NIJIIRO PIKAL (2) resumed over 1200m at this track last time out and showed good speed to lead throughout, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Should measure up again. GERBERA FLAVOR (1) resumes after a break of three-and-a-half months. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1400m at this track. Sure to make her presence felt. CIVIC FOURWHEEL (3) was quickly into stride over 1200m at this track last time and went on to score by 1.5 lengths. Drawn to go forward again. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. MUSCLE CHUMMY (9) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up run. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders.
