Certain to be a strong tempo with Shakashakashii, American March and Ashaka Taka leading the charge. SHAKASHAKASHII (4) is having his first run since February 1. Goes very well when fresh - has not been out of the money in three first-up runs and did win over 1150m at this track at the start of last prep. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. AMERICAN MARCH (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. SECRET VOW (9) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran fourth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt on March 1. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. One to consider. ECORO ARES (8) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 22/12/2024, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. One to consider.
