JOCELYN (17) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Filled a minor placing in the G2 Shion Stks when returning from a spell last prep over 2000m at Nakayama. Expect her to play a major role. COCONUTS BROWN (8) resumes. Didn't do a bad job at all at her only run last prep on November 16, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 2200m in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Kyoto. Tackles an easier assignment at the start of this campaign and should be hard to stop. THERESA (1) was well held in the Shuka Sho won by Embroidery over 2000m at Kyoto at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Opened last prep with a placing at G2 level. One to consider. LADY VALUE (15) is back from a spell. In sparkling form last prep with two wins from as many runs, the latest over 2000m at Kyoto on October 5. This is her optimum trip with four wins from six starts and is not to be discounted.
