Good early pace from Luxe Steel, Meisho Cougar and Hammaguir going forward to hold out some other speedy customers. MEISHO COUGAR (8) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Yuji Nakai has been in the money at the last six rides. Leading contender. CONTAINER JUNIOR (10) met with solid support last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt when fifth, beaten 6 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. LUXE STEEL (15) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt after he was in the firing line on the turn. Cherry-ripe now and will be tough to beat. FLIPPER (1) returns from a spell of four months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when seventh over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Makes plenty of appeal.
