GOING: G

Open Class Race 3170m

Track:      

HEZARFEN (7) is a talented jumper who has been in stellar form of late. Comes here following a maiden steeplechase (3000m) win at Chukyo two runs ago then again proved too strong when he won by 10 lengths in a steeplechase (3330m) at the same track on August 23. Bombproof at present and looks hard to beat again. T M MAGIC (6) looking to improve on a last-start fourth in a G3 steeplechase (3140m) at Hanshin on September 20. Will be hard to beat coming back a level or two. CONTAINER WORLD (9) is resuming from a layoff of two months. Had just the one run last preparation, finishing fourth in a steeplechase (3300m) at Chukyo. Can pose a serious challenge. DINASTA (5) prepared for this with a last-start 11th on the flat over 2600m at Sapporo on September 7. Partnered again by J Takada who is building a great record when aboard. Sure to make his presence felt back over the obstacles.
