Good pace expected with Wonder Visible, Hakushin Brian and Uwain paving the way. SEVEN MEISTER (14) returns from a spell. Hasn't won for a long while but rates very well this line-up. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Has a win and four minor placings at this journey from seven starts and gets chance. OEUF D'OEUF (9) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 10 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 1.5 lengths. The engagement of Hironobu Tanabe is a positive move. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run. HAKUSHIN BRIAN (15) finished second last time over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. NOAH VIVACE (12) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m last time, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Even fitter and is an excellent winning chance.
