Plenty of early pressure with T O Ricardo, Outrange and Sunday Funday leading the charge. OUTRANGE (3) scored an impressive win by 3 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Unbeaten in two starts when second-up and looks sure to be in the finish again. T O RICARDO (7) finished second behind T O Drefong at Chukyo Dirt over this distance at his latest outing. Form here is strong with two wins from four starts. Sure to play a big role. SUNDAY FUNDAY (9) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Sure to make his presence felt. Z LIEN (15) is back from a spell of ten weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1900m at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
