PREMIERE PAS (12) is a promising filly yet to miss the frame after five starts, including three wins. Has not been produced since she was successful over 1000m at Monbetsu on November 7. Should be prominent from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. KITASAN RIBBON (8) finished ninth last start over 1200m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. ROI DE SABLE (6) finished 16th at this track and distance at his last appearance ten weeks ago. Looks a strong top-three prospect. KIWAMI IMON (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing eighth at this track over 1200m after he was well back on straightening. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run.
