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

Hot pace certain with Aile Richelieu, Svarna Paksa and Star Closer keen to take up the running. SVARNA PAKSA (4) went fast early over 1750m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 4 lengths. Should be prominent again from the low draw. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. AILE RICHELIEU (1) displayed plenty of early toe over 900m at this track last time and went on to score by 1.5 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. EDEN TESORO (3) last appeared when he finished 12th over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt on November 9. Has switched to the Shinichi Higashi stable. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. FUKU FANTASY (2) finished 10 lengths adrift in ninth last time over 1300m at this track in a disappointing performance. Open to improvement and should be about the money.
