Expect a strong tempo with Bright Beginning pressing on from an outside draw, with Sonatan nearby. DREAMING UP (15) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Chukyo Dirt, finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. This race sets up nicely so he gets his chance. SONATAN (3) is back from a break of ten weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when 14th over 1600m at this track. Keita Tosaki has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. On his best form he should be in the finish. KYOEI SE LEVE (12) finished third last time over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Nicely placed to go a couple better. SHONAN TAHTI (13) ran below expectations last time at Nakayama Dirt, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time.
