Opulent Jewel and Espoir Droit to bowl along in front. HARVARD SQUARE (5) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1800m at Tokyo. Can make a winning return. SARASVATI (10) has not raced since her debut back on September 7 when she finished fourth over 2000m at Nakayama. Capable of sharp improvement. OPULENT JEWEL (8) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2000m at Fukushima after being in contention on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MOONSTRUCK (11) is yet to break through but has been in the money five times including last start when third over 2000m at Fukushima. Sure to run well.
