Slick pace with Mr Bobby finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. BLUE COMING (15) is yet to break through after four career starts. Could only manage to finish fourth last time out over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt following a minor placing at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m the run prior. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. NARUSA (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt three weeks ago after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MATENRO ATLAS (11) is back after a break of five-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished sixth over 2000m at Kyoto. Nicely placed and can get off the mark. OBSIDIANA (8) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished fifth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Rates highly on best form and a bright return wouldn't surprise.
