REFLEX (3) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by 0.8 lengths over this journey at this track after stalking the lead. Has a formidable combination with Kosei Miura who has been aboard for his last two wins. Leading contender. DUBAI BLUES (11) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 6 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Ready to run well. CHIGIRI (9) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Meets some better types this time but she has the ability to test this field. SATOMINO ANGEL (6) disappointed at his last run 12 weeks ago when eighth at Nakayama Dirt, that effort following back-to-back wins. Did commence his last prep with a minor placing over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Capable of testing this field.
