FUJI FONTE (1) is coming along well and overdue for a maiden jumps win, the latest finishing third, beaten a long neck, in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. Should run well again. MATENRONO KAZE (6) could only manage to finish sixth 41 days back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. That result followed a solid third in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama two starts ago. No surprise to see him in the finish. TAGANO BARCOS (10) is closing in on a win, the latest filling a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. The recent form should stack up. REIZVOLL (2) is going over the jumps for the first time. Finished 11 lengths away 12th at the latest appearance on the flat over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Sure to be well-schooled and is going to be prominent.
