Genuine tempo from Fifties leading Candelaria. KITASAN SHIDEN (10) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1600m at this track. Well placed to make a big impression. SELECTIO (2) is returning from a spell of 12 weeks. Finished 11th at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Yasuto Mori. Worth serious consideration. MAGIC WORDS (1) found the line nicely to grab third last time out over 1800m at this track. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. FIFTIES (8) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when a nose away in second over 1800m at this track. Hard to leave out.
