Plenty of pace with Real Pegasus and Porte D'or up front, pressured by Aaron Imeru and Mozu Bandit. ALANA KOA (7) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1800m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DANON K TWO (1) closed last prep nine weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt. Race sets up well for him. AARON IMERU (6) made a nice return two back then met with solid backing but disappointed when fifth over 1800m at this track three weeks ago. Rates highly and is right in the mix. O SHIN HALF (12) held on well to finish second when first-up from a break last time out over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after leading for much of the way. Worth including.
