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

HEAVENLY HAND (11) returns from a 98-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Chukyo, beaten 4 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from three attempts but in a modest field is expected to feature. BALAJI (4) resumes today for a new stable and is making his jumps debut. Has been out of the winners list for a while. Sure to be well-schooled and is going to be hard to beat. NATURE SHIP (9) finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo with today's rider Kei Oehara steering. Capable of much more this time. HIGHWAY STAR (7) is going over the jumps for the first time. Finished 4 lengths away seventh at the latest appearance on the flat over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Sure to make her presence felt.
