SONIC ISLE (12) showed ability at her only start back on June 20 when wound up strongly late and finished second over 1200m at Hakodate. Jumps from a wide alley but is expected to prove tough to beat. TOSEN LOURDES (14) has been in the placings at her last two, most recently when second over 1200m at this track at her third run back from a break. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Close to a win. ARTE QUEEN (8) tackled stakes class last time when beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth over 1200m in the G3 Hakodate Nisai Stakes. Should park just off the speed. Will give backers a great sight. PARFECT GAME (9) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Likely improver worth including.
