CRIMSON LEAF (7) is a 10-start maiden who has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1800m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Likely to feature. TORNADO ISLE (8) was well fancied but below his best at the last run before a break on June 20, finishing sixth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Starts this prep with Yuichi Kitamura taking charge. Can take this out while fresh.

Hard to beat in this suitable race. CHARMED WING (1)was well fancied on debut but didn't finish the race at NIIGATA August 24 over 2000m. Resumes a gelding and given another chance.
