Verdict

SHINING SWORD (10) finished fifth when resuming last start, beaten 4 lengths, over 1 ?/16m at Nakayama. Big run in much tougher grade last time. Fitter again and a winning hope. BATTLE BORN (2) hasn't raced since finishing third over 1 ¼m at Kokura three months ago. All form is fresh and won only try course and distance. Can get the job done. WEST NOW (12) turned in a solid fresh performance last start when a minor placegetter over 1 ?m at Hanshin, beaten a nose. Has two wins when second-up and will strip much fitter for this. Among the winning hopes. GOLDEN SNAP (5) is back at the races for the first time since November 8. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1 ?m at Sapporo. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
