GREAT AGAIN (10) brings the strongest outside form, with a narrow second to Kitano Hightail at Chukyo Dirt two runs back followed by a sixth at Hanshin Dirt when beaten just over six lengths in a Mdn. He is still a maiden and has yet to win at around 1500m, but this looks a more suitable assignment and he gets the nod. HOSHO RYU (8) is the obvious danger after winning a C1 at this track by three lengths as favourite, with strong track-and-distance figures to support the repeat bid. STAY LUCKY (12) has the most reliable profile, winning here by five lengths two back and placing in all five attempts at this track and distance. CHAT KELLY (3) was big odds when second first-up and her track-and-distance placing record keeps her in the mix, though she has to prove she can turn that consistency into another win.
