Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Daddy's Goo Goo. POD RIPPLE (10) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MIGHTY KINGDOM (15) is back at the races for the first time since May 2. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Chukyo. Looks a winning chance. LOVE IN ACTION (2) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Ready to go one better. HARD THINGS (3) was last at the races when he finished sixth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt on May 9. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
