Golden Balance has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. TAISEI DIAMANT (7) resumes. Finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt five months ago. Has a formidable record at this journey with two wins and two placings from five starts. Should prove tough to beat. GOLDEN BALANCE (6) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Looking to emulate his win at Kokura Dirt at the beginning of last prep. Has found a suitable race to launch this prep in a positive manner. RED LEVENDIS (2) is a promising type who scored at his only run last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 1200m at this track. Goes well at this journey with two wins from six starts and shapes as a key runner. INDIGO AZUL (8) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
