Despite the wide draw Telikos has the dash to cross and lead a low-pressure contest. PIKO OVAL (10) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt after being prominent at the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run at the third run back from a break. MEISHO HITAKAMI (4) turned in a nice run last time to finish third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. More improvement to come so keep him in mind. KEN FIELD (8) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out without surprising. TELIKOS (12) has not raced since his debut on January 24 over 1800m at this track when he finished sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Should take a lot from that experience.
