COSMO VERED (8) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with success over 1400m at Kawasaki nine days ago, getting home by 3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HARPY BLOSSOM (5) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a strong race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. RINO REVE (12) returns from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished 11th at this track over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Comes here with definite top-three claims. DAIYU FARINA (3) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on 15/12/2024, finishing 11th and beaten 9 lengths over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Under the care of new trainer Kiyoshige Arai this prep. Worth plenty of thought.
