|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Solid tempo with several going forward headed by Mr Tonton. MR TONTON (8) returned last time with a solid second at Fukushima Dirt over 1150m after being prominent at the bend. Ready to go one better. MIESTA (11) has not been sighted since she finished fourth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt on May 24. Has the right credentials. CALCULUS (6) is resuming from a spell of nine weeks and having her first run for the Hiroki Koga yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m. One of the genuine hopes in the race. HANNA PEARL (15) has not raced since she finished sixth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt on May 24. One of the leading contenders.
