PRIMZAHL (2) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at this track. Rates highly and should take some beating in a fairly shallow race. ASSEMBLY ROOM (1) resumes today after a good second at his last appearance at Tokyo over 1600m on November 8. Lightly raced four-year-old who draws the fence and should play a major role. MELANGE (11) has not raced since she finished sixth over 1800m at Niigata on October 26. Scored at her only run over today's distance. Worth plenty of thought. GOLD SHEEN (8) finished seventh over 1600m at Tokyo at his most recent appearance on November 8. In the money at his only visit to this track. Definite top three chance.
