Expecting Meisho Homare to set a strong tempo from the inside along with Appealing Look. APPEALING LOOK (10) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RECIPROCITY (7) returns from a break of ten weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. MEISHO HOMARE (1) is back at the races for the first time since February 22. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Has switched to the Ryo Takahashi yard. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MARBLE MOUNTAIN (9) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt, finishing 12th, beaten 10 lengths. Has been in the money at each second up start. Can do better than last.
