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

Expecting Lizard Island to take up the running with Raijimmaru and Nishino Blazest close at hand. LIZARD ISLAND (6) was pretty plain when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 12 lengths after being in contention on the turn. It doesn't get any easier but with added fitness he is good enough to stage a big form reversal. OLIVE GREEN (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Chukyo Dirt. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is worth serious consideration. PIKO SEA (11) resumes in a similar race to his last run 12 weeks ago when fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths. Sure to make his presence felt. NISHINO BLAZEST (9) ran below his best last start when beaten 10 lengths into 11th from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to give backers a sight.
