Katsuno Tenth, Lateral Palm and Moon Blanche can set a genuine tempo. AMBASSADE NEIGE (10) returns from a spell of ten weeks and did win first-up last time in work over 1200m at this track. Comes to hand quickly so a bold showing is expected. SHONAN TAHTI (14) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Placed three of last four. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. CHOCOLAT CUIT (11) has not appeared since he won over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt on May 9. Definite winning hope. LATERAL PALM (8) finished 14th over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt at his most recent appearance on May 9. Has to be respected.
