Verdict

SATONO LILIUM (4) broke through for her maiden win over 6f at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Wada Joji sticks and she is a key runner. DANDY KING (3) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish half a length away in second over 6f at this track. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish. YOSHINO LILAS (7) got the prize two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 6f at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. GRASS COMET (6) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 6f at this track. This looks a good race for her and should run well.
