Some promising gallopers come together in an intriguing contest. TYPHOON NINE (8) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. NURNBERG (10) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a neck last time out over 1200m at this track. Meets a stronger field but she is capable of running a bold race. WORLD ANGEL (3) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 1200m at Kokura two months ago. Sure to play a major role. WIN GALAHAD (12) showed good early speed over 1200m at Kokura on debut last start and went on to salute by 1.5 lengths. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Among the primary contenders.
