Dubai Duty Free entrant Vodka, the first filly to win the Japanese Derby in 64 years, went out for some maintenance work on Tuesday morning under jockey Yutaka Take. Take commented after her workout, "She was alone on the turf course, so she was shying and a bit nervous about the surroundings. I think she just was not acquainted with the place, however, once she changed into the top gear, she put in a fantastic performance and I thought that was her real form." Trainer Katsuhiko Sumii added, "She was shying a bit, but her actual performance was no problem at all. We have been doing our best for her and everything has been going well."
