Reasonable tempo with Natural Smile probably leading but a few others should keep her honest. BONJOUR ZEN (11) has switched yards since finishing 11th six weeks ago over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Expected to feature on best form. MUTABILIS (3) last appeared six weeks ago over 1800m at Nakayama when she finished 11th. This is her first run for the Tatsuya Nakanishi stable. Rates highly so expect her to be prominent. KONIG BLUT (8) has missed the frame at his last couple of runs, the latest when he drifted back and finished 12 lengths away in ninth at Nakayama. Expected to feature back in this class. BELLE VIOLETTE (6) hasn't featured at her last two runs, the latest when 25 lengths away in 12th at Kokura Dirt. Easier assignment this time so don't underestimate.
