Solid tempo with Massilia leading from Arrack and Presto Angel. ARRACK (5) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at this track over 1200m. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. ROBERTA CARINA (7) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 850m at Mizusawa. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four starts. Big chance once again. MAKOTO DAITOREN (4) is overdue for a win with three placings from five starts this prep, the latest effort a second over 1200m at this track. Don't underestimate. IKIZAMA (6) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance.
