Reasonable tempo with Taiki Indra probably leading but a few others should keep him honest. TAISEI JADE (2) has been in the market at his last couple of starts since resuming but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 1700m at this track. The testing material on his best form. GRACEFUL MARCH (4) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAIKI INDRA (7) was resuming from a spell of five months last start when a solid second over this course and distance. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Should be involved in the finish. LORD ARDITO (5) is back from a spell of nine weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1600m at Ohi. Worth plenty of thought.
