FUERTE IROHA (2) sets the standard after starting odds-on favourite on debut at this track and finishing fourth, beaten four and a half lengths by Moonlit Days. She was swamped late there, but the market respect and top recent ratings give her the strongest platform to improve second-up. WHITE MIRAGE (1) is the main danger from an inside draw, though her 900m debut fourth behind Ivy Odr left more to find and 1400m is new ground. NO MORE YOU (5) was beaten over 16 lengths on debut, yet Ryo Novata taking the ride is a genuine plus and he can be sharper with race experience. KISEN SHEILA (7) resumes after three months and must put a plain finish to last campaign behind her, but her earlier fifth at this venue keeps her in the minor-money conversation.
