Alpha Zeus, Digest and Ruler Of Dirt can set the pace. KITASAN SHIDEN (3) last raced when successful by half a length over 1800m at this track five months ago. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. DIGEST (1) finished third when resuming two runs back at this track then progressed nicely last time out to score by 3 lengths at this course and distance. Going up a level this time but he is good enough to play a major role. YOSHIHIRO (6) lines up for the first time since August 28. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Urawa. Looks a strong top-three prospect. RULER OF DIRT (14) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1500m at Urawa before boxing on to finish fourth. Worth including.
