Loads of pressure, primarily from Shetland, Meiner Carlyle and Ungaisoten. TERRIFIC PLAN (13) found a couple better when resuming last start at Kyoto Dirt over this distance. Has found the frame in all four starts at this journey, including two wins. Should be poised just off the lead and give a great sight. KOTOHODO SAYONI (6) returns from a layoff of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has found a suitable race to launch this prep. UNGAISOTEN (10) went to the paddock after scoring at his last appearance six-and-a-half months ago over 1800m at this track. Definite top-three chance. LOGI ADELAIDE (7) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Anticipating another strong effort.
