AWESOME WORLD (6) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1400m at this track five months ago. Sure to prove tough to beat. MEISHO BENIBANA (4) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at Urawa, finishing 16 lengths back in 11th. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to turn things around. SIENA TITICACA (5) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 14 lengths. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. ODEN RICKEY (3) settled well back and failed to come on last start when eighth over 1400m at this track at her first run back from a break. Should run well.
