Next To You should have enough pace to lead a low-pressure contest. PINK SOUTHPAW (2) is on the quick back up after a bold victory at this track only 6 days ago, leading throughout for a 5 length success. Leading contender. NISHINO GORGEOUS (8) improved last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Can give this a shake. BONS SOUVENIRS (6) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1300m at this track. Expected to be in the mix. NEXT TO YOU (4) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at Monbetsu. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Moriyuki Yorimoto. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
