Saffron Hero should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. LINEA GLORIA (16) defied a lack of market support last start, scoring by 3.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Progressing nicely so despite a difficult draw he looks likely to feature. RED DUNLUCE (14) finished second at Kyoto Dirt two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, finishing 13 lengths back in tenth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back to winning form. HOLLYWOOD BLUES (1) returns after a spell of 12 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Sure to make his presence felt. SAFFRON HERO (9) finished fourth over 1400m at this track when resuming last start, beaten only 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
