Solid tempo anticipated with Masa Wood Tail and Ireland's Call matching motors. IRELAND'S CALL (1) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 1400m at Sonoda. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. CALLING ME (7) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on December 20 over 1400m when she scored by half a length. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MASA WOOD TAIL (2) could only manage second as favourite last start over 1300m at this track after being well positioned to strike on the turn, making it six minor placings from 12 starts this campaign. Sure to be competitive. SAIKAKU (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1300m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
