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

Plenty of pace with Yamatake Kochan and Ivy Blitz leading from Benino Rave. YAMATAKE KOCHAN (9) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at this track four months ago. Has a high cruising speed. Likely to feature. RIKKIO (10) turned things around last start and scored by 3 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 1400m at this track. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. IVY BLITZ (12) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in third over 1500m at Kawasaki. Should go forward from the awkward gate. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. APPRAISER (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on February 27 when beaten 6 lengths into fourth at this track over 1500m after being in contention on the corner. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out.
