SUMERAGI (8) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a neck last time out over 1500m at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. BLAZING STAR (7) is yet to break through in eight runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt on March 29. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. SHONAN NAZCA (9) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 4.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt five-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Sure to feature again against this opposition. LOVELY WIZARD (10) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish 14th at the latest run over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has ability and must be included in calculations.
