Strong tempo with Hard Seltzer, Snow Silence and Meisho Drive leading the charge. SNOW SILENCE (14) was far from disgraced after being prominent at the turn to finish 1.75 lengths away in second last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a first-up win at Niigata Dirt. Best figures measure up. Loves the trip and in great form. Sure to run well. HARD SELTZER (11) returns after winning two on end before a nine months spell. Leading rider goes aboard and can make it three from three. ASTER RUHUNA (2) last appeared on November 2 when a good fourth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Sure to make her presence felt. DON TO THE MOON (1) ran well below his best last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths into fourth at $3.50. Has the pace and the right draw to find a good early position. Don't underestimate.
