HENNY TYPHOON (1) lines up for the first time since December 30. Looking to emulate her win at Funabashi at the beginning of last prep. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Expect her to play a major role. SHIMME RUBUS (12) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by one length over 2000m at Kawasaki last start. Has a fine record here with four wins from six starts. Among the leading chances. ANGE FIELD (3) did a great job to score by a head over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is right in contention. OMEGA SYMPHONY (5) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1600m at Ohi after showing good early speed. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to make a big impact.
