SAMMARU SOMNIA (11) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 900m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MY DREAM GIRL (4) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 12th over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Mashima Niiya. Capable of playing a major role. SIRIUS LIGHT (8) is a 14-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at his latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. LOPPIS (5) finished 11 lengths adrift in sixth last time over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Has her share of talent and can do a lot better.
