SUNRISE SHEER (7) has not appeared since he finished eighth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt on November 16. Has found a suitable race. Best form is this trip and expected to run well. SHONAN TAHTI (10) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over 1700m at this track. Leading player. MAVORS (12) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can make his presence felt. WITH MUSTANG (5) was in contention on the bend and finished third last time over 1700m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 5.5 lengths. Will trim down second-up. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
