DAIEI BILBERRY (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 9/01/2025, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 800m at Urawa. Expect her to play a major role. SHINING LUKIA (8) sat just off the speed and fought on well to finish second when resuming last start at this course and distance. Second-up record is strong. Sure to run well again. KALAUNU (6) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 800m at Urawa then fought on gamely to finish second. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. SIX LETTER (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at Funabashi over 1000m. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot return to winning ways.
