Happy Lion and Petrichor will press forward, with a couple of the debutants also pressing forward. PETRICHOR (16) was prominent in running on debut 12 weeks ago and battled on well for second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has not been produced since. Tricky draw to overcome but should be in the finish again. THE TIME HAS COME (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 7 lengths into 12th over 2000m at Chukyo. Strips fitter and can feature. ROUGE EPIC (3) faced the starter for the first time and finished fourth last start at this track over 1800m, beaten 2.75 lengths. Open to improvement and can play a significant role. BRIGHT BERYL (7) is on debut. By Uncle Mo and comes from the Mitsumasa Nakauchida stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
