In the absence of noted leaders, Natural Smile and Bourgeois may be the ones to set a moderate tempo. NOEL (4) last appeared four weeks ago over 1200m at Kokura when he finished 11th. This is his first run for the Joji Tanaka stable. Plenty to like about his prospects. G T HAPPY (1) has switched yards since finishing 15th seven weeks ago over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has ability and should be right in the finish as he drops back to NAR level. ENFANT TERRIBLE (5) last appeared six weeks ago over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt when she finished 13th. This is her first run for the Tomoharu Ebesumoto stable. Worth plenty of thought in this easier race. HUSTLE ANIKI (3) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when 13th over 2000m at Fukushima. Better placed this time and can make amends.
