ROUGE BONITO (12) went fast early over 1700m at this track last time and went on to score by 5 lengths. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Has upside and expected to take catching again. THREE KEI (11) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1700m at this track. Should park just off the speed despite a difficult draw. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DERMA SAKURA SAKU (6) settled well back but hit the line well to finish fifth, beaten 3 lengths, over 1700m here last time. Must be included. VERRE MUSE (10) was beaten 3.5 lengths into sixth at the second run back from a break in a 1700m contest at this track three weeks ago. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
