Ascoli Piceno has drawn the second most outward post. She has already proven that she can perform well on firm, fast turf in Keisei-hai, and I think she can handle starting from the outward post, but she might do better starting from an inner post. The question rahter seems to lie in her condition after winning in 1351 Turf Sprint.
