GOOFED LYPHARD (10) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Has a wide gate to overcome but she can go on with it. SHINANO COOPER (11) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 4 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1400m at this track. Worth noting Yujiro Tanabata goes aboard. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. INADAHIME (3) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Looking to emulate her debut win over 1400m at this track to kick off last prep. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. ICHIKANO YUME (2) scored two back then sat on the pace last time when 3 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. In the mix.
