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

Plenty of speed from Aoi Mimosa and T O Legacy. RHINO (8) went forward when resuming last start and proved too strong, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Must raise the bar but another big run is on the cards. ALANA KOA (11) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 23 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1800m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. SHOW DANCER (3) has been freshened up since a disappointing fourth four weeks ago over 1800m at this track. Good record at this journey with two wins and four minor placings from nine starts and is expected to be competitive. MATENRO BRAVE (13) was beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth at the second run back from a break over 1700m at Kokura Dirt at his latest appearance. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
