Expecting Sanono American to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. CRAVING HONOR (2) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a nose away in second last time over 1400m at this track. Can return to winning form. BAL MUSETTE (6) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on June 14 2025, finishing eighth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has switched to the Shinji Kudo yard. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. KONOYORUO TOMETEYO (4) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths as public elect after being in contention on the turn over 1300m at this track. Steps up a level but she is capable of another big run. MORNING HAZE (5) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 1.1 lengths. Has a solid record at this circuit. Deserves respect.
