Comments

Safely held in recent runs and was second last in a 3yo+ COND at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths after coming under pressure late. The start prior was no better when last behind Smile Moon in 3yo+ C2 company. His record at this track and distance is genuine, but recent form says he has to lift sharply.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Closed off without threatening when last behind Lot in a 3yo A3 at this track three weeks ago, beaten nine lengths after settling well back. The run prior was a much heavier defeat behind Champagne Star, so the form line is under pressure. She has won at this track and distance, but Diversity and Deep Effect have recent head-to-head edges over her.

Comments

Second-up now after finishing seventh behind Lot at this track, beaten just over eight lengths when well enough found near the top of an open market. He had also led when seventh to Garibata before that, but the broader profile is stronger than those finishes: two wins from five at this venue and a win at the distance. A return to his better track form makes him a serious winning player.

Struggled to finish off when second last behind Shark Shiny at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after looking in a position to challenge. His fourth to Smile Moon two back was sounder, and he owns two wins and two places from eight runs at this track and distance. That gives him some each-way shape, but he must rebound from a plain latest effort.

Finished sixth behind Best Belle Chic at this track last start, beaten six lengths, after a much wider-margin seventh to Jamboree Queen the run prior. The market has not been keen at either recent appearance, but Noboru Asano has a win from three rides on him and he has done his racing around this distance. More a place hope than a genuine winning threat on current form.

Comments

Comes through two consecutive thirds at this venue, with the better pointer being her close third to Onino Utage two runs ago when beaten just over a length. Last start she was third again behind Luna Cacao, albeit beaten over 11 lengths after settling back. Her overall place rate is strong and she has six placings from ten tries around 1500m, so she can hold a spot in the finish.

Comments

Has finished seventh at his past two starts at this venue, most recently behind Shark Shiny when beaten just over nine lengths after finding little from a striking position. He was also beaten just over eight lengths behind Sakura Sole the run before. The track-and-distance record is respectable and Taiga Kurihara knows him well, but current form is short of what is required.

Comments

Failed to back up her win when seventh behind Best Belle Chic at this track last start, beaten eight lengths and sent out among the outsiders. Two starts ago she came from a long way back to beat Gemstone Power by a neck in 3yo+ C2 grade, showing she can still produce the right finish. As a veteran with deep track-and-distance exposure, she is an outside place chance if that sharper version returns.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break off a dominant win at this track, where she beat Alm Lampsi by five lengths in a 3yo COND after unleashing a powerful finish. That followed a plain Hanshin Dirt maiden run, but her first try at this venue was a clear step in the right direction and she is one from one at the distance. From the leading stable, she sets the standard if ready to reproduce that last-start surge.

Comments

Worked home strongly for fifth behind Lot at this track three weeks ago, beaten just over seven lengths but making up ground from a difficult position. His previous second to Onino Utage was stronger, beaten a length after fighting on late at generous odds. He has never missed a place in four starts at this track and distance and has a favourable record with Tatsuya Nakajima, so he rates a major danger.
