DUFTBLUTE (4) Performed below standard when 4th last time at the track. Happy to overlook that run. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Expect a bold showing. SILVER NIECE (5) Winner by 2L last start at this venue. One of the major players. SUZURAN QUEEN (1) Disappointing run when 9th last start at the track but will appreciate a good gate. Has shown early pace in races to date. Not out of this. UNICO (3) Only fair when 9th last start at this venue. Might have to make up considerable ground. Place hopes amongst this field.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain ninth in 3yo A2 at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Mo Mo Chrome when unwanted in the market. The start prior was also well below par, but she now drops into C1 company, is a track-and-trip winner and reunites with Masayoshi Aoyagi, with whom she has placed in six of seven. A place rebound is within reach if she begins cleaner.

Comments

Has been beaten over 12 lengths and over 11 lengths at her past two runs in 3yo A2 company at this venue, each time settling well back and never looking a winning factor. The class drop and a 1500m record that includes two wins are the positives, but she has been at long odds and will have to finish much closer to trouble the main hopes.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Recent form is hard to recommend, finishing second last at this track at her past two runs and fading late on both occasions, including when well held behind Solemn Parade last start. She has five career wins and has placed once from seven tries at this track and distance, but the current profile points to a sharp form turnaround being required.

Comments

Has been around the mark without winning, following a second to Savoca with a fourth behind Derma Nymph when near the top of betting in 3yo+ C2 company at this track. The return of Taiga Kurihara is a plus after two placings from two rides, and the class drop helps. Still, a 29-start maiden with nine placings profiles more safely as a place hope than a runner to take short odds about.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a strong first-up win at this track, scoring by two lengths in 3yo+ C2 grade after making up a stack of ground and beating Air Miani with something in reserve. She is second-up now, has already won at this venue and distance, and Masaya Matsudo stays aboard after winning on her only ride. That fresh win gives her the clearest recent form line and she looks well placed to repeat it.
