ZION DANCER (3) finished second, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt on debut four-and-a-half months ago and has been kept under wraps since. Nicely drawn and expected to play a major role. GARNET FLARE (2) wound up strongly last time out to finish a long neck adrift in third over 1700m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Among the leading chances. CORSAGE (10) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 1700m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten a nose. Nicely placed to play a major role. KEN BRIDGE GRAY (9) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 13th over 1600m at Hanshin. Rates highly on the only other run and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
