Pace genuine with Lord Vulcan and Sparkle Joy pressing hard closely followed by Indigo Azul and Diamond. LORD VULCAN (7) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt after being prominent at the turn. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat. INDIGO AZUL (3) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 13 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Overdue and gets chance. CANDLEMAS (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but did a good job when returning from a break last time at Kokura Dirt, finishing second and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1000m. Nice return and fitter again. Among the top chances. MEISHO GOLD (6) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt on January 4. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
