Verdict

WET SEASON (14) is a promising type who scored at his only run last prep three months ago over 1m at this track. Has a very strong record first-up including three wins. Has three wins from five starts at this circuit. Bold showing expected. SORREL BULLET (8) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.3 lengths over 1 ?m at Nakayama Dirt as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and three minor placings from five starts. Big chance once again. GROSCHEN (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 16/02/2025, finishing fifth and beaten 3.5 lengths over 1 ?m at Kyoto Dirt. Looks a strong top-three prospect. DANON THE VOLCANO (10) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Has a strong first-up record, scoring on two occasions from four runs. One to consider.
