Solid tempo expected primarily from Hakusan Hanabi and Derma Sotokomata. HAKUSAN HANABI (10) returns from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1500m at this track at her most recent appearance. Has never missed the frame at this venue, including six wins. Leading contender. PEDUNCLE ARCH (6) last appeared when he finished seventh over 1400m at this track on December 28. Has found the right race. MITEKURE KONO ASHI (7) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance three months ago. Can make his presence felt. SOUL YUNIBANSU (8) closed last campaign with three consecutive minor placings and is back today after a break of 11 weeks. Form here at the trip is sound with two wins and three minor placings from six runs. Can figure in the outcome.
