Prize Money: $38,208

SHANGHAI HONEY (6) Back from a spell. Good win by 1L last time at Monbetsu and good career start. On an upward trajectory in recent races. Will give a big sight. IVY FREYJA (3) Resuming. Placed 3rd last run here. Jockey Akira Harita and trainer Hiroyuki Mogi are a combination worth following. Honest enough customer who is strongly placed. KIYOSHI KONOYORU (5) Was competitive when 2nd last run at the track. Shows good early pace. Has the ability to figure. KUMASAN FAMILY (8) Unsatisfactory performance when 7th last time here. Jockey Ryou Nobata and trainer Yoshihisa Suzuki form a proven partnership. Goes very close.

Comments

Has been well held at her past two starts, finishing second last at Funabashi when beaten over 20 lengths after giving ground late. She was also second last at this track the run prior, beaten over 18 lengths and unwanted in the market. Weight relief helps and she has placed at this track and distance, but recent form leaves her as only a rough minor hope.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third at this track, although the margin tells the true story as he was beaten a long way by Sei Leger. He led two back and still faded to sixth, beaten over 10 lengths, with market respect both times. Has one placing from three tries around 1400m, but the recent figures leave him with plenty to find.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after two honest early runs at this venue, including a third over 1600m when beaten a length and a half by Gold Carrera at big odds. Her debut third behind Night Move was sound without showing a sharp turn of foot. With two placings from as many starts and Akira Harita back aboard, she profiles as a genuine place hope if ready to fire fresh.

Comments

Was safely held at Funabashi last start, finishing seventh and beaten over 10 lengths after settling a long way back and running on only mildly. His previous eighth at this track was weaker again, beaten over 17 lengths at long odds. The returning rider has placed on him before, but he must turn recent form around sharply.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up for her third run of the campaign after a much better second at this track, beaten four lengths by Up Up Up as a prohibitive odds-on favourite in a five-runner race. That was a clear lift from a debut where she finished a distant last, but the market expectation makes the defeat hard to ignore. She remains a sound place prospect.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after ending her last campaign in winning form at Mombetsu, beating Kikotsu by a length after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. Her previous second to Yamano Rickey was also solid, beaten just under a length as favourite. The 1400m is new, but her overall record and strong stable profile make her a major player fresh.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fifth at this track, beaten over 10 lengths by Yuyu Adonis after settling rearward. She was fourth here two back but still beaten over 13 lengths, and remains unplaced from three starts overall. Race fitness is on her side, but the form line has not yet shown enough depth.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up and has the profile to improve fourth-up, with her second to Allegro Vivace two starts back the key reference at this track. Her latest seventh behind Vuela Grande was plain on the margin, but she did work home fairly from a long way back. With Ryo Novata and Yoshihisa Suzuki both prominent at the venue, her best recent form gives her the right winning platform.
