COSMO CONFERMA (6) is a three-start maiden who finished ninth, beaten 11 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Improvement to come and this is his chance to break through. POD BUDDY (7) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Could only manage to finish 11th at the latest run over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Hard to beat if back in good order as anticipated. MOJIMOJI (4) is yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when fourth over 1600m at this track after he travelled towards the rear of the field. Will strip fitter and shapes as a leading player. ADVANCE AUTHEN (5) has not raced since his debut back on December 7 when he finished ninth over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Open to improvement and can feature.
