Reasonable tempo with Captain Blue probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. PROUD PARK (3) improved last start to finish second over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed and can take a hand in the finish. CAPTAIN BLUE (7) resumes from a spell of five months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1500m at this track. Has ability and is a solid chance. SUMERAGI (5) finished out of the money when 12th over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt six-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. HAKUAI RAGAZZA (8) finished third last time over 1500m at this track. Fitter and can make her presence felt.
