|---|---|---|---|---|

Certain to be a strong tempo with Koseki, Invincible Papa and Jennifer leading the charge. DIANASAAL (7) is a talented four-year-old entire who resumes from a break after finishing in the money at his latest outing 12 weeks ago against an inferior field than this over 1200m at Kyoto. Excels fresh and likely to take catching.RAPIER (3) did well when resuming over 1200m in the G3 Hakodate Sprint Stakes last start, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and has plenty of upside with the run under his belt. Leading chance. JENNIFER (5) found one marginally better last start over 1200m in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen at Kokura after being prominent throughout. Looks well placed so expect another bold performance. RED EVANS (6) comes here off a break of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Kyoto. Worth plenty of thought.
