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

Good pressure from the outset with Win Beginning, Beryl Sphere and Twin Drive taking up the running over Willy's Rock and Placement. Looks a two-horse race. WIN BEGINNING (5) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten a neck when resuming as favourite. Likely improver who only has one realistic threat, being PLACEMENT (3) who made a promising debut over 1600m at this track on February 15, finishing half a length away in second. Handy draw will assist so he is going to take some stopping. FUKKATSUNO JUMBO (2) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Copano Rickey from Yukino Champ who has a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Beautifully drawn and should go well. TWIN DRIVE (14) is back after a break of 11 weeks. At the last run before the lay-off he finished seventh over 2100m at this track. A bright return wouldn't surprise.
