AUSWAHL (9) has been close to the winner last three, the latest beaten 2.5 lengths into fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata. Long overdue for a chase win and gets chance. MEISHO HALE (8) was unplaced two back in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo. Filled a minor prize last time in a much better performance in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo, beaten 5.5 lengths. Sure to improve again. Top chance at best. OLYMPOS KAZUMA (2) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo. Improved and found the frame last time, beaten 7 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata. Good enough to test this field. BLACK SHIELD (12) returned from a layoff last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata, finishing sixth when partnered by today's rider Kayata Komaki. Capable of much more this time.
