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

Plenty of pace from Valbona, Kaito Weiter and Hasty Heart matching motors ahead of Garde Corps. NINGENTE IINA (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 30 lengths on his rivals. Sure to take some stopping again. VALBONA (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 10 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. HASTY HEART (12) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Leading player on best figures - bold showing expected. RAJASTHAN ROYAL (10) was safely held when fifth last start over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten 8 lengths after a good first-up win at Funabashi. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
