Jesse Tesoro is expected to burn across and lead from the wide alley. AMERICAN CHIEF (6) last appeared when he finished sixth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt on January 31. Long time since a win but has won fresh and at the track and distance. Bold performance expected. OKEN SILVER (13) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 23 starts. Was again denied last start when he found a couple better over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Likely contender with strong prospects. MAVERICK CITY (3) fought on well for third last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, making it two minor placings in a row. Draws nicely and expected to go well again. MISTY MOUNTAIN (7) produced a better run last start, beaten 7 lengths into sixth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
