Comments

Led into the straight at this track last start and boxed on for fourth over 1000m, beaten two and a half lengths by Itemae Dasen. That was a better effort than her sixth at Mizusawa, where she was at long odds and never really threatened. She has won at this venue, but the 1200m record is thin with one placing from 13 tries, so she profiles more as a minor-place hope than a winning target.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Improved noticeably third-up when third at this track over 1000m, beaten a length and a half after settling handy and working home well. The Mizusawa run prior was plain, but she returns to a much stronger set-up at 1200m, where she has three wins and one placing from five starts at this track and distance. With a proven jockey pairing back aboard, she rates a genuine winning chance.

Comments

Has been well held at her past two starts, finishing second last at this track when beaten over 12 lengths after sitting behind the leaders and failing to run on. She was also second last at Mizusawa and unwanted in the market there. Her overall record has merit, but being unplaced in nine starts at this track and distance makes this a demanding assignment.

Comments

Tracked up close enough at this track last start but could not launch a serious challenge, finishing second last and beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. His Mizusawa fifth beforehand was also safely held. A past record at 1200m gives him some background credit, yet current form leaves him with plenty to find against sharper rivals.

Comments

Was only battling from midfield when sixth at this track over 1000m last start, beaten just under six lengths by Itemae Dasen. That followed a last placing at Mizusawa where she made no impression late. The light weight and her 1200m record are positives, but her latest form has been too plain to rate her as a major player.

Comments

Back after five weeks since finishing sixth in a C1 at Ohi, beaten just under ten lengths, but he did close off from a seemingly hopeless position. His previous run was a COND win at Ohi as favourite, beating Tokio Gorin by half a length. The distance suits, with one win and four placings from five starts around 1200m, so he remains a legitimate place chance if he settles within reach.

Comments

Was beaten just over a length when fifth at this track over 1000m last start, close enough on the turn but unable to quicken. Her Mizusawa fourth two back had more late merit, and she has a long, reliable association with this jockey. She has won at this track and distance, so while the winning edge is not obvious, she is a credible exotics runner.

Comments

Finished second last at Mizusawa in B1B2 grade last start, beaten nine and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. The run prior was also well beaten over 1400m in C1 company. Her track-and-distance record is a saving grace, but the recent form line is too weak to recommend with confidence.

Comments

Brings strong this-track-and-distance credentials, with five wins and one placing from seven attempts, and she reunites with a jockey who has won eight times on her. She was a beaten favourite when fourth in B2 grade at this track last start, but had been beaten only a neck at Mizusawa the run prior. Back to 1200m, her best form makes her a serious winning threat.

Comments

Charged home from a long way back to finish second at this track over 1000m last start, beaten just over a length by Itemae Dasen and ahead of Takamaki Four. She had also picked up well at Mizusawa despite only finishing sixth. With two wins from four starts at this track and distance, she has enough substance to be a genuine place hope again.

Comments

Kept on for fifth at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Itemae Dasen, after settling well back. His Mizusawa third two runs ago was better, particularly at big odds, and his track-and-distance record is solid for an older campaigner. Even so, he was beaten by Takamaki Four last time and will have to find a sharper finish.

Comments

Has been rock-solid through this campaign, placing at his past four runs and again finishing third at this track over 1400m last start. He worked home evenly there, and the drop back to 1200m is backed by seven wins and seven placings at the distance. With three wins and eight placings from 15 starts under this jockey, he brings the right blend of consistency and suitability to take beating.
