Strong pace expected with Balsamico and Zampona pushing up from their low draws. KEY GUTS (11) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt 36 days ago. Can bounce back. SPLENDEUR (4) ran a better race last start when he did his best work late to finish a close second over 1200m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Nicely placed to find winning ways. ZAMPONA (1) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1200m at Sapporo four months ago. Has the speed to be prominent. Winning claims on best figures. CANDLEMAS (10) was beaten 2 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1150m contest at Fukushima Dirt at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
