Strong tempo with Arabian Rain and Garnier leading the way over Princess Sakura. ARABIAN RAIN (9) scored by 2 lengths when resuming last start at this track over this distance after he was in the firing line on the turn. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Has a formidable combination with Mai Fukuhara who has been aboard for his last two wins. Should be hard to stop. SANTA MONICA BEACH (3) finds it hard to win with two victories from 20 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1500m at this track. Genuine chance on latest effort. GARNIER (4) fought on well to finish second last start over 1500m at Kawasaki, beaten half a length. In a suitable race and can play a major role. PRINCESS SAKURA (5) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Finds an easier assignment and can keep the ball rolling.
