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

Strong tempo from Roaring Flame, Nac Orion and Joyner Tesoro. JOYNER TESORO (6) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a tenth over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m. Has ability and can get off the mark. NAC ORION (12) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third last start over 1200m at Monbetsu. Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is right in contention. ROARING FLAME (11) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 11th over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Good effort to launch last prep when in the money at Tokyo Dirt over 1400m. Strong winning chance on best figures. SILVER DON (4) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt. Nicely placed and can figure in the finish.
