Bow Chaser, Schnell Queen and A Shin Licht to take up the running at a decent tempo. SCHNELL QUEEN (9) was successful last start over this journey at Himeji, getting home by 3.5 lengths to make it three wins in a row. Stepping up a level this time but on current form she is one of the chief contenders. HOTEL CALIFORNIA (5) resumes. Was racing well immediately prior to the break registering two minor placings in a row, the latest over this course and distance. Form here at this journey is very good with eight wins from 10 runs. Sure to run well. BOW CHASER (6) went forward last start over 1500m at Himeji and held on well for third. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. A SHIN LICHT (8) ran below expectations last time, finishing fifth. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
