Expecting Poulsen to take up the running with Keiai Anira and Lord Award close at hand. BERGERONNETTE (3) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second in the Listed Ritto Stakes at Kyoto Dirt over 1400m after he came with a powerful finish. Looks well placed in this company so expect another big run. LUX SPEI (14) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1400m in the Ritto at Kyoto Dirt. Sure to be tough to hold out in this race with less depth. RAFALE (12) came from well back on cornering and hit the line strongly to score over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt last time out. Reunites with Mirai Iwata who has three wins from five rides. Has winning claims on best figures. NOBLE ROGER (11) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
