BERKEN (8) has been below par since a win three starts ago, the latest effort a seventh over 1400m at this track. Better placed this time and deserves another chance. MEISHO TAIZAN (2) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Rates highly and is a strong chance to break through here in easier. LORD VERTEX (6) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Among the chances. OKANO STORM (1) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track. Capable of another big run.
