TIMELESS LOVE (3) has the best recent winning profile after charging home to score over this track and distance, and the fact Kenta Sugiura stays aboard adds to the confidence. She beat several familiar names there and her earlier fifth behind Haste was sound enough to suggest the win was no fluke. HIGH TEA (9) brings a different form line from Sapporo Dirt, where she was well found two back before finishing sixth last time, and the class drop gives her a genuine winning platform. KEIAI BLACK (10) resumed with a clear second at this track and has scope to hold that level second-up, though he is still a maiden after 11 starts. HAGINO GIFTED (7) was close up when third first-up and has place appeal again, with the untried 1230m trip the point he has to answer.
