Despite the wide draw Fairy Blue has the dash to cross and lead a low-pressure contest. DANON PICTURE (12) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing ninth over 2400m at Niigata four months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Is very well placed this inferior company; the measuring stick. TRAIN THE MIND (14) turned in a strong run to win two back but below best last time when missed the frame over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Found the class too testing last time but better placed here and should feature in the finish. SEZAN WORLD (8) finished 6 lengths from the winner in ninth on turf at Niigata two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Fukushima over 1800m when 5.5 lengths adrift in seventh. Strong contender back on the dirt. Can atone. GLARE NEON LIGHT (2) produced a better run last start at the second run of the campaign, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 2100m at Kawasaki. Nicely placed to find some form.
