MIRACLE CATS (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 5 lengths. That was from a wide gate. Much better draw and worth noting only career win was second-up. Gets chance. AROMA FELIZ (12) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt after being in contention on the corner. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. HAGINO CORAZON (8) finds it hard to win with just one success from 14 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. NOBLE ACT (13) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
