MEINER BISMARCK (9) drifted well back then came with a powerful run to finish 0.8 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start over 2000m at this track. Will be a major player again. LULU LIMA (2) last appeared on November 22 when a good fourth over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 1.2 lengths, which was her only run of the campaign. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and should be hard to stop. MEINER AURUM (11) is close to breaking through following a narrow defeat last time over 1800m at this track. Fukamichi Ishigami has registered two minor placings when on board. Certainly one to consider. BUZZ UP BEAT (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well.
