American Ism to set a strong tempo booting up on the fence underneath Yuto The Innocent and Couronne Sien. AMERICAN ISM (1) returns from a 12-week break. Raced just once last prep and finished second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Has the advantage on the inside gate. Can make a winning return. COURONNE SIEN (12) continues to improve and should be at his peak now after finishing in the money at this track over 1800m last time after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MATENRO HOUR (7) was below his best last time, finishing seventh and beaten 14 lengths over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Better than that and is worth another chance. KAFUJI MIMOLETTE (6) finished 7 lengths from the winner in sixth after being in contention on the corner at her most recent appearance over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Likely to be thereabouts.
