CONTAINER WORLD (13) finished 12th the start before last at Kokura on the flat. Did a much better job last time when he filled a minor placing, beaten 3 lengths, in a steeplechase (3200m) at Nakayama. Talented chaser who will take catching. MYTHOLOGIE (6) is resuming from a layoff of three months. Raced just the once last preparation, finishing second in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Has found the right to launch this prep. VATRENI (12) is a more than capable chaser yet to win fresh but well placed here. Capable of taking this out. GANDALF (3) was very good when returning from a layoff most recently, saluting by 1.75 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Second-up record reads well, with three wins and one placings from six runs. Will strip fitter and looms large again.
