DON IN THE MOOD (5) resuming after back-to-back wins at the end of last campaign at Tokyo Dirt. Kiwamu Ogino has been the pilot at his last two wins. Was stakes winner fresh and has won this level. Bold showing expected. DRAGON TAYLOR (13) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Will give a great sight. DANON FIGO (7) is a talented galloper who finished second in an easier race over 1400m at Kochi at his last appearance four months ago. Has a strong first-up record including a win and one minor placings. Tackles tougher company but can figure in the finish. BERGERONNETTE (8) scored last start at Hanshin Dirt to make it three wins and two placings from five starts this campaign. Takes on a better field this time but cannot be underestimated.
