MONROE WALK (7) impressed last time with a 3.5 lengths win at Hakodate over this journey. Should be prominent from the outset. Three dominant wins from three starts. Expected to measure up. ENNE (2) resumes after a break of four months. Won on debut then Grade 2 placed before being beaten two lengths at the top level last time in the Oaks. Among the leading players. EXCEED (6) is a promising galloper who got the prize at her only run last prep four months ago over 1800m at Tokyo. Has a very strong record first-up including two wins. Christophe Lemaire who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Should be involved in the finish. TAISEI VOGUE (12) is back from a spell of six-and-a-half months. Scored a determined win at her only run last preparation in the G2 Tulip Sho (1000 Guineas Trial) at this track over 1600m. Grade 1 placed prior to that in the Guineas. Definite top-three chance.
