Stake: $316,453

SHIHONO SPERANZA (9) returns from a 69-day spell. Kicked off the last campaign in good style, finishing runner-up in a maiden steeplechase at Kokura over 2860m. Set to run well again while fresh. INDIGO BLACK (10) was unplaced first-up two starts back in a steeplechase (3350m) at Nakayama. Improved and found the frame last time, beaten 5 lengths, in a steeplechase (3170m) at Kyoto. Likely to play a major role. MATENRO JOY (2) is resuming from a layoff of three months. Raced just the once last preparation, finishing seventh in a G2 steeplechase (3900m) at this track. One of the major hopes in the race. ALMAZA AMIR (4) was unplaced two back in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Turned things around last time to score by 1.5 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto. Expect the good recent form to stack up.

Race before sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished fifth of 10 starters at this track on March 29 over 3140m, 6 len behind Red Barossa carrying 60.0kg at $87.90. Wait until he shows something. Might need this run.

Useful entire. Resumes off a 55 day letup. Last outing won by 1.5 len Kyoto on April 27 over 2910m defeating Toulattatta carrying 59.0kg at $15.50 in a steeplechase. The run before finished ninth of 12 runners at Nakayama on April 6 over 2880m, 16 len behind Meisho Kazusa carrying 59.0kg at $41. This race appears well within his grasp.

Racing second-up today. Last start made some head-way from midfield; finished ninth of 12 starters at Kyoto on June 1 over 3170m, 31 len behind Dinasta carrying 60.0kg at $84.10. At only start last preparation finished 11th of 12 starters at Nakayama on September 21 over 3210m, 35 len behind Smile Through with 60.0kg at $89.40. First up effort suggests unlikely to be winning.
