Comments

Went within a neck of winning at this track last start, finishing second to Proud Mary after working home evenly and being near the top of betting. That followed a sound fourth over 1600m, beaten three lengths by Philippine. He has a win and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance, has the winning rider back, and recently had Santo Graal and Velvet Hammer behind him. This is a strong winning profile.

Comments

Disappointed as a well-supported favourite last start, finishing eighth at this track and beaten just over six lengths by Cala Esmeralda with no clear excuse offered. She had been fourth over 1600m the run prior after leading and working home evenly. The light weight helps and she has placed four times from seven at this track and distance, but a 27-start maiden record keeps the ceiling low.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Was always well back when ninth over 1200m at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after conceding a huge start at long odds. The previous run was much worse, finishing last in a COND and well beaten by 26 lengths. He has placed once from two attempts around 1400m, but the recent form and market profile leave him with plenty to find.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing second in a COND over 1200m at this track, beaten five lengths by Bell Wood Moa after leading and battling away. Her previous fourth had some merit after making ground from a long way back. The class drop is a help, but she is unplaced in two runs at around 1400m and has to prove she can finish the race off at this trip.

Comments

Has been well held in two runs this campaign, finishing ninth over 1200m last start when beaten nine and a half lengths by Mild Magic after failing to finish it off. She was also last the run prior, beaten over 14 lengths by Koigoromo. A past win at this track and the winning rider returning are positives, but she is untried around 1400m and must lift sharply.

Resumed with an eighth behind Proud Mary at this track, beaten just under nine lengths after giving himself too much to do. The start before a break was also plain, finishing seventh and beaten over 11 lengths by Mikki Subaru. He has won at this venue and has placed once from nine at this track and distance, so there is some grounding, but the latest result leaves him looking more a place hope than a win play.

Comments

Worked home evenly when second over 1600m at this track last start, beaten a length by Uptown Girl at long odds. That was a clear lift on her prior fifth, when she was in touch but never threatened behind Philippine. The return to 1400m is the query given she is unplaced in seven attempts around the trip, yet she is fit, in form and close enough to be a major player.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a 12th in a COND over 1200m at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Girlish at big odds. She had also finished 12th the run prior, beaten over 12 lengths by Cobra Twist. A past win at this venue and a good record with this jockey offer minor encouragement, but her recent race form is hard to endorse.

Comments

Returns from a six-week let-up after finishing fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten six and a half lengths by Koigoromo when unwanted in the market. He was similar two back, sixth at big odds after conceding a big start. The return to 1400m is a positive, with two wins around the distance, and the winning rider is back aboard. He profiles as a sound place chance.

Comments

Improved into third behind Proud Mary at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after working home evenly at long odds. The run prior was poor over 1200m, but she is far better suited by this track and distance record, with one win and six placings from 24 starts. Aeno Judge had her measure recently, yet this setup gives her a genuine chance to press the favourite.

Comments

Finished fifth behind Cala Esmeralda at this track last start, beaten just over five lengths at long odds. Two back she was third in a COND over 1600m, though the eight and a half-length margin shows the winner had her covered. Her overall record of two wins and five placings from 17 starts is sound enough for this level, and she has the profile of a genuine minor-place contender.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break after finishing seventh in a COND over 1600m at this track, beaten just under seven lengths by Penny Fountain after fading in the run home. She had been ninth before that, beaten over 10 lengths by Vestalis. A placing from three starts at this track and distance gives her some base, but she resumes with form that looks more suitable for a placing than a win.
