RAIN CHECK (5) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and is a key runner. T O KALDOR (4) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1400m at Sonoda, making it two minor placings in a row. Faces an easier assignment so he is a major player. NAMURA EMMY (2) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1300m at this track after being prominent from the outset. Has the speed to be prominent from the outset. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LAST PRINCESS (8) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing in seventh at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Rates well on best figures and is worth including.
