YAMANIN HISTORIA (12) is back after a break of five months. At the last run before the layoff he finished eighth over 2200m at Chukyo. Launched last prep with a minor placing at Kyoto over 2400m. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. REVUELTO DIO (11) returns after a spell of five-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1100m at this track. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. LION SELAS (7) did a great job to score by a nose over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. No reason she cannot salute again. MEINER GENIUS (8) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1000m contest at this track last time out by a head. Best figures read very well.
