VISCONTESSA (6) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Fitter again and should feature in the finish. SILVER LIMB (11) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the corner over 2000m at this track, an improvement on her seventh at Hanshin the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MEISHO PIRKA (10) has been thereabouts recently, the latest result a fourth beaten 2.5 lengths at Kokura over 1800m. Jumps from a wide gate and should be in the finish again. BELLE CHEVAL (1) was last at the races when she finished fourth over 2000m at Hanshin on June 21. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
