They look to roll along early with La Familia and Toa Kerkyra leading the charge. LAST LEGACY (10) had a run over the jumps two back but eye-catching return on the flat this time in. Fitter and looks a strong winning chance.TOA KERKYRA (4) returned from a spell seven weeks ago when he was in contention on the corner before being beaten 8 lengths into 11th over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. That was a hot form race. Fitter and sure to run well. LA FAMILIA (5) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 17 lengths into eighth over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Should settle handy in the run. Should be involved in the finish. COSMO SERBET (8) finished second at Funabashi two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, finishing 4.5 lengths back in seventh. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
