GOLDEN BALANCE (1) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last nine weeks ago when he scored over 1400m at this track. Has further upside. Ideally placed to score. MEISHO KAKUUCHI (11) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Fitter again and a winning hope. MAME TANK (3) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt four-and-a-half months ago and has not raced since. On speed and too strong before being put away again.Will come on following that run and looks a definite threat. LUCKY BUCK (10) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths, after a win at Kyoto Dirt at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
