HISUI COAST (3) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 1000m at this track at her latest appearance. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Can play a major role. NITTO MIZUNA (1) ran below expectations last time out, finishing sixth starting at $5.40. Well-placed and a big chance to atone. COEUR D'ANGE (2) will find this a little easier than her third on debut four weeks ago over 1200m at this track. Sure to take a lot from that hitout and is among the leading chances. ESQUIRE (5) is a three-year-old colt who has filled a minor placing just once in eight runs. Failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last start, finishing tenth over 1400m at Mizusawa. Look for an improved run here.
