PROUD PARK (3) improved last start to finish second over 1500m at this track after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CAPTAIN BLUE (7) resumes from a spell of five months. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1500m at this track. Has ability and is a solid chance. SUMERAGI (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 15 lengths when 12th over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt six-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. HAKUAI RAGAZZA (8) finished third last time over 1500m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
