Solid tempo likely from Toller and Philip. RAFALE (15) scored an impressive win by 3.5 lengths when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Course and distance winner at only try and loves the trip. Sure to go well again. DAISHIN LINK (11) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Overdue and likely to feature. ASK I'LL BE THERE (4) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 2.75 lengths. Ryusei Sakai gets the best out of this five-year-old entire. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. KALPA (5) is back from a break of 11 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fifth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Definite top-three chance.
