Saxon Sienne and Indicator to bowl along in front. Easily the toughest race on the card. CAELUM (12) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2600m at Kokura. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. ARRONDI (15) was below his best last time, finishing 15th and beaten 6 lengths over 2200m at Nakayama. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to turn things around. NAMURA HOOKER (8) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 2400m at Kyoto, an improvement on his eighth at this track the run before. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SAXON SIENNE (6) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 1.75 lengths back in sixth over 2000m at Kyoto. Cannot be underestimated.
