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

Taketombo and Elf Struck can lead the small field. MIKKI SPINEL (4) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1600m at Hanshin when third, beaten 2 lengths. Can progress off that run and take this out. ELF STRUCK (2) last appeared when she got the cash over 1800m at Kokura on February 16. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. FAMILY TREE (1) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fourth over 2000m at Hanshin. Solid top-three prospects. STIRRING UP (7) finished second last time over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten a neck. Will trim down following recent racing. In the right race and is sure to be prominent.
