Persephone and Yodono Gold possess good early speed. GOLDEN BALANCE (2) finished eighth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt at his most recent appearance on April 12. Well back in trip but has won fresh. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. MIRAI HARMONY (9) is fitter for two runs from a spell, last start finishing 1.5 lengths away in third over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Good chance to break through. AIKAN AZZURRA (4) faded last time to finish 11th over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt after showing good early speed. Worth another chance. PAS DE ZEPHYR (5) has not appeared since she finished ninth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt on March 7. Definite top-three chance.
