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

Genuine tempo from Chimu Dondon leading Alpha Sirius. ALPHA SIRIUS (10) returns after a break of 11 weeks. Has won three on end, the latest over 1400m at this track. Far too good last time and expected to go right on with it. COSMO PIEDRA (8) last raced when successful by a neck over 1400m at this track 11 weeks ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. FOR ELISE (4) is returning from a spell of 11 weeks. Finished 11th at Tokyo over 1600m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Naoki Nishino. Comes here with definite top-three claims. BIG RYUO (5) has not appeared since he finished third over 1400m at this track on December 31. Worth plenty of thought.
