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

Solid tempo anticipated with Scandinavia heading them off. ROUGE MIRAGE (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 4 lengths at this track over 1500m. Will prove very tough to beat. SCANDINAVIA (8) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 6 lengths at Kochi over 1300m. Strong performer when second up with two wins and two minor placings from seven runs. Eita Inoue has been the pilot at her last seven wins. Should be hard to stop. KETEN DREAM (6) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a head last start over 1700m at Sonoda. Sure to be thereabouts. HOLY GRAIL (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Kawasaki, beaten 5 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
