Solid tempo with Natural Turn booting up along the inside while Sayono Max Love and Flanking Line push on from their awkward gates. FLANKING LINE (10) got home by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Winning rider Ryo Novata stays aboard. Among the leading chances. PETER RISE (11) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and is a key runner. SAYONO MAX LOVE (4) resumes after a break of five months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. PEPPER MILL (9) strode forward early from his wide draw over 1200m at Niigata Dirt last time before fading to finish 14th. Can feature in the finish.
