Nishino Morimichi has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. NOW OR NEVER (7) is a 10-start maiden who almost broke the ice last time out when a close second over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after being prominent at the bend. Great chance to score in this small field. NISHINO MORIMICHI (6) was in the money two starts back at Nakayama Dirt then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1800m at the same venue. Key runner who can get off the mark this time. QUAD FORZA (8) is yet to break through in seven runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt on April 4. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. I'M STILL ME (1) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing fifth last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt eight weeks ago. Better than last start and is a chance in this line up.
