Despite the small field Steel Dream, Honey Beat and Capsule will set a genuine tempo. STEEL DREAM (4) resumes after a break of six-and-a-half months. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Best fresh figures put him right in this. CAPSULE (2) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when 13th over 1400m at Kawasaki. Forgive the last couple in tougher assignments. Can bounce back. HONEY BEAT (1) lines up for the first time since November 1. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1000m at this track. Worth plenty of thought. FREE PASSPORT (5) resumes from a spell of five months. Has filled a minor placing at both first-up runs. Opened last prep with a third over 1700m at this track. Expected to run well.
