Verdict

STORM PEGASUS (12) met with solid support last start over 7 ½f at Urawa when fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths. Strong winning chance. BOTAN BOUQUET (7) progressed nicely last time out when she worked home well to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in second over 6f at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. VINYL (10) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished 8 lengths from the winner in sixth over 5f at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. VICKERS (11) improved last start to finish third over 6f at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
