RUN FEATHER (11) sets the standard after starting favourite on debut at this track and finishing second, beaten a length and a half, in a NEWCOMER over this distance. He picked up well late, has already placed at both the track and trip, and the move into Mdn company gives him a clear form edge. HO O SHU (12) resumes after four months and has the profile to improve, despite being beaten a long way when runner-up as an odds-on favourite at Sapporo Dirt on debut. His ¥176m purchase background and deep family give him genuine upside. FUJISAN INFURE (7) was a big-odds third at this venue last start, working home evenly, and his debut at Niigata also suggested he can finish his races off. PALACE RUN (14) is race fit third-up, comes through a fourth at this track when beaten just over eight lengths, and his run prior at Nakayama Dirt was sound enough to keep him in the winning mix if he can take another step.
