KYOEI FREUDE (4) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten a neck into second over 1600m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Will prove tough to beat with the help of a favourable draw. PAI SHAOBING (3) is racing well without winning. Last start finished fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt nine weeks ago. Good fresh performer who must be respected. FEEL AWESOME (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 2.5 lengths away in second over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Beautifully placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. CARA DE MADRE (15) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten comfortably. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time.
