Good pace from Lot Precious, Aile Richelieu and Mayo Tesoro. METROPOLITANA (11) won last start over 1300m at this track, making it three victories from six appearances this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best figures should see her run well. LOT PRECIOUS (6) had been in top form, scoring two consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing second over 1400m at this track. Can feature again. AILE RICHELIEU (7) turned in a modest performance when tenth last time out over 1300m here. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Expect a better run this time. ARS ANTIQUA (2) finished fourth last start over 1600m at Kasamatsu after racing on the pace for much of the way. Among the chances.
