TAISEI KAISER (6) is on debut for the Yutaka Okumura stable. Three-year-old colt by Asia Express from Valois. Bold showing expected, with a betting watch advised. AL HAYL FORT (4) is a six-start maiden who has been in the money two times. Could only manage sixth at the latest appearance over 1800m at Hanshin. Has a good record at this distance with two top-three results from four starts. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. MASTER LICENSE (12) is on debut for the Koichi Ishizaka stable. Three-year-old colt by Saturnalia from Top License. Should acquit himself well. Watch for a positive market lead. RISING SHOT (1) is a three-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 9 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration.
