HAWKFIELD (7) made a winning return from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, partnered by today's jockey J Takada. Unbeaten over the sticks and is expected to feature again. INDIGO BLACK (6) filled a minor prize two back in a steeplechase (3110m) at Tokyo then again ran a good race to finish second last time out, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a steeplechase (3170m) at Kyoto. In the mix on that form. LORD LIBERACION (14) is an accomplished jumper in form. Clocked-in second last time out in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura after he got the job done in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin the run prior. Sure to be thereabouts. CONTAINER WORLD (11) made a winning return from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3200m) at this track, partnered by today's jockey Toshiki Inoue. Will come on from that run and is worth considering.
