|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Kaunis Mieli has good gate speed and can overcome the wide alley to lead. MONTER JEWEL (4) is on the quick back up after sitting on the pace and boxing on well to finish second at Urawa seven days ago. Good effort last start and should prove tough to beat. MARINO THERESIA (2) progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Facing a tougher assignment but she is worth serious consideration. DEAR FREESE (8) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1000m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. QUANTIZE (12) finished third over 900m at Kawasaki at her most recent appearance on February 2. Among the better hopes.
