Y'S FAMIGLIA (1) looks the one to beat despite arriving off a two-month break, with her Niigata fifth behind Fuji Sun reading well after she was beaten only a length and a half in an 18-runner Mdn. The Nakayama eighth over 2000m was fair rather than sharp, and 1400m is new, but the class-drop tag and stronger 12-month rating give her a solid winning case. LA LA ANCESTRAL (5) is the immediate danger after leading and beating Taiki Chronicle at this track as favourite in C3 company, with a deep record at this track and distance and a proven rider pairing. COSMO TAISHI (2) has not fired at his past two C2 runs, yet his long 1400m record and recent 12-month place rate keep him in the mix for a minor result. OFFSHORE GIRL (6) resumes after three months having ended last campaign with a C3 win over Do Anything at this venue, and her extensive 1400m background makes her a live place chance if ready fresh.
