They look to roll along early with Yuino Machibuse and Val D'orcia leading the charge. VANARGAND (2) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 29 March, finishing eighth and beaten 11 lengths over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Commendable record at this trip with a win and four minor placings and is one of the better hopes. PIXILATION (4) made good progress second-up from a break and at her first try on a dirt track when third at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m. Looked at home on this surface and will be hard to beat this time. VAL D'ORCIA (8) returns after almost a year on the sidelines. Goes well when fresh and the best figures compare well so he is right in contention. CANNELLE (9) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish seventh, beaten 4 lengths, over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Must be included.
