HELIOTROPE (11) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. A deep race but he looks the testing material. COSMO STORM (10) is back after a break of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Should be hard to stop. CHUWA CHIEF (5) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Has to be respected. MIGHTY MIGHTY (12) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping.
