DRAGON (2) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Returns in a very modest race and has the class to fully test this field. LOKAHI (8) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then did a good job last start but found one better over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten only 1.3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HAGINO CORAZON (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 13 starts. Was again denied last start when she found one better over 1800m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal in this ordinary affair. NISHINO MICHIAKI (7) finished third last time over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with top three claims again.
