MAC LIR (4) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Shaping up nicely and he is a clear top pick. KENTON (5) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1800m at this track to kick off last prep. Solid chance. DANTSU SHITAN (3) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a head from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. TENKA MUTEKI (8) finished sixth over 1800m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 2 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
