Strong pace from Fleur Sienne and Frontiere pushing forward, along with Mighty Kingdom. ROUGE BALLON (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at Kyoto Dirt then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 1400m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Working up to another win. Best form is this trip. Worth following. SWITCH IN LOVE (13) showed good early dash and raced on the speed at the first run back from a break last start before fading to finish 3 lengths back in sixth over 1400m at this track. Sure to give a great sight. VIRGIL (12) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Hanshin over 1200m on June 13. Definite top-three chance. MIGHTY KINGDOM (14) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 20 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
