Moderate tempo with Smile Moon leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. LAGRIMAS MARIA (1) last appeared eight weeks ago over 800m at Himeji when she finished second. This is her first run for the Masahiro Saito stable. Sure to take beating. LAEVATEINN (9) returns after 14 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 12th over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Ready to find winning form. SMILE MOON (3) finished eighth over 1400m at Mizusawa at her most recent appearance on December 28. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Masato Kawashima. Looks a strong top-three prospect. KITASAN MUSE (11) returns after 16 months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 16th over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
