Off the low draw Komasa is likely to find the lead at a slick tempo. KOMASA (3) was impressive last time at this track, scoring by 3 lengths over this trip. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. AILE UN (5) last appeared a month ago over 1800m at Niigata Dirt when he finished seventh. This is his first run for the Tsutomu Tanaka stable. Expecting a bright start for the new mentor. SOUND CONNECT (8) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last time over 1500m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 3 lengths. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. JUN PIRKA (9) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1500m at this track when beaten 5 lengths. Akira Harita stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Solid claims on best form.
