|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong tempo with Missione, Hayabusa Ohimesama and A Shin Mars leading the way. Not a lot separates the top four. C'ESTBON CADESSERT (16) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. SAMMARU NOVEL (6) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. GEMITO (15) finished third last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Anticipating a big run again. MEIKEI REIN (14) made progress last start to finish second over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Likely to hold the form and is a strong contender.
