SHINING SWORD (10) finished fifth when resuming last start, beaten 4 lengths, over 2500m 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 2000m 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 2600m 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 2600m at Sapporo. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
