Reasonable tempo with Wonder Soldat probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. WONDER SOLDAT (4) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at his second outing when in the firing line on the corner, finishing a neck from the winner in second at the end of 1800m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. GUMBAI (11) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth at Nakayama over 1600m. Kept coming and worth following up. T M STAR RUN (3) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in contention on the bend over 1800m at this track, an improvement on his ninth on debut at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SABLE DIAMANT (1) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished ninth over 1800m at Kyoto. Expected to feature.
