NOA CHERRY (8) did well to finish second two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Backed that up with a sound second in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at this track 14 days ago, beaten one length. Long overdue for a jumps win. Major player again. SMILE THROUGH (2) did fairly well when he finished second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two runs back. Franked that form when just 6 lengths away in third last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Placed 2/2 over the jumps. Cannot be left out. SHIGERU HIRATORI (3) comes here off a sound second 28 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. That result came as no surprise after a solid third in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two starts ago. Will be a force once again. ALMA DORADO (5) returns after three months in the paddock. Raced just once when last in work and finished third a 2860m maiden steeplechase at Kokura, beaten 11 lengths. Will be ready to run well.
