SAPPORO KITAKO (12) Racing fresh after a break. Disappointing run when 9th last run at Monbetsu. Has the early speed to burn across from the wide draw. Looks to be value. MASANO TAIYO (1) Racing fresh today after a 29 week spell. Really dug deep when winning last start at the track and gets a favourable draw. Expect to go close. VIORNA (6) Finished 7th last start around here. Giving another go here. Expected to be flashing home. Putting up notable efforts since returning from a break. Will be around the mark at odds. SEKITEI RARE (3) Fresh after a spell. Ran 5th last run at this venue. Looking past the last run. A win wouldn't surprise.
