HISHI NASQUILLO (11) will find this a little easier than her second on debut five weeks ago, beaten a neck at the end of 2000m at Tokyo. Likely improver so she will be hard to beat. BEAR SANAECHAN (1) improved last time out, finishing a long neck from the winner in third at the end of 1600m at Tokyo. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. PANKY (8) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1600m at Hanshin. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Chukyo over 2000m. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. KOWANNI SHITAGAU (16) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 2000m at Hanshin. Can kick off with a bold showing.
