POULSEN (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. DRAGON WELDS (7) resumes after a break of nine weeks. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Should be prominent. AMERICAN BIKINI (11) resumed over 1400m at Chukyo and finished eighth then hit the frame last time when runner-up at Kyoto over 1200m six weeks ago. Drops back in grade. Sure to be competitive. YAMANIN BARONESS (6) is a promising type who returns from a spell of nine weeks and remains unbeaten in two runs. Last appeared when she score by a neck over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Impossible to knock the form and will go well again.
