PIXIE BLAST (9) sets the standard off a sound debut at Nakayama, where she was fourth in a 2yo NEWCOMER and beaten just over two lengths after being well found in an open market. The return to 1400m is a small question, but the debut substance and scope for natural improvement make her the horse to beat. Y'S JEWEL (6) has been in the market at both starts and worked home fairly from an impossible position last time, so the extra ground can help her show more. COOL BOBBY (8) brings a recent line through Seiun Relena and had Y's Jewel behind him there, though his two previous 1400m attempts leave some qualification. YODONO PREMIUM (1) was favourite when fifth last start, yet his Niigata debut third reads well enough to keep him firmly in the winning mix.
