Sakura could visually track Kakashi for several hours while Neji was seemingly blitzed by all four teachers against Hinata, so she should scale higher than him in speed.

Additionally, while he is also a specialist in movement, her particular training in evasion gives her a better fighting chance against Gentle Fist than most others.

Combining the above, she can potentially blitz or at least rush him with environmental strikes (giant rocks etc) to overwhelming effect.

On the other hand, normal Kidomaru is roughly one level below Kakashi speed based on the clash with Jonin which had him using CM2 to totally overwhelm them (leading to the conclusion of CM2 being one level above the likes of Kakashi in stats as the Jonin considered CM2 inhuman despite their association with Minato and Kakashi) which puts their experience at CM1 level and normal Kidomaru totally conceded to Neji in close combat (speed). That would mean at least CM1 is needed to overwhelm Neji, at minimum, and Sakura herself already lost to that speed. So it is possible for this version of Neji to be at the same speed as Sakura here.

In that case, his possession of the Air Palm technique could allow him a cheap shot victory.

However, that assumes that the Cherry Blossom Impact can not directly match it in effect.

Overall, more assumptions need to be made in favour of Neji than Sakura in order for him to win so I give her the win. Their styles are very similar as energy-enhanced close combat so it comes down to speed scaling.
