YAMAFUJI SHO 2000m Track: |

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

Solid tempo with Blue Maestro, Jet Blade and Kumo Hitotsu Nai the ones to roll forward. BLUE MAESTRO (4) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 2000m at this track 11 weeks ago and has not been produced since. Will come on following that run and looks tough to hold out again. DANON PICTURE (1) broke through for his maiden win over 2400m at Tokyo last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. BE ON THE COVER (2) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing ninth last start over 2200m at this track six weeks ago. Forgive the last run; in the mix. EMPEROR'S SWORD (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at this track over 1800m on January 26. Has found the right race and is worth including.
