LIBERIAN GIRL (3) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1400m at this track. In-form five-year-old mare so this is her chance to grab that elusive victory. ON THE BASARA (2) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Shinobu Murakami has registered four minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. TSUWAMONO (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1300m. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time. KITANO PASSION (9) has accrued three minor placings from four runs this preparation. Finished 4 lengths from the winner in third last time out over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
