Verdict

ANGE LUNA (12) was an impressive winner last time over 1m at Ohi, scoring by 3 lengths to make it four in succession. Has a strong association with Ryo Novata who has been in the saddle for her last four wins. Sure to play a big role. GIFTED QUEEN (3) was thereabouts last time out when second at Kawasaki over 7f, beaten a neck. Should be at her peak now. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts this campaign, including a win. Sure to run well. RIKU KO (4) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 6f at Ohi. Should be prominent again from the low draw. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. ASIAN VISION (1) was a gutsy winner two back then ran third over 7f at this track on January 8. Mai Fukuhara who has two wins when partnering stays on. Deserves respect.
