DURA ETERNO (10) wound up strongly only to just miss as favourite last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Distance specialist who doesn't know how to run a bad race. Ready to go one better. SATOMINO ANGEL (13) built on a nice second when fresh from a spell two starts back at Nakayama Dirt with success as favourite over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt six weeks ago, getting home by 1.75 lengths. Meets a stronger field but he is capable of running another bold race. ALANA KOA (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fourth. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GRAIL QUEST (2) finished second two runs back at Chukyo Dirt then improved last time out to score by a neck over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Should feature in the finish.
