Verdict

LOVELY YOSHINO (1) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1m at this track. Can improve enough to win this. NONSTOP GIRL (12) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by a head as public elect last time out over 1m at this track. Wada Joji scored on her last time and retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SUN SHIP (9) was well fancied last start over 1 ?m at this track when second, beaten 5 lengths. Can bounce back over this journey. KIBARU STAR (6) ran a better race last start, finishing 3 lengths away in fourth over 1m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest.
