ERIKA BIARRITZ (12) raced twice in her maiden campaign and started favourite on each occasion without winning, the latest effort a second over 1500m at Sapporo on August 30. Has a wide gate to overcome but is high among the list of chances in an ordinary affair. BUTTER CHOCOLAT (6) stepped out for her debut over 1600m at this track back on February 15 and finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Capable of sharp improvement this time in work. UNCHAIN (5) finished second last time over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 1.5 lengths. Ready to go one better in a race where most aren't performing this well. RIKEA MACARONI (13) finished 9 lengths away in fifth at her last appearance over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt on March 29. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
