Strong tempo with Ignite You, Ranhardt and Kitano Amapola going forward ahead of Livre Wonder and Daiyu Farina. DAIYU FARINA (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at this track and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Tackling a deeper field this time but capable of another big run. KITANO AMAPOLA (3) was well fancied last start over 1400m at Urawa when fourth. Back in trip and worth another chance. GRAFFITI WAR (8) turned in a strong run over this course and distance last time, settling well back then unleashing in the straight to get up for second. Could be tough to stop again. SASAKIN POPPY (6) is having her second run back from a break after she failed to threaten first up over 800m at Urawa. Solid contender in this line-up.
