ANOTHER ACE (4) registered a sound second 28 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin. Placed last three and long overdue. Top chance at best. A BATTUTA (12) fought on well last time and finished a very close second in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Best efforts measure up and he is a strong top-three hope. SNOW DIVA (5) did a good job to finish second two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then ran a nice race last time found one better in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura 56 days ago, 6 lengths behind the winner. Sure to be thereabouts again. FUJI FONTE (3) comes here off a sound third 63 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. That result came as no surprise after a solid third in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura two starts ago. Definite winning chance first up.
