TAIYONO KISETSU (4) was close to a maiden win before a three months break, finishing off with a placing over 1200m at Sapporo. Had consistent form at JRA level before the spell so is nicely placed for a winning return. HELLO MY LOVELY (10) hasn't been far away lately, last time out finishing just 1.75 lengths back in fourth over 1000m at this track. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. May prove tough to beat. REISHIN (5) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign at this course and distance. Capable of playing a major role. SEISHO FUJI (3) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance ten weeks ago. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Can make his presence felt.
