Plenty of chances. ROUGE BONITO (6) was beaten just a nose last start and landed her first top-three finish in the process over this track and trip. Has taken a while to hit form but can open her account this time. SHADOW RULER (13) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when eighth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt eight weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. JAY STREAK (3) has not appeared since she finished fifth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt on October 26. Sparingly raced filly who is sure to be competitive. G T BIKINI (14) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish 5 lengths back in fourth over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Fitter and is among the chances.
