Verdict

GYLFI (7) was far from disgraced after being in the firing line on the turn to finish a nose away in second last start over 1 5/16m at this track. That followed a first-up win at Hanshin Dirt. Missed the frame just once in nine runs. Hard to beat again. LONG WAY HOME (5) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1 ¼m at Hanshin Dirt. Another bold showing is expected. J L MASTER (2) is resuming from a break of four months for a new stable after finishing seventh over 1m at this track at his latest outing. Generally runs well when fresh, recording two minor placings from three runs. Among the leading chances. TAISEI ADDICT (3) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1 ³/16m at Kyoto Dirt. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
