Expecting Win Routine and King Squall to press forward and set the tempo. TRIPLE CORK (6) is back from a spell of ten weeks. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 2500m at Nakayama. Rates highly and looks a little bit better than these. VALENTINE GIRL (2) resumes. Finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 2500m at Nakayama ten weeks ago. All set to run well while fresh. HEARTS CONCERTO (4) returns from a spell of 15 months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 2400m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with four minor placings from six runs. In the mix if forward enough. KING SQUALL (7) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten 5.5 lengths into 12th. Capable of a top four finish.
