Good early pressure anticipated with a large representation of first starters. MEISHO SATONOHI (7) has put together back-to-back placings, last start finishing one length away in second over 1200m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALA MOANA (1) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability and is a solid chance. REVE DE ANGE (6) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being in contention on the bend over 1400m at this track, an improvement on her sixth at this track the run before. Making progress and can play a significant role. ASK THE AMERICAN (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of K Nonaka. By American Pharoah from Get Explicit. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves.
