BABY KISS (8) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.8 lengths adrift in second over 1200m at Chukyo. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Goes well course and distance. Good effort last start and expected to take catching. MEISHO PEACE (1) last appeared when fourth over 1200m at Fukushima 12 weeks ago at the only appearance of that campaign. Won only try course and distance and best form is when fresh. Looks a key runner. BLACK KELLY (18) is a distance specialist who missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 2.5 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at Chukyo after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ESPECIALLY (16) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing ninth over 1200m at Fukushima 12 weeks ago. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Must be respected.
