Epsilon Number has good early speed and can set a decent tempo. EPSILON NUMBER (5) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Won only try this trip and ran on hard late over a shorter trip latest. Extra trip again is a plus. Hard to beat. OTACHI (7) is a distance specialist who has been in good form, scoring three back at Fukushima Dirt then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 2400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MUGELLO (8) was disappointing over 2400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. O SHIN HALF (1) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 2400m at this track four weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
