Verdict

SATONO STARLIGHT (4) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish fourth over 1 ¼m at this track. Racing well. Has strong claims to break through, especially if the main danger is giving a big start. CLAIRE NOA (14) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1 ¼m at Nakayama. Has a huge finish. Drawn out but hard to hold out fresh. DANON ASCOLTI (16) resumes from a spell of three months and is having her first outing under new trainer Masahiro Otake. Finished sixth at this track over 1 ?m at the opening run last time in work. Well-placed and is among the chances. BEAR SANAECHAN (8) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1m at this track. Should be about the money.
