Hallucination and Elf Saien have the pace to take up the running at a solid tempo. ELF SAIEN (10) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months after closing off last preparation with three consecutive minor placings. Best form puts her right in this. HALLUCINATION (2) is back from a nine months spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Should be prominent. SEIUN GAORI (8) returns after five-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1000m at this track. Among the chances while fresh. FRONTIER BRIGHT (11) returns from a spell of eight months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished tenth at Fukushima over 1800m when first-up last time in work. Rough place hope in a pretty weak race.
