HO O ECLAIR (3) has returned in sound form this prep over the jumps. Placed when resuming in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then was again in the money last start, beaten 2.75 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Sure to prove hard to beat. SALAPHIEL (12) opened the campaign with a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track then last start could only manage fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track 28 days ago. Cannot be left out. MEISHO GHIBLI (7) returns from a 139-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing sixth in a maiden steeplechase (2770m) at Fukushima, beaten 9 lengths. Placed at only other try over the jumps. Should be thereabouts. GRAND NAVIRE (13) improved and finished second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. Worth plenty of thought.
