BELFAST (15) is back from a spell of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a third, beaten 1.1 lengths, over 1200m at Niigata. Goes very well fresh. Credentials hard to fault. WIN MASQUERADE (5) was not far away last time out, finishing fifth over 1000m at Niigata. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Poses a significant threat. NOBORI RIANT (8) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 10 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1400m at Kyoto, beaten 5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. DOLCE MISTO (1) worked home well and finished second last time over 1200m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run.
