Masherbrum is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. LUCIFER (6) wasn't far off the winner latest and finally draws a gate. Ready to win and gets chance. MASHERBRUM (14) is a speedy type who has placed 2/4 on the JRA circuit. Unbeaten in four fresh-up runs. Take catching. HAKUSAN IRIS (5) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Scored over 1400m at this track at the start of last prep. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. YAMANIN ASTRON (16) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Hanshin Dirt but disappointed last time when 11th, beaten 7 lengths, at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m. Well placed and should be about the mark.
