DONA BIG BEN (5) has the clearest exposed profile, with two close placings this campaign and a strong distance record of three placings from four tries around 1150m. She was pipped at the post by Yotsuba at Niigata Dirt after starting favourite, and her prior third behind Momi Suke was another narrow defeat, so she has the right form to break through. SANONO SOLDIER (4) brings a high-rating debut second at Tokyo Dirt, where he worked home well as a short odds-on favourite behind Grass Rally, though the move back to 1150m is new ground for him. OLAPA (11) was only fifth on debut at Nakayama but was beaten just two and a half lengths at generous odds, and that gives her more upside than the bare placing suggests. IRIS ROSSO (3) resumes after consecutive seconds, including a neck defeat behind La Chiave at Niigata Dirt, and her two placings from three starts make her a genuine danger if she returns in the same order.
