The pace should be on from the outset with Jasper Robusto, Make A Leap and Gulden Draak pushing on from their low draws. JASPER ROBUSTO (7) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 1.3 lengths over today's trip at Fukushima Dirt. Is yet to miss the frame in two starts over this course and distance. Expected to measure up. GULDEN DRAAK (5) was unwanted in betting last time but scored by 4 lengths over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Likely to go forward from a nice draw. Big chance again. MOZU MIGIKATAAGARI (9) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be competitive. MAKE A LEAP (3) went forward from the low draw last time and stalked the lead before fading to finish 16th over 1900m in the G3 Heian Stakes at Kyoto Dirt. Miyuki who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Fitter and should play a role in the finish.
