DIVERTISSEMENT (14) returned from a spell last start with a solid second in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura with today's rider Keita Ban steering. Can continue the bright start to the campaign. MEISHO GEKIRIN (4) turned in a nice effort last time out when he scored on the flat over 2200m at Kyoto. Lining up over the jumps for the first time. Expected to make a solid transition to jumping. GOLDEN STEP (13) last raced in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track three months ago, finding one better and beaten just 2.5 lengths in a much better effort than the previous run. Strong contender if runs to latest figure. MILLENNIUM HEROINE (12) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Improved and finished third last time, beaten 3.5 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at this track. Expecting another bold run.
