YUYU STARRY (4) built on a nice third two starts back with success as public elect over 1600m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Yoichi Ando scored on her last time and retains the mount. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. WIDE RUHREND (8) was last at the races when she finished 12th over 1800m at Kokura on February 22. Has switched to the Kiyoaki Takahashi stable. Capable of playing a major role in this suitable race. DIA NO ACE (7) turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1650m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Finds an easier assignment and can bounce back. COOL BREEZE (3) has two placings from five runs this preparation and finished fourth last start at this track. Could sneak a place with some luck.
