Yuino Machibuse to take charge ahead of Eifer Glove at a good tempo. GOD ESPADA (2) is back after a break of four months. Looking to emulate his win at Nakayama Dirt at the beginning of last prep. Looks a winning chance. VANARGAND (5) resumed last time out and finished second over 1800m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Ready to run well. SLAZAK (8) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt on May 10. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. CANNELLE (10) was beaten 6 lengths into fifth in a 1800m contest at this track last time out. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
