|---|---|---|---|---|

Strong pace with Jasper Robusto, Narukami and Gloria Mundi pushing forward, closely attended by Odilon and Maximum Power. NARUKAMI (2) lines up for the first time since December 29. Looking to emulate his win at Morioka Dirt at the beginning of last prep. Comes here with definite claims. ODILON (9) is back from a break of ten weeks. Put together back-to-back wins before going for a spell, the most recent at Kochi over 2400m. Has a strong association with Tomohiro Yoshimura who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Leading contender. GLORIA MUNDI (8) got the job done when resuming last start at this track over 1800m after he was in contention on the bend. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring two times from four starts. Has a formidable combination with Norifumi Mikamoto who has been aboard for his last two wins. One of the better chances. KAZU TANJA (3) lines up on the back of a 7 length fourth over 2000m at Saga as favourite. Capable of playing a big role.
