Nagoya

KITASAN FUJIYAMA (8) Was competitive when 3rd last start around here and putting a tidy record together so far. Has plenty of early speed. Has been a model of consistency this prep. Goes close. NOBLE SNIPER (4) Mediocre display when 6th last run here. Should be going forward early. Genuine winning chance. SAMMARU FORCE (11) Bold effort to win by 1 1/2L last start at the track and proven performer at this distance. Jockey Masaaki Oohata and trainer Hiroyuki Imazu are a proven combination. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. MEINER MONT BLANC (3) Narrowly clinched the victory last time around here. Performing honestly since returning from a break. A win wouldn't surprise.
