|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong early tempo with Rouge Velvet and Azu Greater leading the way. AZU GREATER (1) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Record at this journey is impressive with three wins and two placings from six runs and is sure to run well. TAGANO HIMOROGI (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 2.5 lengths at this track. Has four wins here. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and can measure up. CROWN ARABIAN (8) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Himeji but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. GIRLS' HEROINE (10) was far too good first up last start when she scored by 4 lengths over 1400m at Himeji. Open to plenty of improvement and is worth including.
