JIRO (11) was unplaced first-up in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Improved and found the frame last start, beaten 0.8 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Sure to prove hard to beat. TEN MAJOR GIRL (10) finished sixth two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Bounced back last time to fill a minor placing, beaten 1.75 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima. Close to breaking through. KITANO BLADE (3) did fairly well when he finished second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two runs back. Less effective last time when 18 lengths away in eighth in a maiden steeplechase (2770m) at Fukushima. Expect a return to form. JUNE YOSHITSUNE (9) could only manage to finish sixth 14 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2770m) at Fukushima. That result followed a solid third in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two starts ago. Will be tough to beat.
