Plenty of early pace with Aulos and Buber to vie for the lead, pressured by Alta Vista and Lunavis. AULOS (6) was on a winning run of two races but last time out finished second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Can find winning form again. LUNAVIS (11) lifted strongly to salute by half a length three runs back at Chukyo Dirt before filling a minor placing at her last two starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. METEOR LIGHT (12) finished third last time over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 2.5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a big run will not surprise. OSHIGE (15) ran below expectations last time at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m, finishing fourth and beaten 2 lengths. Goes well at this trip, recording five minor placings and deserves respect.
