T M MAGIC (4) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Improved and filled a minor prize last start, beaten 6 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track. Sure to prove hard to beat. ENERGY POCO A POCO (6) was unplaced two back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Filled a minor prize last time in a much better performance in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) here beaten 11 lengths. No surprise to see him in winner's stall. PIETERSITE (8) was most recently at the races four months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten 7 lengths. Definite top-three prospects. PEARLY BLACK (14) was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 7 lengths into fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track. Capable of much more this time.
