Expecting American Bar to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. LORD ARDITO (3) finished fourth last time out over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt, beaten 1.4 lengths. Fitter and should appreciate the step up to 1800m. Hard to beat. RED FRASER (7) had a bit on his rivals last time out, scoring an impressive 4 lengths maiden win over 1800m at this track. Ryusei Sakai was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Capable of making it two on the trot. AMERICAN BAR (4) is back after a break of a year. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Can make his presence felt. AIR FORCE ONE (10) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a fourth over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Best figures measure up nicely. Can play a significant role.
