LYNX TIP (11) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fourth over 2200m in the G1 Queen Elizabeth II Cup at Kyoto 12 weeks ago. Most of career has been at the elite level and is Grade 1 placed in the Oka Sho. Excellent chance this easier class. ROUGE SOLITAIRE (9) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 5.5 lengths away in eighth over 2000m in the G1 Shuka Sho at Kyoto on October 19. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Among the leading chances. CANICULE (1) has had two runs since a break, the latest a sixth over 1600m at Nakayama, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter so she is among the leading chances. MIKKI TWINKLE (5) is fitter for two runs back from a spell, progressing nicely last time to finish second, beaten one length, at Kokura over 1800m. Among the better chances.
