Solid tempo with Mr D J to lead but under plenty of pressure in a keen early contest. MORNINGTON LINE (3) finished third as favourite last time out over 1200m at this track, making it three minor placings from three career starts. Should enjoy a nice run so gets his chance to break through. EYES (7) finished second, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MR D J (4) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 5 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. VITAL PEACE (1) is on debut. By Pivotal and is out of the Takashi Suzuki stable. Good draw a big help. Monitor market moves.
