Verdict

HERITAGE BLOOM (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 7f at Kyoto Dirt, beaten a neck. Has his share of talent. Ready to win and gets chance. BELZEBUTH (9) debuted with a win two runs ago. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 7f at this track, beaten 0.9 lengths. Has further upside though and nicely placed to return to winning form. TEAM UTOPIA (2) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 7f at this track, beaten a nose. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RHEIN SIEG (3) registered his first win last start over 6f at Nakayama Dirt, getting home by 4 lengths. Kazuo Yokoyama was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Harder here but should be involved in the finish.
