Wide Blizzard and Eclipse Ruban to take up the running at a strong tempo. BUGGY WHIP (10) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep back on January 4 when third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Miyabi Muto who has two wins when partnering stays on. Bold showing expected. TURQUOISE FRINGE (4) is a handy type who resumes after a break of nine weeks. At his last appearance he finished seventh over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten 6 lengths. Should race in a forward position. Best figures will see him run well. ECLIPSE RUBAN (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last start over 1800m at this track, beaten one length. Placed to advantage and can run another bold race. SATOMINO ANGEL (12) scored last start at Hanshin Dirt to make it two wins in succession. Progressing in good style and then hat trick is not out of the question. The chances don't end there.
