JUDY IMERU (3) remains a maiden after 12 runs. Had plenty of admirers last time and finishing a close second over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Should camp just off the leaders and this looks an ideal opportunity to break through. GARDIENNE (1) was well fancied last time out but disappointed in finishing fourth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2.75 lengths. Going better than most of these and she looks the obvious threat to the top pick. EIYU SAKURA (15) went forward over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt last time and held on for third when second-up from a spell. Has the gate speed to cross from out wide and will be hard to run down again. ABIDANCE (10) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the lay-off she finished ninth over 1400m at this track. Has ability so don't underestimate.
