Plenty of pace evident with Ubermensch and Varuna leading the way from O Shin Dia and Bee Spirit. VARUNA (9) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing second over 850m at Mizusawa. In-form eight-year-old gelding so a well-deserved win is on the cards. UBERMENSCH (4) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 23/12/2024, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths over 850m at Mizusawa. Capable of playing a major role. SAND FALCON (5) finished 12th over 1400m at Kochi at his most recent appearance on February 4. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Akira Kimura. Among the better hopes. HASHTAG (6) was beaten 8 lengths into fifth over 850m at Mizusawa last time out. Place hope in this line up.
