Off the low draw Shin Believe is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. SHIN BELIEVE (2) was racing well without winning, placing two on end before finishing fourth last time out over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has a high cruising speed. Placed 2/2 here and is overdue for a win. Take catching. PENNA VELOCE (13) finished 7 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt eight weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Super consistent record this trip. Can turn things around. BAKKEN RECORD (10) dropped out from the rails draw before closing late to finish fifth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt last start. Outsprinted in the run home but kept coming and looks suited by the extra ground. Won only try course and distance. Can do much better. ONE PUTT (9) worked home well and finished second last time over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. The engagement of Keisuke Dazai is a positive move. Likely improver with strong prospects.
