SHONAN PATHOS (10) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Should park just off the speed and in this suitable contest is among the leading chances. PROSPECT PARK (9) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Often needs a run to hit some form but this is not a deep race so he should give a good account. GENEROUS KING (3) looks to kick off this prep the way he ended the last three months ago when he scored over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Sure to be competitive. RALPH TESORO (12) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fifth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
