KING SQUALL (4) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was in the firing line on the turn before being beaten 2 lengths into fourth over 2400m at Kyoto. Strips fitter and can go on to take this out. SARATOGA CHIPS (6) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep six-and-a-half months ago. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. CAELUM (2) lines up for the first time since 16 November. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2400m at Hanshin. Finds a suitable race to launch this campaign and is worth including. WEISER BARCO (7) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 10 lengths away in eighth over 2500m at Nakayama. Better than that so worth another chance.
