Expecting Gizakiz Luv to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. Lots of these making up the numbers. SAMIDARE KNIGHTS (3) returns from a layoff of 11 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2200m at Chukyo. Drawn for a soft run and has a big finish. Hard to hold out late. ERIKA ENDIVE (12) returned from a spell five weeks ago when she was beaten 8 lengths into eighth over 2400m at Hanshin. Course and distance winner and has placed second-up. Strips fitter and can play a major role. DELUSION (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 8 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CARMELTAZITE (5) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on February 15, finishing 13th and beaten 24 lengths over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Backmarker who keeps coming. Sure to be competitive.
