Strong early tempo with Placebo, Gerberan Queen and Gempachi Luminous leading the way. PLACEBO (10) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 5-length win over 2200m at this track to make it three in a row. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Major player. ENERGY POCO A POCO (1) was well fancied last time but found one better at Urawa, finishing one length adrift at the end of 2000m. Looks well placed stepping out in trip. Sure to run well. GERBERAN QUEEN (3) improved last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1600m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. AL AIN OASIS (6) turned in a fine effort to win by 8 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better effort. No reason she cannot salute again.
