PRINCESS DARK (12) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. YASAKA SOLEIL (9) was in the money two starts back at Urawa but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at Kawasaki over 1400m. Nicely placed to turn things around. PICCOLO BAMBINA (7) returned from a spell five weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the bend before being beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SCREAM EAGLE (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fifth over 1300m at Urawa. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
