Strong pace from Meiner Genius and Bloom The Dream matching motors with Daigo Ryujin close at hand. DAIGO RYUJIN (1) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1400m at this track. Winning rider F Komaki retains the mount. Sure to run well again. MEINER GENIUS (3) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and could be tough to rein in again. HERCULES TOWER (6) is back after a break of ten months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability and is a leading player. BLOOM THE DREAM (7) turned in a fine effort to score by 4 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
