Solid pace with Meisho Horen finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. MEISHO HOREN (8) was thereabouts last time out when second at Kyoto Dirt over 1200m, beaten half a length. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Unbeaten course and distance and will take running down. KITANO'S EDGE (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Won only try third up. Course and distance winner ready to return to best form. JO ROLIGT (15) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Excels fresh and will take catching despite the wide draw. ALPHA MOM (5) resumed four weeks ago over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt and was only beaten 1.1 lengths into fifth. Fitter and sure to run well.
