Plenty of speed from Buonasera and Hakusan Sakuyahime. AMETHYST LORD (3) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1900m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins from six runs. Top chance again. LILY BRIGHT (1) did a great job to score by 5 lengths over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to cope. SEVEN MAKE HAPPY (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 6 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Steps up a level but he is good enough to figure in the finish. HAKUSAN SAKUYAHIME (8) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track when beaten 2.5 lengths. Shoma Kato who has scored on her seven times retains the mount. One of the better hopes.
