ADMIRE ADEL (9) recorded a strong maiden win over 1300m at Mizusawa last time, putting her rivals to the sword. Looks well placed and a repeat effort can see her bring up back-to-back wins. SUN WHITE CLIFF (5) scored a barnstorming win last start over 1300m at Mizusawa, coming from the tail to get up by a neck. Is going well this campaign, recording a win and a minor placing from four starts. Expected to be in the finish. TAP AND CLAP (2) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa, finishing third and beaten 1.3 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ASUMA STEVE (7) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at Mizusawa, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
