AMERICAN ISM (9) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of nine weeks, his last appearance being a win over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt at his only run of that campaign. Has never been out of the placings first up from three tries. Has good gate speed and sure to prove tough to beat. STAR SHIP (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on May 30, finishing fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1800m in the LR HOSU STAKES at Kyoto Dirt. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. EXTRA PUSH (3) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1900m at this track. Can make his presence felt. ECORO SPADA (10) returns from a layoff of seven months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
