Not much early pressure but Falchion, Gifted Black and Wreath And Ribbon can take up forward spots. FALCHION (9) last appeared on November 10 when a good fourth over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 2.75 lengths. Looks a winning chance. T LIGHTNING (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run 11 weeks ago when second, beaten a neck. Expect him to play a major role. WREATH AND RIBBON (7) went to the paddock after scoring at her last appearance 12 weeks ago over 1300m at this track. Definite top-three chance. BLAAVEIS (5) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
