BENDYUGA (11) scored an impressive win by 9 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1300m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and is a great chance to get the prize again. NISHINO IKKI SASU (5) made good late ground from the back but never threatened over 1300m at this track last time out. Form here very good with a win and two minors and expecting a bold showing. SAKURA MY WAY (12) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1400m. Yet to break through here over this distance but has never missed the placings in four starts. One of the main contenders. JUN KACHIGARASU (4) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, after being in contention on the corner at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration.
