Pistol Star and Belle Fine to roll forward and dictate the tempo. BAY RUM (4) last appeared when he finished fourth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt on April 26. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. PISTOL STAR (3) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by one length over this journey at Hakodate Dirt after stalking the lead. Will go forward and should be in the finish again. LIETAMENTE (2) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time when beaten a neck into second over 2400m at Hakodate Dirt. Can feature in the finish. BIG BELUGA (8) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Hakodate Dirt over 2400m. Nicely placed to turn things around.
