Verdict

POD VADER (1) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Scored a determined win at his final run last preparation at Kyoto Dirt over 6f. Goes well fresh and has won here. Hard to beat off the inside draw. ECORO EIGHT (2) got home by 1.75 lengths last time out over 6f at this track. Boasts three wins here. Low draw and will take catching again. CONQUISTA (7) turned things around last start and got the job done by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 6f at Hanshin Dirt. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. MONDE PLUME (11) has not raced since he finished off last campaign with a strong win over 6f at this track three months ago. Sound record at this distance with three wins and four minor placings from 10 runs and cannot be underestimated.
