LAILA (6) was in commission second-up last start and made it two minor placings on the trot, finishing third over 1400m at Hanshin. Honest filly who looks perfectly placed to return to the winner's list. EDEL WEG (10) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second at Hanshin two starts back then got the job done by half a length as favourite last time out over 1600m at the same track. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to test this line-up. AJMAN (5) caught the eye last start over 1400m at Hanshin, coming from well back to finish a neck from the winner in second. One of the contenders. SANTANKA (2) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break five months ago over 1600m at this track. Goes well when fresh including a win and two minor placings. Definite contender.
