TOULATTATTA (3) is going well over the jumps and is long overdue, the latest when second in a steeplechase (3290m) at Niigata last start. Prospects look very bright. NATURE SHIP (7) has been racing well. Won two starts back in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin then was very competitive last time, beaten just 2.5 lengths into third in a steeplechase (3110m) at Hanshin. Big threat in this suitable race. CHANDERNAGOR (6) returned from a layoff last time out in a steeplechase (3110m) at Hanshin, finishing sixth when partnered by today's rider Masayuki Nakamura. Deserves another chance. FUMUS MUT (5) has put in a couple of moderate performances since resuming. Kicked off with an unplaced effort in a steeplechase (3170m) at Kyoto then clocked-in fifth last start in a steeplechase (3170m) at Kyoto. Worth serious consideration.
