MATENRONO KAZE (7) missed the frame two back in a maiden steeplechase (2770m) at Fukushima. Turned things around last time to grab third, beaten 5 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. Only needs to jump well to feature. CHANDERNAGOR (4) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finding a couple better at his first attempt in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track nearly three weeks ago, beaten 2 lengths. Capable of playing a major role. TAGANO BARCOS (14) finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track with today's rider Takada aboard. Fitter and looks likely to feature. UNKNOWN WARRIOR (12) returns from a 119-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fourth in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin, beaten 8 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from three starts but anticipating a bright start to the campaign.
