CROWN SET (2) wasn't far away when resuming from a layoff last start, beaten a neck into second in a steeplechase (3300m) at this track. Fitter and will be tough to beat. HEZARFEN (5) finished tenth two back in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Turned things around last time to score by 2 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at this track. In the mix again. T M EMERALD (4) was very good when returning from a layoff most recently, beaten 4 lengths into third in a steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Expecting further improvement. PURPLE ADMIRAL (1) was returning from a layoff last start when beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a steeplechase (3380m) at Fukushima. Decent chance in this line-up.
