Expecting Meiner Ocean to take up the lead at a genuine tempo. SADAMU OPSIS (9) ran another good race last time when third over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but must be included. TSURUMAU KATACHI (2) lines up for the first time since January 25. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Nakayama. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from four tries. Has found the right race. MEINER OCEAN (7) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing seventh over 2000m at Kokura 12 weeks ago. Can make his presence felt. ONAMI KONAMI (3) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kokura. Worth plenty of thought.
