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

Hot tempo expected from Key Sonata and Dancing Rascal. APPRAISER (11) improved sharply on his fourth two starts back at this track with success over 1400m at this track five weeks ago, getting home by a neck after being in contention on the turn. Could strike again. IORI (3) was beaten 4 lengths over 1400m at Kawasaki at her last run before going for a spell on December 18 and was a winner at that same venue three back Now under the care of new trainer Maki Hirayama. Looks a winning chance. BAKLAVA (5) is back after a break of nine months. Was in the placings in all three starts of last campaign. Definite chance. DANCING RASCAL (1) gets the inside draw and has claims off a win here two back.
