Verdict

WIN PRIME (2) has switched yards since finishing tenth a month ago over 1 ?m at Niigata Dirt. Expecting a seamless transition. NIKITA (6) has been out of the placings at her last couple of outings, the latest when she couldn't come after settling back and finished 15th over 7f at Kyoto. Expecting a far better run at this level. FAFROTSKIES (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1 ?m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 52 lengths. Strips fitter and can take this out. EVER WIND (11) has missed the frame at her last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 12th over 1 ?m at Niigata Dirt. Don't underestimate in this much easier assignment.
