Genuine tempo from Beng Mealea leading Matenro Kanaloa. MATENRO KANALOA (15) was in the money first up then met with strong support last time but could only manage fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Capable of a return to form. CALF KICK (14) comes here off a break of four months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Placed only try course and distance. Looks a key runner. RED BELLE DANSE (7) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was beaten 2.5 lengths into eighth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Strips fitter and can find winning ways. CHIGIRI (6) finished fourth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt at her most recent appearance on February 7. Sure to make her presence felt.
