Verdict

MIESTA (2) has improved at each of three runs so far and off the low draw will take catching. OTEMBA PRINCESS (13) finished third, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 7f at this track. Wound up strongly here fresh and fitter again. Hard to beat. JORVIK (4) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 9 lengths into ninth over 6f at Nakayama Dirt. Placed only try this course and distance two back. Fitter and extra trip a plus. Strong winning chance. HANNA PEARL (10) is a three-start maiden who missed the frame first-up but has improved in subsequent runs, finishing in the money last start over 7f at this track after she did her best work late. Likely improver with strong prospects.
