Keen exchange with Jasper Robusto likely to hold the lead off the inside draw with Revontulet and Mozu Migikataagari pressuring. JASPER ROBUSTO (1) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Nicely placed to take this out. REVONTULET (4) is having his first run since May 24. Goes very well when fresh with two wins from three starts, the latest over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt at the start of last prep. Likely to take beating. GEORGE TESORO (8) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was beaten 17 lengths into 12th over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Has a very strong second up record. Fitter so expect a better run this time. MOZU MIGIKATAAGARI (3) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 2.25 lengths at her most recent appearance when fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Should be prominent from the low draw. One of the better hopes.
