KOIOS TESORO (9) is a genuine type with three minor placings from three starts this campaign. Was prominent throughout and finished a nose from the winner in second last start over 1700m at this track. Little depth to this and he looks the winner. XEROGRAPHICA (1) was below his best last start when beaten a long way into tenth over 1700m at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expecting a better showing. SHIN ENDO TSUDA (12) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. One of the trifecta and first four contenders. ECORO ABYSS (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at HAKODATE, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
