Lots of these out of form. VILJA LIED (14) finished 16th over 1700m at Kokura Dirt at her most recent appearance on January 31. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four starts. Won only try course and distance. Hard to beat. MEISHO TAMUSHIBA (2) started at $7.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing 12th and beaten 9 lengths at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m. Has the class to put the recent run behind her. LANCE OF SIHR (8) is back from a break of ten weeks after stringing together two minor placings prior to spelling. Has a solid first-up record. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts and is expected to be competitive. YUTO THE REN (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
