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

A solid tempo anticipated with American Call and Point Nemo ahead of Yukino Crown and G T America. A race of many chances. KOKOROZUYOSA (15) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Kyoto Dirt. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1800m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Has his share of talent. Can turn things around. POINT NEMO (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect another big run. ASK CHANCE MAN (4) returns from a spell. Finished sixth at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep 11 weeks ago. Backmarker who gets home hard. AMERICAN CALL (13) has not been sighted since he finished 12th over 1800m at this track on March 22. Lightly raced and open to plenty of improvement this prep.
