Expecting Lance Of Sihr to set a genuine tempo after crossing from wide out. LANCE OF SIHR (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Chukyo Dirt over 1200m after being in the firing line all the way. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Finds a suitable race and can build on solid recent efforts. VENDAVAL (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ENOUGH SAID (13) finished 0.9 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt, an improvement on his fifth at Kokura Dirt the run before. Right in contention again. MARGOT REVE (10) has been in the market at her last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing seventh over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Can sneak into the finish.
