The top four look to have it between them. JA NALIA (11) went forward last start over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt and held on well for second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Building a long sequence of top four finishes but today might be his day. KURIKO FALCON (8) is poised to win after placing at his last three outings, most recently when third over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. RHEIN METEORA (10) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in second over 1200m at this track. Going well enough to feature in the finish. SUNRISE ROY (6) was in the money two starts back at Fukushima Dirt then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature with the right run.
