EIKAI SOUL (5) is back at the races for the first time since January 11. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Loves the trip and expected to measure up. KEVALA (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Gave a sight fresh but found one better. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance. FEEL AWESOME (3) was below her best last time when sixth after being in the firing line on the corner over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Has led from wide gates last two but draws close this time and expected to finish much closer. MEISHO COUGAR (9) ran on well to score fresh and has a good second-up record. Sure to run well.
