Strong tempo primarily from Lord Eclair, Shillong and T M Listed over Conquista and Ridill. SUNRISE FLAME (13) missed the frame when resuming from a break last time out, finishing fourth and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m in the G3 Negishi Stakes at Tokyo Dirt. Is yet to be beaten when second-up from a spell from three starts and should be better for that first-up run. The testing material. CONQUISTA (9) finished second when resuming two runs back at Chukyo Dirt then progressed nicely last time out to score by half a length as public elect over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Facing a tougher assignment but he is good enough to figure in the finish. RIDILL (16) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.5 lengths to spare over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, making it two in a row. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One to consider. T M LISTED (11) put the writing on the wall last time when a close second in stakes class at this track over 1400m. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Should give backers a sight.
