HANG ROSE (12) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when third over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ECORO SERENA (4) is yet to break through after 11 starts but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time over 1000m at Hakodate Dirt. Should be parked just off the speed. Overdue and expected to go very well. TELEOS RAY (8) stepped out for her debut over 1600m at Niigata back on August 3 2025 and finished sixth, beaten 8 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. JORVIK (3) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish 15th at the latest run over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
