Solid tempo with Hakusan Sakuyahime leading from Eight Beat Letter and Andare. HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (2) scored over 1400m at this track at her most recent appearance on December 28. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in seven starts, including six wins and one placing. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. EIGHT BEAT LETTER (11) resumes in a similar race to her last run 11 weeks ago when she scored by 3 lengths. Capable of playing a major role. TOSHO CLOUD (9) scored a dominant win at this track over 1400m at his latest appearance on December 27. Makes plenty of appeal. BEST TANGO (4) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
