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

Sam Hunter has good gate speed and likely to set a genuine tempo with the advantage of the inside draw. SAM HUNTER (1) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Will again be prominent from the outset. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEI TO SUI (3) is back after a break of five months. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Expect him to play a major role. BENTAYGA (12) was a dominant winner last time over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, getting home by 4 lengths. Capable of testing this field. DASSHUDA CROWN (14) has not won for a long while. Last raced on April 7 when beaten 9 lengths into eighth at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m. Nicely placed to break the run of outs.
