MARTINGALE (9) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2 lengths from the winner in second over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt after being in the firing line on the corner. Meets a field with little depth and looks the winner. DANON ON THE BEAT (10) was well in commission on his debut over 1800m at Tokyo back on February 15 and finished 15th, beaten 15 lengths. Better than that and can improve sharply. ETERNAL HOPE (5) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff he finished fourth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Opened last prep with a minor placing at Tokyo Dirt over 1600m. One of the leading chances. COLERIDGE (13) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent appearance over 2000m at Niigata. Solid top-three chance on his best figures.
