RED BAROSSA (2) wasn't disgraced last start when fourth in a G3 steeplechase (3170m) at this track on November 8. Partnered again by Kayata Komaki who is building a great record when aboard. Finds a nice race and is the one to beat. SHIHONO SPERANZA (5) made a strong return from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3380m) at Fukushima, finishing second when partnered by today's jockey J Takada. Can feature again after that bright return. INDIGO BLACK (1) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a G2 steeplechase (3110m) at Tokyo. Improved and filled a minor prize last start, beaten 4.5 lengths, in a steeplechase (3110m) at Tokyo. Will be there at the finish. VINTAGE BOND (3) could only manage to finish ninth 35 days back in a steeplechase (3570m) at Nakayama. That result was on the back of a solid second at this track two starts ago. Expect a return to form.
