REIWA SANSAN (6) has not been produced since November 8 when fourth and beaten 3 lengths over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Finds a soft race to kick off this prep and is sure to make his presence felt. NISHINO JEDI (9) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his sixth here the run before. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MEISHO SACHIDAKE (7) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 10 when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at Kyoto over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ZAKKUZAKU (3) comes here off a break of ten months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1400m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
