|---|---|---|---|---|

King's Tale and Joker have the pace to vie for the lead from their wide draws. Lots of these close to wins. MOZU PLUS FORT (9) is back after a break of three months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at his latest appearance over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Ready for a bold run. SESSHU (2) finished third, beaten 8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. KING'S TALE (15) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at Kokura Dirt over 1700m. Yamato Tsunoda stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Has winning claims on best figures. JOKER (14) finished third first-up at Kokura Dirt then couldn't repeat the dose last time when fourth at this track over 1400m when beaten 10 lengths. Should be poised just off the speed despite the draw. Has ability and definitely worth including.
