Comments

Has been safely held in recent runs, finishing eighth at Urawa last week when beaten over 11 lengths at long odds after settling well back and making no impression. That followed a second-last at Funabashi, beaten over 15 lengths in similar fashion. The light weight and class drop help only so much, with her recent profile leaving a sizeable improvement task.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after a plain 12th at Funabashi, beaten over 12 lengths when settling rearward and offering little late. He had also been safely held here the start prior, so the current campaign has not built on his better track-and-trip record. The rider has won on him before, but recent evidence leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Worked on without threatening when fifth at Kawasaki last start, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Clipclop after having the job ahead. The run prior was a plain seventh behind Proud Park at Funabashi, so he has recent ground to make up on key rivals. The class drop and solid overall record keep him in the minor-money conversation rather than as a clear winning play.

Comments

Back after five weeks following a fifth behind Proud Park at Funabashi, where he had a lot to do and worked home fairly without ever looking likely. His previous fifth behind Another Moon was sounder, beaten just over four lengths after conceding a big start. The maiden record is the major knock, but his recent consistency is enough for a minor placing chance.

Comments

Was again well held at Kawasaki last start, finishing seventh and beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds after settling rearward. She had been beaten over 17 lengths by Proud Park at Funabashi before that, so there is no obvious recent excuse to lean on. The light weight and rider familiarity are positives, but she must show far more early and late.

Returns from a five-week let-up after a much better fourth behind Proud Park at Funabashi, beaten just over five lengths and improving on her previous ninth as favourite. She remains a maiden after 18 starts, which tempers the confidence, but she has placed seven times overall and four times at the distance. Third-up, she has the profile to be a genuine threat.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second last over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten over 14 lengths after conceding a big start. His previous fifth behind Graffiti War was more competitive, though still never a winning hope. The rise to 1500m is a query on the current evidence, but his past placing record gives him some minor claims if he rebounds.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after a tenth over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten over 13 lengths at long odds when unable to make headway. She was also beaten over 11 lengths over 1800m here the run prior, so the recent form is flat. A past placing at this track and distance offers only slight support, with a much sharper finish required.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after a strong Funabashi win, scoring by a length and a half from Another Moon while near the top of an open market. That improved sharply on his previous sixth behind the same horse, and he is now third-up with a win at this track and distance. Shotaro Kawashima has won on him, and the current form makes him the one to beat.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second last behind Proud Park at Funabashi, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. Her previous run over 1800m was also well below standard, beaten over 14 lengths by Bonifacio. She has won at this track and distance in the past, but an unplaced run through the past 12 months makes her difficult to promote.

Comments

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last at Urawa over 800m, beaten over 17 lengths and unwanted in the market. The start before she failed to finish over 2000m, so the recent record is hard to build a case around. The class drop and return to 1500m may suit better, but she has been unplaced at the distance and others bring stronger claims.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth at Funabashi, beaten over 10 lengths by B B Radon despite tracking the speed. That was still an improvement on his second-last behind Another Moon, when he settled back and failed to come on. His career record is sound enough for this grade and he has placed four times with Junichi Jitsukawa, so a placing is within reach.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a close sixth in a 3yo+ C2 at Kawasaki, beaten two and a half lengths by Kanetoshi Shukin as the well-supported favourite. His previous Funabashi run in a 3yo COND was plain, but he has won here and now drops into C3 grade. The back in trip asks something, yet his better form profiles strongly for this field.
