BOKU MADA NEMUIYO (6) is a promising colt back for a second campaign. Is at the races for the first time since he finished third over 1800m at this track on November 2. Has plenty of upside so he should be in the finish. JUSTIN DALLAS (1) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Nicely drawn and he is one of the main chances. SORTE AREIA (2) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 6-length win at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m. Bold showing expected again. TAGANO ABANDONNE (5) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
