Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after charging home from well back for fifth at this track, beaten just under five lengths behind Great Stick when unwanted in the market. The run prior was only fair at 1200m, but her record over this track and distance is much stronger than her recent form reads. She still has to lift sharply to trouble the main chances.

Comments

Finished last at this track a fortnight ago, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Lapillus Imeru after settling midfield and failing to close off. That followed another last placing when beaten over 10 lengths by Yoshino Kamuy, also unwanted in the market. With no placing from 13 runs at this track and distance, she is hard to make a case for.

Arrives in winning form after taking out a C3 at this track by a head from Steel Spinel as a short odds-on favourite. The start prior was stronger, winning a C4 by five lengths from Othello after tracking the speed and putting them away. Two wins from two at the distance and a perfect top-three record at this venue give him a strong winning platform again.

Comments

Comes back to 1000m after finishing eighth over 1200m at this track, beaten just over six lengths behind Taisei Schalt at long odds. The run prior was much worse, beaten over 18 lengths by the same winner, so the recent form has obvious holes. His record around this trip and strong association with Yuki Miyauchi keep him in the place mix rather than the top winning bracket.

Missed by only a nose at this track last start after leading as favourite, with Meiner Genius just catching her late. Two back she led throughout in a C3 and beat Yamanin Aries by four lengths, again starting favourite and finding plenty. With three wins and eight placings from 13 attempts at this track and distance, she brings the most reliable winning profile.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth at this track, beaten just under five lengths behind Kia Kia at long odds, when he made solid inroads from well back. His previous run was similar, closing nicely for fifth behind Misodoremi. The 11-year-old has a deep track-and-trip record, so he can be included for exotics despite the fresh-up query.

Comments

Was beaten over 11 lengths when eighth over 1200m at this track last start, having settled back and never threatened behind Porickey. Two back in a B3 over 1800m, he was beaten over 19 lengths by Breakin' Away after giving away a big start. His past 1000m record reads well, but recent form leaves him with plenty to prove.

Finished last at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths behind Cilantro after making no impression late. She had also finished last the start prior behind Earth Calling, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in betting. The light weight helps only marginally, because her recent form and track-and-trip record point to a difficult assignment.

Never looked likely when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths behind Cilantro after being well back on the turn. His previous run was much the same, finishing second last behind Earth Calling at long odds. He is fourth-up and race fit, but an unplaced record at this track and distance keeps the bar high.

Was below her best when sixth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths behind Cilantro after coming from well back and never getting into the race. The start prior showed her better level, winning from Jasper Royal by a length and a half with something in hand. Five wins at this track and distance make her a genuine danger if she rebounds.

Was safely held when eighth at this track last start, beaten over 13 lengths behind Cilantro after settling just off the lead. Her previous fourth behind Earth Calling was more competitive, beaten just under four lengths after travelling handy. Four wins from 16 starts overall and a solid jockey record keep her in the place discussion, but she must bounce back.

Worked home well from a long way back to run third at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths behind Lapillus Imeru despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear step back towards her best after an eighth behind Earth Calling. Her win strike-rate is modest, but recent 12-month place returns make her a realistic minor hope.
