KITASAN FUJIYAMA (5) was out of the placings in far tougher company two back then appreciated the easier grade and scored last time at this track, leading throughout. Found winning form back at the right level last start and looks hard to beat. SAMMARU FORCE (2) turned in a fine effort to win by 2 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. VIP REGULUS (7) was a winner at this track over this distance two back then tackled a longer trip last time but failed to measure up when seventh at this track. Leading chance in this more suitable race. NOBLE SNIPER (4) safely held two back on the JRA circuit then appreciated the easier company last time and led throughout to score over 1500m at this track. Can sneak into the finish again.
