Matenro Ales and Meisho Gekirin should roll forward and dictate. MELIOREM (12) last appeared on February 8 when a good fourth over 2400m at Tokyo, beaten 2.5 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and three placings from five starts and is sure to go well. ASK COME ON MORE (5) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.2 lengths adrift in third over 2000m at Tokyo when returning from a break. Record at this journey is impressive with two wins and two placings from five runs. Right in this. LANCE OF QUEEN (7) was last at the races when she scored over 2000m at Chukyo on January 26. Comes here with definite top-three claims. CHILCANO (9) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Turned in a fair effort at Kyoto over 2200m at her only run last prep, finishing fourth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Strong record with Atsuya Nishimura aboard, including two wins. In contention.
