Z YELL (14) boasts an impressive record of three wins from six starts. Added to his reputation at the most recent appearance when successful by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Has the speed to overcome the draw and another big run looks on the cards. LUDIQUE (12) had been rock-solid with four placings in a row before finishing fifth over 1200m at this track last start. Has a decent record at this trip with four minor placings from five tries and shapes as a key contender. HIRUNO DE GAULLE (11) lines up on the back of a 3 length sixth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt a fortnight ago. The winner of three races, all at this circuit. This sets up nicely. SHONAN OBVIOUS (8) ran below his best when fifth last start over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Sure to do much better.
