Verdict

Good race with many of these coming off wins. MR CANBERRA (5) accounted for a maiden field over 1 ?m at Nakayama Dirt last start, finishing 10 lengths ahead of the nearest rival. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Re-unites with Takeshi Yokoyama who was on board last start. Sure to prove tough to beat again. B B AGILE (16) was rewarded with his maiden success last start, scoring by 5 lengths over 1 ?m at Nakayama Dirt. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish again. MEISHO PEITO (11) proved too strong two runs ago at Chukyo Dirt. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1 ?m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. K TWO LIVRE (12) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1 ?m at Hanshin Dirt. Worth including.
