PALPITATION (4) scored first-up at Mizusawa then found one better last time at this track over 1400m, beaten one length. Racing well and should be at her top. Hard to beat. AZZURRA (8) finished out of the money when fifth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Going along well with five placings from 10 starts this time in. Looks one of the chances. HAKUAI DREAM (9) scored three runs back but has been disappointing in two subsequent efforts, the latest when seventh over 1400m at this track. Well placed to find winning form again. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (6) is a 62-start maiden finding it tough to win but has been in the placings at his last two runs, finishing second most recently over 1400m at this track. Well placed and today may be the day.
