HIGHWAY STAR (1) has been going well. Did a good job second last start in a steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata after she scored in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura the run before. Has barely put a foot wrong over the fences and looks very hard to beat. ALMAZA AMIR (2) ran a much better race last time when he finished second in a steeplechase (3170m) at this track. Fitter again and looks ready. Follow up. CONTAINER WORLD (3) was unplaced two back in a steeplechase (3200m) at Nakayama. Bounced back last time to finish third, beaten 1.5 lengths, in a steeplechase (3200m) at Nakayama. Hard to beat if on his game. ATRACTIVO (5) has been out of the money in two runs this preparation, both over the jumps. Finished fourth when fresh from a spell then was 12 lengths away in fourth most recently in a steeplechase (3170m) at this track. No surprise to see him back in form.
