Erika Margherita and Juwelier to take up the running at a strong tempo. ERIKA MARGHERITA (5) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 7 lengths on her rivals. Expected to take some stopping again. JUWELIER (8) did a great job to score by 4 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to cope. FUKU RESERVE (4) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Himeji, most recently beaten 8 lengths into second over 1400m here when she was prominent throughout. The engagement of Takashi Nakata is noteworthy. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. COEUR ET SUGURI (10) won at Himeji two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 1400m at this venue. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
