Looks to be plenty of pace with My Color and Ultra Heart battling for the lead. ULTRA HEART (11) is ready to break through after collecting his 4th minor placing in a row last time over 1800m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Should camp just off the leaders. Gets chance. MY COLOR (5) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 2000m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Big chance coming back in trip. JUSTIN GOGH (1) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished 11th over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Among the chances while fresh. BORN TO WARRIOR (15) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Yutaka Okumura. By Sinister Minister from Valois. Top-three chance.
