Strong pace with Malty Flavor and Tomo Sakae crossing from wide out. G T ESPI (13) has Yuji Tannai going aboard after he was well held last time out in sixth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Should park just off the speed. Best form is this course and distance. Likely to feature. VIRGIL (2) last appeared when fifth over 1400m at Kyoto three months ago. Now under the care of new trainer Kensuke Ogura. Has won fresh. Sure to make his presence felt. YAMANIN LESEDI (8) turned in a solid run when resuming last start over this course and distance, finishing third and beaten only one length. Among the winning hopes. LE PAVILLON (1) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into tenth over 1400m at Chukyo. Fitter so can feature in the finish.
