BALAJI (4) returns from a 76-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing seventh in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama, beaten 11 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from four attempts. Expecting more this time in work. DIVERTISSEMENT (5) is a 12-start maiden who was well in the market last start and finished fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Best form reads well and he shouldn’t be far away. CUPIDON (9) wasn't fancied but returned from a spell on May 30 with a sound second in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo, beaten 3 lengths. Hard to knock on that form. SEKITEI O (6) returns from a 69-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin, beaten 11 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from three attempts. Sure to acquit himself well.
