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

Neos Teras and Mo Mo Black can be prominent. NEOS TERAS (2) is back from a spell of three months. Put together three wins prior to the break, the latest at this track over 1000m. Toshiya Yamamoto who has four wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. DANJU KARIYUSHI (5) returns from a break of 11 months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1200m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. MO MO BLACK (8) had been racing well with two consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 1200m at this track. Ryo Kobayashi stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. One of the main contenders. YAMASHO QUEEN (7) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Another forward showing is anticipated.
