Win Ardore should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. CURREN WHAT'S UP (12) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Comes here with definite claims. GOVERNARE RICCO (8) returned from a break and was on dirt for the first time when unplaced over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, 5 lengths from the winner. Will take a lot from that first run on this surface and is among the leading chances. JUSTIN GULF (9) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in ninth over 1800m at Fukushima. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SATONO LUXON (6) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Should park just off the speed. Deserves respect on best figures.
