AGILE BLACK (8) comes here off a break of six months. Scored over 1700m at this track to launch the last campaign. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. DAGR FORCE (6) is a distance specialist who settled well back when seventh over 2000m at Himeji last start. Ideally placed and in the mix. YAMANIN STELLATA (3) is returning from a spell of 11 months. Finished seventh at Fukushima over 2600m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Hiroto Kawashima. Among the better hopes while fresh. STEEL DREAM (7) is back at the races for the first time since November 5. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1600m at this track. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Has found a suitable race and is worth including.
