COME TRUE (2) sets the standard after placing third on debut at Kyoto Dirt, where he worked home evenly despite starting at big odds and was beaten just under four lengths by Meister Shoes. The move from NEWCOMER grade into a Mdn, combined with that race experience, gives him the most reliable winning profile. ECORO MAJOR (6) is the chief danger, resuming after back-to-back placings at Fukushima Dirt and Chukyo Dirt, including a second over this distance when well respected in an open market. AIDAN BAROWS (4) has not finished closer than fourth from two runs, but his Chukyo debut as favourite reads well enough for this if the freshening has sharpened him. BEE TELEOS (13) resumes from a debut fourth at this track, where she was right there before fading, and improvement from that first race-day experience brings her into the winning mix.
