Verdict

GLOIRE SKY (2) was safely held in tougher company two runs back then appreciated the drop in grade last time and scored over this track and trip. Terrific chance to go back-to-back. TOKINO CAMPIONE (7) finished out of the money last start after he got a long way back over 1 ?m at Niigata Dirt six-and-a-half weeks ago. Much better placed in this grade and is among the key chances. KOFUSEIGETSU (1) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work here. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. BRING ME DOWN (4) improved last start to finish third over 7f at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
