LUMEN LUNAE (8) earns top billing after a promising 2yo Newcomer debut at Hanshin, where he was odds-on and worked into the race nicely before finding Brad Barows a length and a half too strong. The move to 1800m is new, but the debut substance and Kawada booking give him a strong platform. WICKFORD (10) resumes from a three-month break after being run down late on debut at Fukushima, and his profile is strengthened by already having placed at around this distance. MEISHO JADE (3) is the proven race-fit runner, with three seconds from three starts and a nose defeat at Hanshin last time, though he has been finding one better. IPPEI (1) has placed three times from four starts and owns two placings from three attempts around 1800m, so he has a reliable place profile if he can turn consistency into a stronger closing threat.

Comments

Has been holding his form without breaking through, finishing third over 2000m at Sapporo last start when beaten just under three lengths after settling rearward. His previous fourth at Sapporo came by the same margin, and he has placed three times from four career starts. The return to around 1800m suits his record, but he still has to find a sharper winning edge against the main chances.

Comments

Made a plain debut in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Hanshin, finishing seventh and beaten eight and a half lengths behind Lys Gloire after being big odds in betting. He was only fair through the line and now has to show much more second-up. The drop into maiden company is some help, but the exposed debut figure leaves him with a clear improvement task.

Comments

Went within a nose of breaking through at Hanshin last start over 2000m, giving a good sight before Shonan Vatreni nabbed him late. That followed another second at Chukyo, beaten a length after settling rearward, so his consistency is beyond question. He has also placed at around this trip, and his race fitness makes him a strong winning chance again.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a heavy defeat at Chukyo, where he finished ninth and was beaten over 17 lengths after coming under pressure late. His debut at Tokyo was also safely held, finishing 11th in a 2yo NEWCOMER. He has been unplaced at around this distance and must produce a much stronger finish to threaten.

Comments

Back from a three-month break after ending his first campaign with a fourth at Niigata, beaten three lengths after settling rearward and starting unwanted in the market. His debut fifth at Fukushima was also from the back, so the pattern is clear enough. There is room for natural improvement, but he profiles more as a place chance than a horse to declare.

Resumes from a three-month break after finishing 14th in a 2yo Open at Kokura, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds and unable to make any impression from well back. His prior fifth was also well held, beaten six and a half lengths. He has not raced around 1800m before, and his form leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns from a three-month break after a debut seventh in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Niigata, beaten just under three lengths after racing prominently and fading late. She was an outside chance in betting and was not disgraced, but she has not yet raced around 1800m. With natural improvement she can press for a minor cheque, though the trip still has to be answered.

Comments

Worked into his debut strongly in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Hanshin and finished second to Brad Barows, beaten a length and a half as the odds-on favourite. The 1800m is new, but that first run had enough quality to suggest he can improve sharply with race experience. With Yuga Kawada staying aboard for a strong stable, he sets a clear standard here.

Debuted with a sixth at Nakayama in a 2yo NEWCOMER, beaten just over three lengths by Satono Hakumai after settling rearward. She was an outside chance in the betting and did enough to suggest some improvement is possible second-up. The new 1800m assignment adds a query, so she is best treated as an each-way fringe hope rather than a primary winning chance.

Back from a three-month break after a solid debut second in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Fukushima, where he was near the top of an open market and just got run down late by Risanautr. He has already placed at around this distance and returns with the same winning rider back aboard. Despite the wide draw, that debut gives him a strong platform to be a major player.
