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

A solid tempo on the cards with Snap Gigi heading them off. OTSUKA (1) went forward from a wide gate latest and just missed. Better drawn this time. Good effort last start and can build on that performance. GEISTREICH (13) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Ran very well only other fresh run. Nicely placed and expected to go well. MEISHO SASSO (5) has not been sighted since he finished eighth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt on January 11. Best figures measure up favourably. NORINO DRAGON (7) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish seventh, beaten 5 lengths, over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Sure to be winding up late.
