Comments

Was second last behind Rikea Samba over 1600m at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds, and the final effort offered little encouragement. The start prior was also plain when ninth at Mizusawa, beaten over 11 lengths. A return to 1400m and this venue suits on past results, but recent form leaves a substantial task.

Comments

Finished eighth behind Rikea Samba at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths after being big odds and unable to make ground. She had been fourth at Mizusawa before that, beaten just over eight lengths when near the top of an open market. Her 1400m record is respectable, but she has to rediscover sharper form quickly.

Comments

Now third-up after finishing sixth behind Matsurida Genkiman at Mizusawa, beaten just over seven lengths as one of the outsiders. Her previous run was another well-held fourth behind Takamaki Eight. She has a win from three starts overall, but is unplaced in two tries at this distance and must find a much stronger finish.

Comments

Ran fourth behind Ryuno Jet at Mizusawa last start, but was beaten over 10 lengths despite being near the top of betting. That followed a sixth at this track when sent out an odds-on favourite and failing to get into the race. Weight relief helps a little, yet the recent margins say he has a fair bit to turn around.

Was never in the picture when sixth behind Rikea Samba over 1600m at this track, beaten over 14 lengths after being unwanted in the market. The run prior was better, finishing second to Matsurida Genkiman at Mizusawa and working home evenly. He has placed twice around 1400m, but the latest effort demands a rebound.

Kept his unbeaten place record intact when third behind Rikea Samba at this track last start, beaten just under six lengths after being unwanted in the market. He had also been third at this venue the start prior when closer in betting. With one win and one placing from two runs around 1400m, he is a credible place hope again.

Extended his unbeaten record to three when beating Sei Carlton by just under two lengths over 1600m at this track as a short odds-on favourite. He had already beaten the same rival by four lengths at Mizusawa and has two wins from two starts around 1400m. With Toshiya Yamamoto unbeaten on him, he brings the strongest form and looks the horse to beat.

Finished fourth behind Matsurida Genkiman at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under six lengths after failing to quicken. His previous win at the same venue was far stronger, scoring by nine lengths as favourite from Mizusan Amont. With one win and two placings around 1400m, he can be competitive for a minor cheque.

Comments

Has been runner-up to Rikea Samba at his past two starts, most recently beaten just under two lengths at this track after working into the race well. He was a well-supported favourite when four lengths behind the same horse at Mizusawa before that. Three wins and three placings from six starts make him the main danger if the top pick gives him any opening.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after a determined head win at this track, where he beat Matsurida Genkiman in an open market. His earlier sixth at Morioka as odds-on favourite was below his best, but three wins and one placing from four runs at this venue is a strong body of work. Freshened and proven here, he stays right in the race.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Finished fourth behind Rikea Samba over 1600m at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths despite being near the top of an open market. He had been much sharper at Mizusawa before that, beating Seitei Souther by four lengths at very short odds. His track-and-distance record is reliable enough for place claims.

Comments

Was seventh behind Rikea Samba at this track last start, beaten over 16 lengths after settling just off the lead and offering no real excuse. The previous third at Mizusawa was more encouraging, beaten just over four lengths by the same winner. His one 1400m run produced a placing, but the latest result keeps the winning case limited.
