Genuine pace with Sarasa Emperor finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. SARASA EMPEROR (10) produced a reasonable effort when seventh last start after being prominent at the bend over 1400m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. TAKKA VALIANT (4) finished eighth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt at his most recent appearance on September 13. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Juichi Tajima. Looks a winning chance. EXCEL BOBBY (5) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by one length over 1400m here last time. Takayuki Yano has been the pilot at his last three wins. Certainly one to consider. RUNNING HOT (1) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a head away in third over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
