GRATIAM (9) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Turned in a fair effort at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m at her only run last prep, finishing fifth and beaten 2 lengths. Has ability and should be right in the finish. I'M INDY (16) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1200m at Hakodate, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at Tokyo Dirt at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. LIVE RED EYE (12) pushed forward from a wide draw when fresh from a spell last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fifth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Will push forward and is among the chances. J L CARRIER (14) performed above expectations when resuming last time over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, finishing 1.3 lengths from the winner in third after starting at huge odds. Among the fringe chances.
