SUCCEED CITY (10) is the one to beat on the strength of a debut where he was near the top of an open market in a NEWCOMER at Nakayama Dirt, even though seventh and beaten over 11 lengths. The class drop gives him a clear platform to improve and his profile has more upside than the bare result suggests. ECORO GOD (2) brings the most concrete 1600m form, having run third at this track on debut when beaten four and a half lengths at long odds, and he looks a major danger with that experience banked. MAJOR SINGER (13) resumes after a four-month break but was respected in betting before finishing fifth in a Fukushima Dirt NEWCOMER, working home evenly behind Conte Mur. COPERNICUS (4) was safely held on debut at this venue, yet the weight relief and class drop make him a genuine improver if he handles 1600m for the first time.
