TURQUOISE FRINGE (4) is having his first run since June 1. Has a very good fresh record, scoring twice including one over 1600m at this track at the start of last prep. Can return in winning form once again. VENDOME (10) did well when resuming over 1600m at this track last start, finishing second and beaten 1.3 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Among the winning hopes. BENNU (7) is back at the races for the first time since November 16. Scored over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt at the start of last prep, maintaining an unbeaten first-up record from three runs. Has found the right race and is worth including. MEISHO HACHIRO (5) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep three months ago when he scored by 2 lengths. Goes well at this distance with two wins and a placing from four starts and cannot be underestimated.
