|---|---|---|---|---|

Pure Cian and Lux Frontier have good gate speed and can pave the way. REVONTULET (16) showed good early dash and led throughout to score by half a length when resuming last time out over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Building a formidable record and is the one to beat again. SAKURA TOP REAL (2) lines up for the first time since February 22. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at this track. Looks a winning chance. LUX FRONTIER (13) went to the paddock after scoring at his only appearance last prep nine weeks ago over 2000m in Listed grade at Hanshin Dirt. Has a high cruising speed. Capable of testing this field. ASSURBANIPAL (9) is back from a break of four months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when tenth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Good fresh performer who must be respected.
