JUNE EOS (1) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1700m at this track last time. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Loves the course and distance and should go close. ARENA PALACIO (16) was always forward and boxed on to finish fourth over 1700m at this track last time. Has a good record here at this journey. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Sure to be in the finish. LEVANTE CITY (13) went back early from his wide draw over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last time but hit the line strongly to finish seventh. Should prove tough to hold out. SAIMON CHEVALIER (12) is a last-start winner over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a neck. Seinosuke Yoshimura who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Deserves respect.
