Neilikka has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. LUFTKUSS (7) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Must raise the bar but she is racing well and another big run will not surprise. HOLLYWOOD PARK (14) finished 3.5 lengths behind the winner in third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be in the finish. METEOR LIGHT (9) resumed six weeks ago over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt and was only beaten 0.7 lengths into fourth. Has a very strong second up record. Goes up a rung or two but she is fitter and good enough to feature. SAXON SIENNE (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
