Plenty of speed runners engaged, with Nac Drops, Vagabond and Seika Fulgore prominent. TAISEI BLAZE (11) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Consistent entire with a fine record at the trip and should be right in the finish. PAUOLE (2) is a genuine five-year-old mare who resumed with a solid third last time out at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m. Bright prospects. OMEGA SYMPHONY (4) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when she was beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has a solid second-up record. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. FERN HILL (1) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten a neck into second over 1200m in Listed grade at Nakayama Dirt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Don't underestimate.
