Solid tempo with Ballsy possessing enough dash to find the front. KITANO OCTOPUS (1) stuck on well last start to finish second over 1400m at this track after showing good early speed. Likely improver with bright prospects. OCEA DYNASTY (6) finished 15th when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in contention on the turn to score by 7 lengths as favourite over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SHAMAN'S CAVE (11) resumes from a spell of ten weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Mamoru Tanaka. Finished tenth at Ohi over 1800m at the opening run last time in work. Worth plenty of thought on an each-way basis. PERSISTENCE (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
