MEINER COLUMBUS (3) missed the frame two back in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Turned things around last time to finish third, beaten 5 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Sure to prove hard to beat. Grade 3 placegetter VATRENI (2) has been mixing his form this preparation over the jumps. In the placings when resuming then finished 13 lengths from the winner last time in seventh in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Hard to fault on his best form. TEN MAJOR GIRL (7) could only manage to finish seventh 55 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. That result was on the back of a solid third in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at this track two starts ago. Sure to be thereabouts. ALMA DORADO (13) returns after a break having switched stables. Has ability and should be wound up for this. Sure to make his presence felt.
