Hot tempo expected from Jasper Robusto and Gun Wolf. VENDOME (2) was safely held when sixth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. That followed a good first-up win at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. JASPER ROBUSTO (7) returns from a break of ten months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. NIGHT AQUARIUM (6) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1600m. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and should be involved in the finish. BATTLE HARDEN (9) has not appeared since he finished eighth over 1600m at Tokyo on February 16. Worth plenty of thought.
