FESTIVE HEART (3) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was handy all the way over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has her share of ability. Long overdue and looks hard to beat. UNIVERSAL LOVE (9) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. HARIKOMICHU (11) is on debut for the Masahiro Takeuchi stable. Three-year-old filly by Majestic Warrior from Esperanza Nana. Must be kept safe, particularly if there is a market lead. DERMA ZAO (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
