Verdict

KIMIWA SQUALL (13) last appeared on February 10 when a good sixth over 6 ½f at this track, beaten 1.4 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Doesn't win out of turn but rarely far way and this easiest race in a while. Gets chance. TONIKEN SAMBA (12) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths at Nakayama Dirt over 6f. The engagement of Akira Sugawara is noteworthy. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. SILFLAY (9) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Nakayama Dirt over 6f last time, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Fitter again and placed 3/4 when second-up. Definite winning hope. ECORO CADIZ (4) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.1 lengths back in fourth over 5 ¾f at Fukushima Dirt. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix.
