Ecoro Sieg and T M Spada can be prominent. TOSHIN MACAU (14) scored a commanding victory in the G2 Keio Hai Spring Cup at Tokyo over 1400m at his latest appearance on May 3. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MAMA COCHA (3) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Looking to emulate her win at Nakayama to kick off the last campaign. Has ability and should be right in the finish. T M SPADA (2) was well fancied when resuming but found one better in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash at Niigata, finishing a neck adrift at the end of 1000m. Looks well placed stepping out in trip. Can figure in the finish. YOSHINO EASTER (5) is back from a break of nine weeks. Only raced once last campaign which was a narrow defeat over 1200m in the G3 Kitakyushu Kinen at Kokura. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Solid claims on best form.
