Verdict

AFTER REVIEW (3) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when third over 6f at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Best form puts him right in this. OSUMI MESSINA (2) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having her first outing under new trainer Hiroshi Takami. Finished 11th at Kyoto Dirt over 6f at the opening run last time in work. One of the genuine hopes in the race. NINLIL (11) did well last time to finish third over 5f at this track. The extra journey should play into her hands. Right in the mix. NISHINO SECRET (6) was responsible for a better run last start at the second run of the prep, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 6f at this track. Well placed to bounce back.
