WINK MAID (2) is yet to break through after 20 starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1500m at this track. Has a strong finish. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. SODACHIZAKARI (3) opened this prep with a win two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1700m at this track. Beautifully placed and is sure to make amends. TSUKIKAGE (6) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. DUAL BLADE (4) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when ninth here over 1500m. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
