Ares Teleios and Ecoro Ganon to take up the running at a strong tempo. VENT D'ESPERANCE (6) wasn't far away on debut last start over 2000m at Tokyo, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Sure to derive great benefit from that experience. Big chance based on that effort. ECORO GANON (10) managed to find the placings at Tokyo Dirt two starts back before finishing fourth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt last time. Going along okay and is among the leading chances. FIGHTER JET (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Fukushima over 1800m last time, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths. Finds a nice race and can make amends. MALTESE DON (9) is back after a break of three-and-a-half months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 1600m at Nakayama. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
