Legend and Ryuno Hinagiku should set a strong clip. SAIL FREE (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Nagoya over 1400m. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. LEGEND (5) continues to race well with a win two back at Saga before finishing one length away in second last time over 1400m at Saga. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be in the finish. LE JOUEUR (6) scored last start at Morioka Dirt to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. One of the contenders again. BLACK EMPEROR (7) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 31 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Ready to go a couple better.
