Reasonable tempo with Ultra No Hoshi probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. ULTRA NO HOSHI (7) is having his first run since May 26, 2024. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from three starts, the latest over 1800m at Saga at the start of last prep. Could be tough to beat. DAGR FORCE (8) was well in the market last time and made it two minor placings from as many runs this prep when third over 1700m at this track. Fitter and should go well. TAISEI SAMSON (6) has switched yards since finishing 13th a month ago over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Well-placed and is among the chances here in easier. BELLWOOD GRASS (9) has two placings from three runs this preparation. Latest effort was a sixth over 1800m at this track. Can bounce back.
