Verdict

SANSHISUIMEI (9) displayed plenty of early toe over 4f at this track when resuming last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MEGU (1) returns from a break of four-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 4f at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. QUEEN'S HAPPY (2) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths starting at $3.10. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. I AM KACHIMASHO (4) could only manage seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 4f at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best efforts measure up so capable of another good run.
