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

Genuine tempo with the speedy Long Way Home leading the way. LONG WAY HOME (7) is back after a break of 12 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has ability and can get off the mark. PIKO SEA (10) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished seventh over 1800m at Nakayama. Has ability and is a solid chance. PURUSHAPURA (9) returns after three-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1600m at this track. Strong winning chance on best figures. NISHINO BENITOITE (8) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1600m at this track. Has upside and must be respected.
