HO O ECLAIR (11) was most recently at the races two months ago. Only appeared once when last in work and finished third in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo, beaten 4.5 lengths. Another bold showing expected while fresh. AMERICAN PEACE (9) returns from a 84-day spell. Kicked off the last campaign in good style, finishing runner-up in a maiden steeplechase at Kyoto over 2910m. Expect him to be prominent. VRADIA (6) missed the frame two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Bounced back last time when he finished second in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Capable of a another forward showing. LORD PRAYER (14) last raced in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at this track three months ago, finding one better and beaten just a head in a much better effort than the previous run. Latest run augers well for this.
