MEISHO HACHIRO (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Should be winding up late again. DANON FIGO (8) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 11 lengths into 12th. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. DAISHIN LINK (5) did little and finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Nakayama Dirt the run before. Nicely placed to get the prize. STOP YEARNING (12) produced another moderate effort last start when 5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt at the second run back from a spell. Well placed to turn things around.
