|---|---|---|---|---|

GRAND NAVIRE (14) comes here off a sound second in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. That followed another second in a chase here the start prior. Has placed 3/5 course and distance and overdue for a jumps win. BLANC FORTE (10) returns from a short break. Turned in a better effort at the last run before the spell when second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten a neck. Strong contender if runs to latest figure. A BATTUTA (9) has been out of the money in two starts this prep, both over the jumps. Finished fifth when fresh from a spell then was beaten a long way most recently in a maiden chase at Chukyo. Better than last run and rates strongly this line-up. Sharp improver. NISHINO BLAZEST (12) was making his jumps debut last start when fresh from a spell. Could only manage 11th on that occasion, beaten 29 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata. Sure to improve.
