Verdict

SHARK WARNING (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and three minor placings from seven runs. Sure to go well again. THALBERG (12) has been out of the money at his last couple, the latest when sixth at Hanshin. Getting down in the weights now. Finds an easier assignment and is among the leading chances. ENDLESS BUNKER (11) improved last start to finish third over 6f at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. VLASTARI (3) resumes from a spell of four months and is having his first outing under new trainer Kazuma Hashimoto. Finished ninth at Nakayama Dirt over 1 ?m at the opening run last time in work. In the mix here.
