Moderate tempo expected with Marukei Forte likely to find the front over Sakura Kaze and Taishiron Blade. SAKURA KAZE (12) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing second at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Looks the one to beat. TAKARA KURO ROCK (9) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at this track. Bold showing expected. MARUKEI FORTE (8) finished sixth at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Among the better hopes. KITANO MAXIM (10) is returning from a spell of four months. Finished fifth at Fukushima over 2750m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Mamoru Nitta.
