The speedy trio of Lux Frontier, Ho O Fujin and Kitasan Doshin can press on from their wide gates. Grade 3 placegetter LUX FRONTIER (12) turned in a nice run last time to finish second over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt after being in the firing line on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MAPLE RIDGE (13) is back at the races for the first time since November 18. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2100m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. MAONO ARASHI (6) is a promising type who scored at his only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Shapes as one to consider. HAGINO SUSTAINABLE (7) scored last start at Hanshin Dirt to make it two wins and two placings from four starts this campaign. Solid claims on recent form.
