DANON VESTAL (5) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m on March 7. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should be a bit too good for these. FALCON MINORU (9) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 21 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Placed to advantage and looks the only realistic danger. SONATAN (6) was mediocre last start when seventh over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Not much depth outside the top pair so he has strong top three prospects. ZARATAN (7) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 4.5 lengths into eighth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Fitter so a likely improver.
