MEISHO OKO (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs this time in work, working home in good style at the most recent outing to finish second over 1800m at this track. Fitter and should be in the finish. TEN ACE ONE (5) comes here off a break of three months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. One of the genuine hopes in the race. JUN LA TOUR (10) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 18 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to test this line-up. HAPPY MIND (9) returns from a spell of eight months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Has found the right race and is worth including.
