MONROE WALK (8) brings the cleanest winning profile after remaining unbeaten through four starts, most recently taking the G2 Rose Stakes (Shuka Sho Trial) at Hanshin by three lengths as a short odds-on favourite. The 2000m is new, but she has kept improving and beat Enne clearly there. DREAM CORE (13) has the deeper Group 1 reference, having gone under by a neck in the G1 Yushun Himba before resuming with a closing third to Master Soarer in the G2 Shion Stakes. GARNET FLARE (11) is the rising danger, winning her past two and already proven at this distance, though this is her first black-type test. MASTER SOARER (3) has two wins from three starts, beat Something Sweet in the G2 Shion Stakes first-up and owns a win at 2000m, so she has the right substance to stay in the argument.
