YERMAK (8) was a gutsy winner last time over 900m at this track, scoring by 1.5 lengths to make it three wins on the bounce. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will give a great sight. BEST TSUKKI (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 900m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Nicely placed to find winning form. OSORE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 45 lengths into 15th. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. AFRO GITA (6) was in the money two starts back at Funabashi but was unable to repeat the effort last time when tenth, beaten 17 lengths, at this track over 1500m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
