FORTITUDE (4) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 2 lengths last time out over 900m at Kawasaki. Finds a suitable race and can take this out. BITTER MELON (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Kawasaki over 900m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Ryo Novata gets the best out of this three-year-old filly. Finds a nice race and can atone. SARA MISCHIEF (3) is resuming from a spell of five-and-a-half months and having her first run for the Takashi Mizuno yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Monbetsu over 1100m. Well-placed and is among the chances. LIGHTNESS (2) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at this track five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
