TAGANO PUDDING (8) was well in commission last start over 1000m at Kokura Dirt when fourth, beaten 2 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings. Not a great deal of quality to this field and she looks to have their measure. TRIVIA (9) resumes. Raced just once last prep three-and-a-half months ago when she finished tenth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Likely improver this time in work. WILD CHARM (15) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at her latest appearance over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. In the mix on best figures. ASTER EPOISSES (13) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep with a 12th, beaten 13 lengths, over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. One of the main contenders.
