TRANSIENT (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.3 lengths away in second over 1600m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BURST OF COLOUR (8) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FIRST FORTE (2) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Nicely placed to get the prize. KITANO RAIJIN (3) is returning from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Finished 11th at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Masahiro Fukuda.
