|---|---|---|---|---|

Plenty of speed with Jack Pearl, Ruler Of Dirt and Karen Tact leading Yapushi and Gentle Touch. KAREN TACT (2) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when she was handy all the way over 1600m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SHIMIZU MINATO (14) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1600m, beaten a neck. Should be at his peak now. Has been in the money at all three starts this preparation, including a win. Expected to feature. RASIEL (7) finished fourth over 1400m at Urawa at her most recent appearance on July 21. One to consider. RULER OF DIRT (6) is a last-start winner over 1600m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by a neck. Sure to be thereabouts.
