RIN RIN RA (1) is a nine-time winner who has been performing well, scoring by half a length last time out over 1000m at this track. Races well here and is ready to repeat the dose. THE ARION (7) ran an improved race second up last start to finish in the placings over 1000m at this track, beaten half a length. Has never missed the frame when third-up from a break so he is among the leading chances. ALARIDO (9) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when sixth over 1500m at this track. Faces an easier assignment so he will prove hard to beat. MISTER HIRABOKU (3) is fitter for two runs back from a break. Turned in a better effort last time when fifth over 1000m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Must be respected.
