|---|---|---|---|---|

Genuine tempo from Ho O Nouveau leading Fonte Des Neiges. FONTE DES NEIGES (1) closed last prep nine weeks ago when she finished third over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Ticks all the right boxes in a race of questionable quality. Looks the winner. HO O NOUVEAU (8) finished fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, when tackling a dirt track for the first time last start at Fukushima Dirt over 1700m. Will take a lot from that last run and is the logical danger. AL MALIKAT SABA (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth in a 1600m contest at Tokyo Dirt six weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LAGUNA TORRE (13) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when seventh, beaten 11 lengths, at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m.Top-three prospects.
