Strong pace with Du Maverick, High Quality and Reflex pushing forward, closely attended by Cockpit Sight and Gempachi Luna. DU MAVERICK (9) lines up for the first time since April 19. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has switched to the Masahiro Otake stable. Should be hard to stop. LAST LEGACY (2) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second at this track two starts back then scored by 3 lengths as public elect last time out over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. REFLEX (3) is a speedy colt who was a winner first up at Tokyo Dirt eight weeks ago. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. One of the main contenders. HIGH QUALITY (1) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1800m at Niigata Dirt seven weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
