FIRE SPIRIT (9) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability and overdue for a maiden win. SUNRISE ARTHUR (5) was in the money two starts back at this track then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Shapes as one of the top chances. TAISEI ZESTY (3) is back from a spell of four months. Debuted with a third, beaten 4 lengths, over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt at his only appearance to date. Stormed home to place on debut then put away again. Sure to measure up. RAJAH BROOKE (7) finished third last time over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 4.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
