Santo Monarca should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep him honest. CAMPIDOGLIO (11) is a promising galloper who saluted at his only run last prep 11 months ago over 1800m at this track. Lightly raced but has big upside. Go close. EIYU FIRE (3) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing third and beaten only 2.25 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. G T AMERICA (13) should be at his top after three runs this prep, the latest a second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt three weeks ago. Should park just off the speed. One to consider. HO O BAROLO (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Best figures measure up nicely. Can play a significant role.
