Schwarz Schild and Majin Taxi should set a strong clip. SCHWARZ SCHILD (12) returns after a spell of nine weeks. Looking to emulate his win at this track at the beginning of last prep. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. AMBASSADE NEIGE (9) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second, beaten a nose, over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. BELZEBUTH (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SATONO ESCAPE (3) returns from a spell of four months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Can make his presence felt while fresh.
