WIN GALANT (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over 1000m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRANDMA'S DREAM (7) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1200m at this track, beaten a head. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Faces an easier assignment so she can play a big role. OGIFUSHINO CHIKAI (6) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing 1.5 lengths away in second last time over 1200m at this track. Sound record at this distance with two wins and four minor placings from eight runs and is capable of going well. MEISHO KUTSUKAKE (2) lines up for the first time since November 11. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1000m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
