Verdict

LALATINA (5) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Was narrowly beaten at her only appearance when last in work at Urawa over 6 ½f. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Likely to feature. MUSICIENNE (1) raced on the speed and kept going to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 7f at Urawa. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. TSUKUBA APPLAUSE (2) is a 21-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth after being in the firing line on the corner at her latest appearance over 6f at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. MAJOR APPEAL (11) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 7f at Urawa, beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
