TORNADO ISLE (11) has been in the money five times including last start on May 9 when third over 1600m at this track. Yet to miss the top-three in two runs at this course. Expected to go close. STEEL VOGUE (7) was prominent on the corner and battled on well to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths when resuming. Placed 4/4 so far including 3/3 course and distance. Leading chance with plenty of upside. COPANO EIDAN (9) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fifth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Opened last prep with a minor placing at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. TAKKA VAN BAN (3) turned in another moderate effort last start when 15 lengths from the winner in tenth over 2000m at Nakayama. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
