Expecting Meisho Ijigen to find the lead but there will be plenty of pressure over the sharp trip. MEISHO IJIGEN (3) is back from a spell of 12 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Expected to feature. STAR SHOOTER (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1400m on December 30. Has ability and should be right in the finish. CHIHAYABURU RUN (8) finished third at this track and distance at her last appearance 12 weeks ago. Definite top-three chance. MARIONS NOUS (7) is having her first run since December 8 2024. Goes well when fresh with three wins and two placings from nine starts. Worth plenty of thought.
