This looks a race in three. RED VERMEER (10) was in the market but could only manage fifth when resuming over 1600m at Chukyo last start. Has been in the money at both second-up runs. Change of rider to Yuga Kawada who has never been out of the money in three rides, including a win. Looks the one to beat. SANTANKA (11) finished out of the money two starts back then he made up a mountain of ground to be beaten 2 lengths when sixth over 1400m at Chukyo four weeks ago. Sure to be putting in the big strides late. PIETANZA (4) missed the placings first-up recently but was not too far from the winner when sixth over 1600m at Hanshin. Won at her only try second-up. Backmarker who gets home hard. Winning claims on best figures. BAILEYCHLORE (7) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt on September 15. Worth including in trifectas and first fours.
