Wisteria River, Shetland and Argo Navis to take up the running at a decent tempo. TERRIFIC PLAN (2) is back at the races for the first time since July 13. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has a win and three minors from four tries fresh. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. ARGO NAVIS (6) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m last time, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths. Second-up winner and won only try course and distance. Well placed and expected to do better. VENDOME (5) returns after a spell of four months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Has a big finish and will be motoring home late. FRUOR (7) lines up for the first time since August 2. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Should be doing best work late.
