|---|---|---|---|---|

Solid tempo anticipated with Dual Career heading them off. SEI GEN (10) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt when he finished 11th. This is his first run for the Nozomi Ono stable. Expected to feature on best form. WILD LOVE (6) is back from a break of five months. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1000m at this track. Has switched to the Hiroto Kawashima stable. Should be hard to stop. WIN STRATEGY (3) finished fourth at this track and distance at his last appearance five months ago. One to consider. DUAL CAREER (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when fifth. Worth plenty of thought.
