ARAMUSHA PYRRHUS (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing third when resuming last time out over 2000m at Kokura. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. A SHIN LIVE WELL (13) is back after a break of four months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. SPARTAN X (4) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten a nose. In the right race and is a winning hope. MEISHO HITAKAMI (12) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of three-and-a-half months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
