Strong tempo with Wolf, Isa Chil Seeking and June Secreta leading the charge. The standout is TAGANO ELU (11) was prominent throughout last time when second over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. That effort puts him a fair way ahead of his rivals. Should be far too good. SMART GLOIRE (4) recorded a strong maiden win over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt last time, getting there by 3.5 lengths. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. WOLF (5) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt four-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Likely improver with bright prospects again. LUNA DI SANGUE (7) was in contention on the bend and finished second last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Likely improver with solid claims.
