Pace a scorcher, headed by Femme Elegante, Aster Ruhuna and Pulp Fiction, closely followed by D S Shoma and Centaur Beast. FEMME ELEGANTE (8) is a speedy filly who returned from a break with a win over 1000m at this track, making it two wins from just three outings. Sure to race up on the speed again and is likely to feature in the finish. GETTY VILLA (4) scored over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt at his most recent appearance on April 27. Expect him to play a major role despite the gap between runs. ASTER RUHUNA (11) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt to launch the last campaign. One to consider. CENTAUR BEAST (10) scored a commanding victory at Kyoto Dirt over 1200m at his latest appearance on 10 May, the only time he faced the starter in that campaign. Should camp just off the leaders. Not to be discounted.
