LORD VALENTI (13) finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo with today's rider Tomoyasu Sakaguchi piloting. Fitter and expected to run a much better race. DANON ROCKY (12) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey Y Igarashi. Has ability and strips fitter. GO TO KIRISHIMA (2) filled a minor prize two back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track then again ran a good race to finish second last time out, beaten 1.75 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. Hard to knock the recent efforts. NATURE SHIP (6) did fairly well when he finished second in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto two runs back. Franked that form when just 5.5 lengths away in third last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto. Leading contender again.
