CIUDAD EVITA (5) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1600m at this track. Drawn for a nice run just off the speed. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MIKKI LA SARDANE (4) has not raced since her debut back on January 25 when she finished seventh over 2000m at Nakayama. Likely improver and can get off the mark this time. GRAND SAISON (9) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. WINTER SUN (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
