Princess Superal has decided to campaign in Japan, making it a wide-open race when the ICTSI Aoki Classic, the latest restart to the Ladies Philippine Golf Tour (LPGT), tees off on Wednesday at the Eagle Ridge complex in General Trias, Cavite.

And that makes Chanelle Avaricio and Harmie Constantino as the prohibitive picks in the P750,000 event, with Avaricio continuing her quest for a breakthrough pro triumph after being foiled twice by Superal right before a second lockdown was imposed because of the spike of coronavirus cases in NCR Plus bubble.

An Alabama State University product, Avaricio barely missed scoring her first win at Sherwood Hills, falling short by one to Superal and losing by three to her again at Eagle Ridge-Norman, both last July, which makes her very determined to get the job done this time.

Also fancied are Chihiro Ikeda, Daniella Uy, Sunshine Baraquiel, Marvi Monsalve and US Ladies Professional Golf Association veteran Cyna Rodriguez.
