ALL THE WORLD (4) returns to racing after a decent spell. Raced just the once last campaign, finishing third in a G2 steeplechase (3110m) at Tokyo. Big chance in this line-up. INDIGO BLACK (11) finished third two back in a steeplechase (3200m) at Nakayama. Couldn't match that effort last time out when returning from a 75-day break, beaten 29 lengths into 12th in a steeplechase (3350m) at Nakayama. Certainly worth including. NARINO MONTAGNE (3) resumes from a spell of two months. Started just once last campaign, when he failed to finish in a G3 steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura. Can play a role in the finish. TRANSYLVANIA (7) returns from an 84-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten 8 lengths. Must be considered.
