WURAYAH (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1200m at Morioka Dirt as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from nine runs. Big chance once again. HIROSHIKUN (8) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a neck away in second last time over 1800m at Morioka Dirt. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. SUZUKA GOKETSU (7) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at Morioka Dirt, beaten half a length. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. TAISEI AGAIN (4) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run.
