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

Strong tempo with Make One's Day, A Shin Deed and Terviseks leading the charge. DIAMOND KNOT (9) was runner-up in the elite grade latest when beaten less than a length in the G1 Asahi Hai Futurity Stakes December 21 over 1600m. Form shown last campaign makes for good reading. The one to beat. TAMAMO ICARUS (17) was a strong winner in stakes class fresh. This tougher but fitter and will be winding up strongly. FUKUCHAN SHO (7) was Grade 2 placed two back then placed in stakes class fresh. Placed 2/2 when second-up. Sure to run well. MAKE ONE'S DAY (2) is a progressive three-year-old colt who hasn't raced since finishing second over 1400m at Hanshin on December 27. Has never been out of the placings first up from two tries. Has a high cruising speed. Not to be discounted.
