Okeanis should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. PORT DE LA MER (5) resumes. Didn't make an impact at her only run last prep on January 18, finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Good fresh performer with two wins from four attempts. Looks a winning chance. OKEANIS (6) is back from a spell of six months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1800m at this track. Will be hard to stop. MEIKEI REIN (3) is back from a break of nine weeks. Closed last campaign with a narrow defeat over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. TSUNESAN (15) ran a better race last start, finishing 4.5 lengths away in sixth over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so can build on that latest effort.
