Genuine tempo with Barjeel to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. TAKERU HURLOCK (3) is long overdue having placed five of last six. An inside gate is a big advantage. Bursting to win and should go close. HRUDUDU (5) is also close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt after being in contention all the way. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. RICKEY STYLE (10) started at $2.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing tenth and beaten 7 lengths at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m. Gave away too much start latest. Well worth another chance. BARJEEL (4) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects.
