La Vie En and Ziggurat can lead the small field. ZIGGURAT (1) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 7 lengths last time out over 1700m at this track. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. BLACK BUTLER (5) has not appeared since he won over 2000m at Himeji on February 19. One of the genuine hopes in the race. A SHIN LICHT (3) is building towards a win with placings at his last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1700m at this track. Should camp just off the leaders. Sure to be competitive. TRANSCENDENCE (2) had been in top form landing two consecutive wins before a last-start second over 1870m at this track. Major player.
