Curren Pump It Up and On The Noir possess good early speed and will set a genuine tempo. BATTLE AX (12) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of ten weeks and looking to emulate his win at Hanshin Dirt to kick off the last campaign. Looks set to run well. PEPTIDE LEON (14) had a bit on his rivals when resuming last time out, scoring an impressive 5 lengths maiden win over 1400m at this track. Re-unites with Takeshi Yokoyama who was on board last start. Capable of making it two on the trot. REALIZE BRIGHT (8) is back from a spell of 12 weeks. Closed last prep with a seventh, beaten 7 lengths, over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. One of the main contenders. CURREN PUMP IT UP (6) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer Osamu Hirata. Finished fifth at Sonoda over 1400m at the opening run last time in work.
