RHINO (9) scored first up at Tokyo Dirt then finished 3.5 lengths away in fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Goes very well third-up and looks the one to beat. ZEN ESPOIR (12) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Worth noting N Yokoyama goes aboard. Has the class to take care of this field. SHOW DANCER (10) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Nice effort last time. Overdue and gets chance. ARC D'OR (3) is putting together some solid results. Finished second at Chukyo Dirt two starts back then got the job done by a neck last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
