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

From a wide gate Eclat De Neige has the speed to cross and lead a low-pressure affair. KEIAI KARAKIA (11) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when sixth at Fukushima. Far better placed and happy to have him on top this time in his easier assignment. BESTSELLER (7) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff she finished 16th over 1200m at Fukushima. Nicely placed and expected to go well in this suitable race. KITANO ARPEGGIO (6) finished out of the money when fourth over 1200m at Monbetsu five weeks ago. Steps up a level but he is worth another chance. SPES LIGA (8) finished ninth at his last appearance over 1500m at this track on December 4. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes.
