EXTRA PUSH (2) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt following a minor placing at Chukyo Dirt when fresh from a spell the run prior. Well placed this line-up and might be his day. GRAND CHAMP (11) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in third over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt when he was prominent throughout. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ASK HAPPY MAN (4) was fair on debut when sixth over 1700m, 8 len behind Alacran. Better for the run and extra trip a plus. Looks a big improver. KURINO RIKI O (7) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through.
