T O PASSWORD (8) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 2.75 lengths away in seventh over 2000m in the G3 Sirius Stakes at Hanshin Dirt on September 27. Has a very strong record first-up including three wins. Will push forward and go close. ACTION PLAN (11) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten a long neck, over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt when returning from a break. Has a strong record here at this journey with four wins from 10 starts. Among the leading chances. BRIAN SENSE (14) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest finishing a 7 length sixth in the G3 Miyako Stakes at Kyoto Dirt. Rates well and can do much better this time. MIKKI NUCHIBANA (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
