LIEN DU COEUR (9) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten only a nose after being in contention on the turn. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is worth serious consideration. BAKERATTA (12) is back at the races for the first time since May 17. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Has found the right race. GONTA (11) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1800m contest at Hanshin Dirt by 3 lengths. Everything points to a big run. T O KAISER (10) returns from a layoff of four-and-a-half months. Ran an excellent race when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at Kyoto. Can make his presence felt.
