SHIHONO SPERANZA (9) did a good job to clock-in second two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then missed the frame last time but wasn't disgraced in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, 3.5 lengths behind the winner. Will take some stopping. NOAH FACE (6) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. Improvement in store. SPECTROGRAM (3) returned from a layoff last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin, finishing fourth when partnered by today's jockey Kayata Komaki. Decent chance in this line-up. LION ETOILE (1) was fresh from a spell last time out and making his first appearance over the obstacles. Handled the transition nicely on that occasion to finish 4.5 lengths away in third in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin. Worth plenty of thought.
