Plenty of runners but a dawdling affair is on the cards. OTOKONO ROMAN (9) is a four-start maiden who could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. FIRE SALAMANDER (4) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing sixth. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. V MONSTER (1) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m here. Well placed and won't get a better chance to break through. ELBRUS SEIRA (3) missed the placings last start when 11th over 1400m at this track. Likely improver.
