NOBO VERSAILLES (1) last appeared when she finished tenth over 1000m at Funabashi on October 31. Has ability and should be right in the finish. GOLD BOND (3) dug deep to score two back then was beaten 9 lengths into eighth over 900m at this track last time five-and-a-half weeks ago. Has a high cruising speed. Among the leading chances. LINO DESTINO (4) showed good speed to lead over 1200m at Funabashi last start but faded right out of it to finish ninth. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give backers a great sight. O SOLE RIKA (6) finished ninth over 1200m at Funabashi at her most recent appearance on January 24. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
