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

A solid tempo on the cards with Buster Wolf taking charge. BUSTER WOLF (5) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when third over 1400m at Himeji. Has raced five times here and has never missed the frame. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. CERIANA (1) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at Himeji, scoring by a neck. Winning rider Takanori Nagai sticks and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. RE GO TO (3) improved last time out to score by a neck over 1400m at Himeji. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. VIRYA (8) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at Himeji, leading throughout and putting 8 lengths on her rivals. Among the chances again.
