ECORO SPADA (1) was well fancied last start at the second run back from a break and was impressive again, finishing third over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Great chance to break through. ARC D'OR (9) did little and finished 6 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Chukyo Dirt the run before. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TOMOJA ZAN (5) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only one length over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SARAKOSTH (14) last appeared on October 25 when a good sixth over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 3 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Don't underestimate.
