LA JUERGA (9) has the most reliable exposed form, with placings at both starts and another solid third at Nakayama Dirt last time after being sent out odds-on. She did not win there, but she worked home well, has race fitness third-up and the returning rider angle adds to a strong winning case. LUZ DEL CAMINO (16) brings the other recent placing, having run second to Smart Bride at Nakayama Dirt, and his two-start profile leaves room to keep improving. SOTTO MATSUMOTO (1) was well found in an open market on debut and can be sharper second-up after fading late behind Night Pilot. SAIMON ORIENT (7) improved to fifth behind Alex K last start, beaten four lengths, and his race-fit profile gives him a genuine chance to close the gap again.

Held a forward enough spot on debut at Nakayama Dirt but could not finish it off, ending up seventh behind Night Pilot and beaten just over seven lengths. The market still gave her respect near the top of an open betting race, and she now has that race experience behind her. The 2yo NEWCOMER form was not a winning debut, but she has enough upside second-up to be a serious player.

Comments

Backs up quickly after finishing 13th at this track over 1600m, where he conceded a huge start and was never in the race. His debut at Sapporo Dirt was also poor, finishing a distant last in a small field after being unwanted in betting. Weight relief and a class drop help only slightly, and his first try around 1300m comes with a major form turnaround required.

Has been a long way off them in two starts, most recently tenth at Nakayama Dirt when beaten over 14 lengths after settling miles back. Her debut at Niigata Dirt was no better, finishing last and tailed off at big odds. Race fitness and a lighter weight are small positives, but the recent figures leave her with plenty to find.

Was unable to make any impression from well back when eighth at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten over 11 lengths behind Alex K. She had also been beaten over 14 lengths on debut at Fukushima Dirt, so there is not a strong recent platform. That latest run leaves her behind La Juerga and Saimon Orient on exposed form, and a clear lift is required.

Kept to the task on debut when fifth behind Night Pilot at Nakayama Dirt, beaten just over six lengths after starting as an outside chance in the betting. That was enough to put her ahead of Sotto Matsumoto in the same race, and the 2yo NEWCOMER experience should not be wasted. She still has to find a sharper finish, but she profiles as a sound minor hope.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth at Niigata, beaten six and a half lengths at big odds when in touch but unable to threaten. His debut fourth at Fukushima was better on paper, though he was still beaten just over six lengths and unwanted in betting. If he can return closer to that first-start effort, he can work into the minor-money mix.

Made some progress at Nakayama Dirt last start, finishing fifth behind Alex K and beaten four lengths after settling back. His debut at Niigata had more of a learning-run look, as he was well back before making late ground without threatening. Third-up and race fit, he has the right profile to keep building and sits among the better winning chances.

Produced a better effort second time out when fourth behind Alex K at Nakayama Dirt, beaten three and a half lengths after being in touch and working home fairly. He had been safely held on debut at Niigata, but that latest run also had him ahead of Saimon Orient. Race fitness is in his favour, although he still has to turn a solid placing shape into a winning one.

Has placed at both starts and brings the most dependable profile in the race, the latest a third behind Alex K at Nakayama Dirt when beaten just over three lengths. She was turned over as an odds-on favourite there, but worked home well and again showed she belongs in this company. With the winning rider back and race fitness on her side third-up, she sets the standard.

Returns from a four-month break after a plain debut at Fukushima, where she finished ninth behind G T Maika and was beaten over 14 lengths at long odds. She was only fair through the line there, so the exposed race form is thin. This looks a more suitable assignment on paper, but she will have to return a much stronger racehorse to trouble the main chances.

Finished fourth on debut at Nakayama Dirt, but the margin tells the truer story as she was beaten over 20 lengths behind Yu Like Star after settling rearward. She was unwanted in the market there and did not finish close enough to make that placing look strong. Second-up improvement is possible, yet she has a sizeable gap to bridge.

Comments

Was fourth at Nakayama Dirt last start, but that came in a nine-horse field and he was still beaten nine and a half lengths after racing handy and failing to go on. His debut at this venue was much weaker, finishing tenth and well beaten at long odds. The stable profile is respected, but the race evidence says he has a fair bit to find.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after a disappointing debut at Niigata Dirt, where he had the drop on the leaders but gave little and was well beaten by 24 lengths behind Jasper Trueno. He did start as an outside chance in that market, so there may have been some expectation. Even so, he must show a far more genuine finish to justify a minor ticket.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing tenth at Niigata on debut, beaten over 11 lengths behind Top Layer after settling rearward and making no late impression. She was an outside chance in betting, so she was not completely overlooked. The class drop helps, but she has not raced around 1300m and must show more second-up to be a serious place factor.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Comes back in six days after finishing last at Tokyo, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds after settling rearward. His debut at Niigata was also safely held, beaten over 13 lengths when never likely. First-time blinkers offer a possible spark and he is fitter third-up, but the exposed form leaves him facing a tough assignment.

Comments

Ran second behind Smart Bride at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten seven lengths but still putting a placing on the board at only his second start. His debut fourth behind Pod Beat gave him a base to build from, and he now arrives third-up with the returning rider a positive. The margin last time keeps him from being a standout, but he is a genuine winning chance.
