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

MEISHO SOSEKI (5) did fairly well when placed in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura the placed again in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura last time. Close to a win and gets chance. ARENARIA (4) tackles the jumps for the first time. Last raced when she finished ninth in a over 2000m at Kyoto on May 23. Sure to be well-schooled and is going to be right in the finish. ANOTHER ACE (13) did fairly well when he finished second in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin two runs back then was well off best before a spell. Was close to a jumps win last time in. Expect a bold run. UP STROKE (2) has put in a couple of moderate performances since resuming. Opened with an unplaced effort in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata then weighed-in fourth last time in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. No surprise to see him back in form.
