Multiple Grade 3 winner ASAKUSA GENKI (2) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura. Improved and finished second last time, beaten 1.3 lengths, in a steeplechase (3350m) at Nakayama. Recent form suggests a big run is on the cards. VARIAMENTE (3) closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura, beaten 4 lengths. Key runner while fresh. SWAYAMBHUNATH (7) did a reasonable job when he finished second in a steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura two runs back. Franked that form when just 6 lengths away in third last time out in a steeplechase (3140m) at Hanshin. Leading contender again. Grade 3 winner SUCCESSION (8) is looking to go a couple better after filling a minor placing in a steeplechase (3390m) at Kokura last time out on January 27. One of the leading contenders.
