SILVER RATIO (8) knuckled down strongly to get within a neck of the winner in second last start over 1800m at this track. Mirai Iwata stays on. Knocking on the door and expected to go close again. SCHNELL ANGE (5) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1800m at this track ten weeks ago and has not been produced since. Promising type who can measure up again. BOKU MADA NEMUIYO (2) was in contention on the corner and finished third last time over 1800m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.25 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. DANTSU SHITAN (7) was in contention on the corner and finished third last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Should be peaking. Likely improver with solid claims.
