The most open race on the card. CHIMNEY PIPE (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Has a fair record when second-up, including two top-three finishes. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SUNRISE BREAK (5) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1200m at Niigata Dirt on October 25. Usually needs a run or two but this looks a most suitable race to launch this prep. AS GOD (8) finished 3 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1000m at Kokura Dirt when resuming from a spell. Steps up in journey today. Fitter and can play a big role. LEGENDARY DAY (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should tighten right up and prove harder to beat.
