The speedy trio Nitto Raijin, Royal Dance and Mon Etoile can set the pace from the outset. GRAND CULLINAN (3) was last at the races when he finished fourth over 1600m at Tokyo on February 11. Form over similar trips to this is strong. Capable of playing a major role. HIDDEN KING (2) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1700m at this track. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. NIHONPIRO HARBOR (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth after being prominent at the turn. Very fit now and can take this out. T UP LEON (8) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 30 when beaten 2 lengths into fifth at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m after racing in the leading division. Each-way chance.
