Comments

Worked only fairly to the line when eighth in a B1 over 1400m at this track, beaten just under six lengths by Short Stop after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was also plain, finishing fifth to Win Aube by seven lengths at long odds. He has two placings from seven runs around 1700m and a solid enough career base, but recent form leaves him relying on improvement for a minor share.

Comments

Made some late ground from a long way back when sixth in a B1 over 1400m at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Short Stop despite being unwanted in betting. His prior fifth to June Kiitos was a much heavier defeat, and he has been unplaced at all 14 starts in the past 12 months. The return to 1700m has some record behind it, but he profiles as a place hope rather than a strong winner.

1400m - 1870m

Comments

Finished last in an A2B1 over 1870m at this track last start, never competitive and beaten out of sight by Ray And Dance after starting at big odds. That followed another last behind Win Aube, beaten over 20 lengths when he failed to improve. The class drop is some help and he has won around 1700m before, but current form is too poor to recommend with confidence.

Comments

Held her form with a second in a B2 at this track, working home evenly and finishing two and a half lengths behind Kimino Heart as one of the better-fancied runners. She had also run third to Dia Graf two back, so the recent pattern is honest. Six placings from 17 runs around 1700m underline the place profile, but turning the tables on Kimino Heart is the key challenge.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening in peak form, having won three straight and most recently putting four lengths on Grun Wald in a C1 at this track as a very short odds-on favourite. He had won by eight lengths the start prior, again in C1 grade, and owns two wins from three starts at this track and distance. With strong recent ratings and an excellent jockey record, he is clearly the horse to beat.

Won with authority in a B2 at this track last start, beating Moon Rey De O by two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite after extending cleanly late. She had been run down only late by Dia Graf two back, so the recent form reads well. Two wins and a placing from five starts at this track and distance give her a genuine base to challenge the favourite.

1400m - 1700m

Comments

Finished fourth to Kimino Heart in a B2 at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after failing to finish it off. His first two runs this campaign have been sound rather than threatening, with a fifth to Buchi A the run prior. Third-up fitness and weight relief are positives, but he is unplaced from three starts at this track and distance and has to find more late.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Dropped out to finish last in a B2 over 1230m at this track last start, well beaten by 25 lengths by Kohilo after giving away a big start. The previous run was also poor, finishing tenth behind Sun Uikyo and beaten over 15 lengths. He does return to a trip where he has some career background, but recent efforts and market indifference make him hard to support.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Was right there before weakening into fourth behind Ray And Dance in an A2B1 over 1870m at this track, beaten four and a half lengths. Two back he was much more competitive when second to Namura Jimmy, beaten half a length after leading late. His record at this track and distance is solid, but the latest run suggests he must finish stronger to threaten the main chances.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break with a strong overall profile, headed by 14 wins and 23 placings from 57 starts and an excellent record with Tomohiro Yoshimura. He was last seen finishing fourth at this track, beaten over 11 lengths by Cresco Yusha but picking up nicely in the straight. A better reference was his prior fourth to A Shin Animo, and his proven class keeps him high in calculations fresh.
