Verdict

I'M INDY (8) led and just failed to hang on last start over 6f at Nakayama Dirt when well supported to make it three minor placings from three runs this preparation. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. TSUKUBA VANGUARD (2) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 6f at Nakayama Dirt, making it three minor placings in a row. Long overdue and expected to feature again. ADMI (5) finished third last start over 6f at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed 5/7 so far and bursting to win. This race is well within her grasp. SEKITEI ROCKS (12) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 7f at this track when he worked home well, beaten half a length. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
