Maquillage and Arararara can be prominent. UNCLE CROSS (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for third over 1200m at Hanshin when fresh from a break. Sound record at this distance with two wins and three minor placings from seven runs and is set to play a major role. MILTENBERG (12) comes here off a break of ten months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at this track. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CHICAGO STING (3) finished seventh over 1200m at Kokura at her most recent appearance on February 1. Looks a strong top-three prospect. YAMANIN AL RIHLA (4) has been racing well this campaign on the dirt, finishing third first-up at Hanshin Dirt then scoring at Chukyo Dirt over 1200m seven weeks ago. Handles the turf and should give a great sight again.
