HO O TRUMP (8) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1600m, finishing fourth and beaten 4.5 lengths. Speedy type who won only try this trip. Back in trip and worth another chance. TAGANO ENFANT (7) hit the frame two starts ago at Hanshin but ran below par last time when eighth and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Has the talent to take this out. MEISHO KITE (11) was last at the races when she finished second over 1400m at this track on January 24. Among the better hopes. REALIZE (10) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing ninth over 1600m at this track. Good record at this journey, including four wins. Can measure up.
