SKY STRIPES (15) met with solid support last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt when third, beaten 3.5 lengths. Drawn out but has the gate speed to cross and race handy. Should play a big part. SISTEMA SOLAR (9) should be at his top after three runs this prep, the latest a second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt four weeks ago. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts. Looms as a serious contender. JUN DORADORA (2) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt at the latest appearance seven weeks ago. Should camp just off the leaders. Winning claims on best figures. FRANKIE BAROWS (3) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has to be respected.
