SPE LUCE (5) finished second when resuming two runs back at Nakayama then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 1600m at Nakayama. Promising galloper. At top and looks a leading chance to go back to back. TAGANO ARALIA (4) finished out of the money but was not too far away when resuming last start over 1400m in the G3 Falcon Stakes at Chukyo. Big finish fresh to finish fourth in stronger company. Unbeaten second-up. Clear danger. KELHEIM (1) has not raced since she finished fourth over 1200m at Hanshin on February 28. Promising type who ran fourth this grade before a spell. Can go on with the job this prep. VOGEL (6) was well held over 1400m in the G3 Falcon Stakes at Chukyo last time out. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Can feature in the finish.
