MR TONTON (6) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Excellent chance to break through. TSUKUBA VANGUARD (11) finished second as favourite last time out over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt, making it five minor placings from six starts this time in work. Overdue and looks a leading hope. IIKUNI PASSION (7) is a eight-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 2.5 lengths when fourth over 1150m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. FORWARD CHASSE (8) is a three-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m last time out after being in contention on the corner. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
