WIN BEGINNING (14) went forward last start and gave a great sight when second over 1600m at this track, making it six minor placings from seven starts. Lane should boot up from the wide draw. Expect he will break through this time. NUCLEOTIDE (1) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Good effort to open last prep when in the money at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m. Set for a bold return. PURIPURI PUDDING (16) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw but another top-three finish is on the cards. I DARE YOU (8) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw and led until straightening before finishing fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt last time out. Deserves respect. The rest look no hope.
