Looks a race in two. PIENA ORCA (12) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 8 lengths at Kokura Dirt over 1700m. Should dictate terms and he will be at a short quote to make it successive wins. The only logical threat is ON THE MOVIE (7) who was too good for a maiden field last start over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, scoring by a nose. Kazuo Yokoyama was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Open to plenty of improvement. FUN TIME GIFT (10) made progress last time out, finishing 5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can fill a top three spot. GENEROUS KING (5) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish seventh, beaten 5 lengths, over this journey at Fukushima Dirt. One to watch for in the closing stages.
