DUNKELD (12) scored an impressive win by 4 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1200m at this track. Yet to be beaten at this trip from two starts and he looks hard to stop again. BIG DREAM (4) filled yet another minor placing last time when 4 lengths adrift in third over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt after being in the firing line all the way. Has the pace and draw to take up a good early position. Racing in great heart and is sure to take a ton of beating. GOLD HAMMER (11) ran well below her best last time over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths into ninth at $4.60. Yokoyama who has scored on her twice retains the mount. One of the main contenders if near her best. KYOEI KUNG FU (13) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at this track over 1200m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Worth another chance.
