Open Class Race 3100m

Track:      

SUZUKA HARBIN (1) is an accomplished jumper who was unplaced in a steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura two starts back. Turned in a better effort last start when he scored by 1.75 lengths in a steeplechase (3250m) at Niigata. Sure to prove hard to beat. MONDREISE (9) returns from a 63-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a steeplechase (2850m) at Niigata, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has ability and worth including. PURPLE ADMIRAL (4) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a steeplechase (3380m) at Fukushima. Improved and found the frame last start, beaten 10 lengths, in a steeplechase (3330m) at Chukyo. Good enough to test this field. GEOFRONT (11) returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3300m) at Chukyo, finishing eighth when partnered by today's jockey Kota Washizu. Capable of much more this time.
