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

Plenty of pace with Meisho Ike and Kito Win up front, pressured by Tagano Hinata and First Rickey. MEISHO IKE (3) has scored at his last five starts, most recently by one length over 1300m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with five wins from nine runs. Can measure up again. KITO WIN (4) started at $1.70 last time but could only manage sixth at this track over 1400m. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Can atone. TAGANO HINATA (7) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has four wins here. Jun Tanaka who has scored on her four times retains the mount. Expected to measure up. FIRST RICKEY (9) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth over 1400m at this track. Has a fine record here with three wins from five starts. Too good to ignore.
