BRITPOP (7) went to the lead from the low draw when fresh from a spell last time out and was still there on straightening, eventually finishing second over 900m at this track. Well-placed and is going to prove tough to run down. TUNAS (5) is a promising galloper who saluted at her last run before a break 11 weeks ago over 800m at Urawa. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expecting a bold showing. BARGELLO (1) showed good early pace over 900m at this track last time and kept going to score by half a length. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LA TARANTELLA (9) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 800m at Urawa then fought on gamely to finish second. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish.
