LAYBACK SPIN (14) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.1 lengths, when returning after a spell last start over 1800m at this track. Ran well fresh and is a second-up winner. Improver with winning prospects. AERIAL (11) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on June 15, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Capable of playing a major role. NEXT DANCER (5) returns after a spell of seven months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Goes very well course and distance and is a fresh-up winner. Bold performance expected. LOFTY IDEAL (4) returned from a spell six weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Placed 5/7 second-up and very honest record course and distance. Sure to run well.
