MEISHO NANAYUKI (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. GOLD ARCH (3) turned in a moderate effort on debut last start when fourth at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Has upside and deserves another chance. IRON (7) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Rey De Oro from Manyara who has produced her share of winners. Promising type who is one to keep a close eye on in betting. BEST LAKE (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
