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

HAWKFIELD (7) won two back in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then couldn't repeat the dose last time but wasn't disgraced when he finished fourth in a steeplechase (3200m) at Nakayama, beaten 4 lengths. If at his best he will be too strong for this field. MATENRO JOY (11) is looking to improve on a last-start ninth in a G3 steeplechase (3170m) at this track on November 8. Looms as a serious contender dropping back to an easier contest. ALMAZA AMIR (5) returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, finishing fifth when partnered by today's rider Kayata Komaki. Capable of much more this time. KEITEN AIJIN (6) was unplaced the start before last in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Made amends last time when he saluted in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin. Must be included.
