Strong tempo with Ingram, Meisho Hodawara and Vitamin Drop leading the way. INGRAM (3) started at $2.40 last time but could only manage fifth, beaten 3 lengths, at Hakodate Dirt over 1000m. Rui Funayama stays aboard. Speedy type drawn low and will take catching. VITAMIN DROP (8) started at $3 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 5 lengths, at this track over 1000m. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Leading contender. YODONO GOLD (10) wound up strongly last time out to finish a neck adrift in second over 1000m at this track. Among the better chances. LATERAL PALM (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths. Fitter so expect a better run this time.
