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

Great Spirit is expected to burn across and lead from the wide gate. G T ENGINE (5) has not raced since he finished second over 1400m at this track on December 22. Ready to run well. SEINOSUKE (6) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten a nose into second over 1500m at this track. Can play a major role. ROUGE MAAT (7) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at Sonoda. Rates highly and is a chance to break through. GREAT SPIRIT (12) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. This looks a good race for him and he is one of the key runners.
