Strong tempo with Imao Tokimeku, Saimon Paulia and Green Dial going forward ahead of Slava and Gempachi Luminous. GREEN DIAL (5) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1600m at this track to make it two on the bounce. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Will prove tough to beat. ROLY GLORY (1) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 7 lengths into ninth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Perfectly placed and is sure to make amends. IMAO TOKIMEKU (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1600m. Akira Harita who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Has claims on her best figures. GIRARDET (3) saluted two runs ago then turned in a decent effort last time out when second over 1600m at this track, beaten one length. Expect a better run this time.
