|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo anticipated with Curiosidad and Barnsbury matching motors. ITO (12) resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 1600m at this track, making good late inroads. In the money at his only other second-up run. Nicely placed to play a major role. FAIR GO (16) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Lightly raced colt who can improve enough to trouble this field. ABARE RYU (15) was unwanted in betting on debut last start but ran a strong race, finishing third and beaten 5 lengths over 1600m at this track. Improver with a solid top-three chance. BARNSBURY (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was beaten 6 lengths into tenth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
