ASK CHANCE MAN (9) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Gets back in his races but can reel off a big final split. Will be hard to beat. GAURA DISCO (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 8 lengths, over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Has further improvement to come and can find peak form this time. SAIMON ZEST (13) showed good speed last time out and fought on well when second over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Winning claims on best figures. CORVUS (7) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 5 lengths. Will benefit from that outing. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish.
