STEEL VOGUE (3) finished third as favourite last time out over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, making it three minor placings from four starts this time in work. Jumps from a low gate so will be tough to beat. SEIUN YAOYOROZU (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 8 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TRUSTIA (13) started favourite at the last run before a break but could only manage third at Nakayama Dirt. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. SNOW LANCE (10) has been in the money five times including first-up last start on July 25 when third over 1200m at this track. Has recorded two top-three finishes from three runs at this venue. Among the fringe hopes.
