Pace will be genuine with Kanemitsu Ace and Jo Book Luce locking horns in advance of Dios Message and Arma Blade. KANEMITSU ACE (9) is back at the races for the first time since November 1. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1100m at this track. Has found a suitable race and should be right in this. DAGR FORCE (10) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a sixth over 1600m at Ohi and launched last prep with a minor placing at Fukushima over 2000m. Rates highly and is a hope. JO BOOK LUCE (3) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when eighth over 920m at Nagoya. Is unbeaten in three starts here. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. DIOS MESSAGE (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on November 2 finishing fifth over 1800m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
