Fire Whip should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. REALIZE CAMION (8) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed last prep with a sixth, beaten 1.2 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Bolted in on debut at the same track at the only other appearance. Likely to be in the finish. GRACEFUL MARCH (1) fought on for third last start over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, making it two minor placings in a row. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. TAMAMO JASMINE (3) is on a quick turnaround after a moderate tenth over 1700m at this track six days ago. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. LA LA EQUILIBRE (10) was too good for a maiden field last start over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt, scoring by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement.
