BLOSSOM SPEAR (3) Right in the mix last start at Hanshin and having second career run. Capable of taking this out. RAY QUEEN (8) Was strong late when 2nd beaten by 1/2L last run at Hanshin. Has run into the placings all attempts this preparation. Will give a big sight. KISHIGE HERO (4) Advanced late into 4th last start at Hanshin and having second career run. Use betting as best guide. JONG GOD (7) First run back from a break. Couldn't stay in touch when 8th last time at Kokura but having second race start. Yuga Kawada is a smart booking. Watch market moves closely.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after a mixed first campaign, with the best piece of form a fifth at Hakodate when beaten just under two lengths at long odds. She later finished seventh behind Logi Crown, beaten just under nine lengths after settling rearward. Unplaced from three starts and untested at 1600m, but that earlier effort gives her some minor place appeal if she returns sharper.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Returns from a three-month break with a lot to prove after two heavy defeats at Kokura. He was second last behind Nishino Franken, beaten over 15 lengths after fading late, and had been beaten a long way on debut on dirt. The class drop is some help, but he was unwanted in the market last time and must produce a far stronger finish to trouble these.

Comments

Placed on debut in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Hanshin, tracking the speed and lengthening nicely when third to Issus, beaten a long neck. He was sent out favourite, so there was clear market expectation, and that performance gives him a strong base for start two. Stepping to 1600m for the first time is the one query, but the debut substance and natural improvement set him up as the one to beat.

Debuted with a sound fourth in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Hanshin, beaten just over three lengths by Brad Barows after racing in touch and working home fairly. He started at long odds, so the result had some merit, and he now has race experience on his side. The class drop helps, but he still has to find a sharper closing effort to turn that honest debut into a winning threat.

Comments

Finished second last on debut in a 2yo NEWCOMER at Hanshin, beaten just over nine lengths by Impulse Drive after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The class drop and weight relief are positives, but he is untried at 1600m and has to improve sharply from that first outing before he can be treated as a serious chance.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh on debut at Kokura, beaten over 10 lengths by Maru Mori Muso. He had the job ahead and kept going, but was never a winning hope, and his record remains very light with 1600m still untested. The class drop is a small positive, though his first race performance leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns from a three-month break after a costly debut defeat at Kokura, where he was sent out an odds-on favourite but faded into eighth behind Porte Bleue, beaten just over six lengths. The market clearly expected more, and the Yuga Kawada-Haruki Sugiyama combination adds weight to a rebound case. A half brother to Group 1 winner Justin Milano, he can improve enough to be a genuine place hope.

Comments

Went close at Hanshin last start, looming up and fighting hard when second to Break Girl, beaten half a length. That followed a debut third at Kokura where she worked home evenly, and she has now placed at both starts, including once at this distance. Third-up, race fit and holding the strongest recent profile in the field, she looks a major winning chance again.

Returns from a three-month break after being beaten out of sight on debut at Chukyo Dirt, finishing seventh of eight behind Pham Viet Chanh after giving very little in the run home. She was big odds there and there was no clear excuse in the run. The class drop alone is not enough to offset that margin, so she has to find a completely different level.
