Tempo strong with Light Warrior booting up with Meisho Funjin also pressing forward. SUNRISE ZIPANGU (7) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Leading contender. MEISHO HARIO (8) finished a 4.5 lengths sixth when resuming last start over 1600m in the G1 February Stakes at Tokyo Dirt. Second up record is sound. Expected to feature. GRAND BRIDGE (12) is a handy six-year-old mare who returned from a break last start and finished a neck away in second over 2400m at Funabashi. Likely to be in the finish. DIKTAEAN (6) returned from a spell four weeks ago when he was beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth over 2400m at Funabashi. Strips fitter and can feature in the finish.
