IN YOUR PALACE (1) finished third behind Matenro Command at Kochi over this distance at his latest outing. Yet to miss the placings here in an excellent record which boasts three wins and two placings. Big chance to find winning form. JUSTIN EARTH (13) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Scored a determined win at his only run last campaign in Listed grade at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with three wins from six runs and shapes as a key contender. BERGERONNETTE (11) finished 1.3 lengths from the winner in third last start at Hanshin Dirt over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring four times from seven starts. Katsuma Sameshima who has scored on him four times retains the mount. One of the main contenders. LUX SPEI (6) comes here following a win over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt six weeks ago, getting home by a nose. Profiles to run well.
