JUNE AGAIN (6) is the horse to beat after putting them away by seven lengths at Hanshin Dirt, starting favourite and beating Flame Star with real authority. His record at around 1400m is a major strength, with two wins and one placing from four runs, and the same rider stays with him. ECOLO BOLT (7) also arrives off a win, having led throughout at Sonoda in 3yo+ COND grade and scored by just under two lengths from Z Spunky. The prior 12th at this venue was poor, so he has to confirm that rebound back in this company. ZAKKUZAKU (10) is the reliable danger, beaten just under two lengths at Hanshin Dirt last start after closing well and bringing a deep 1400m record. LIGHT OF NUKATA (1) worked home evenly for fourth behind Yamanin Baroness at Hanshin Dirt and has a perfect two-from-two record at this track, making him a genuine winning hope if he lifts off that first-up run.
