LAPIN RAPIDE (7) wasn't far away when resuming from a layoff last start, beaten a neck into second in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Strips fitter and is again a top chance. AUSWAHL (2) is yet to land a glove in two runs this prep. Resumed with a sixth in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto then was 5.5 lengths away in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo 22 days ago. Must be a chance in today's scenario. TOA MARISHITEN (9) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Placed 4/8 over the fences. He's improving with racing and one of the main dangers. POINT CULMINANT (4) was unplaced two starts ago in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin then improved last time when he wound up in fourth, beaten 6 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Worth serious consideration.
