BLUE COSMOS (4) turned in a better effort to finish second last start, beaten one length over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Will give a great sight. LITTLE LILY (7) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Looks well placed and she is definitely worth including. CATTLEYA NOCTURNE (1) has two wins and one placing from three runs this preparation. Scored last start by a neck at this track over 1700m after being up on the pace all the way. The engagement of Takahiro Imai is a positive move. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to make a big impact. HACHI HACHI ROSE (5) drifted back over 1400m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can figure in the finish.
