Verdict

PIENA FEVRE (8) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1 ?m at Nakayama when he was always up in the leading division. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HEAVEN WIND (3) is a five-start maiden who has been in the money two times, Could only manage 11th last time out over 1 ¼m at Fukushima. Has been in the frame at both appearances at this venue. Has the ability to take this out. VERNALLY (7) will find this a little easier than her third on debut eight weeks ago, beaten 2 lengths at the end of 1 ?m at Nakayama. Promising type with improvement to come so she should be in the finish. MEINER TRAUM (9) produced another moderate effort last start when 5 lengths from the winner in sixth over 1 ¼m at Nakayama at the second run back from a spell. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
