Strong tempo, primarily from Takaneno Hanakosan and Z Yell. Z YELL (3) is back from a three-and-a-half months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt at the start of last prep. Lightly raced galloper who has racked up three wins and three minors since an unplaced debut. Course and distance winner who looks a top chance. ANZU AME (10) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt after being in contention all the way. Settles close to the speed. Nicely placed to find winning ways. NOBORI SHORYU (13) was back from a spell last start and finished fourth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Overall record is sound when second-up and has plenty of upside with the run under his belt. Can feature with the right run. BODY BLOW (12) bounced off an NAR win two back to run on well to score here last time. This tougher but worth thought again.
