Comments

Worked home soundly when fifth in a B2 over 1700m at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Comune on fast ground. Her stronger reference is the A5 third here two runs back, when near the top of betting and beaten two and a half lengths by Shuffle Girl. Back around 1500m, where she has three wins and three placings from nine tries, she looks well placed to hit back strongly.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker

Comments

Has put together consecutive seconds at this track, most recently beaten a length and a half by Hiraboku Hero in a B5 after tracking up and fighting hard. The run prior in B3 grade was also sound, just run down late by Kismet when starting at generous odds. He gets weight relief and is proven at this track and distance, so the veteran brings a solid winning case despite a long run without a victory.

Comments

Has been safely held at both recent runs, finishing second last in a B4 at this track when beaten just over nine lengths by Win Rise at big odds. Before that he was tenth at Urawa, beaten over 15 lengths by Beach Girl, again without making ground. The class drop is some help, but 24 starts around 1500m without a win leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Did return to the placings when second in a B6 at this track last start, but the margin was still nine lengths behind Armored Truck and she was at long odds. Her previous run was a plain ninth in B5 company after being swamped late. The weight relief and track-and-distance record keep her from being dismissed, but she will have to sharpen markedly to threaten the main chances.

Comments

Finished sixth behind Star Wood Tail in a B3 at this track last start, beaten over 10 lengths, though he did make late ground after looking out of play. His Kochi run prior had a similar shape, running on into sixth behind Chemin De Roi. The concern is clear: eight starts around 1500m for no wins or placings, so he appeals more as a minor-money hope than a winning threat.

Comments

Made some late ground when sixth in a B4 at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths by Win Rise after being unwanted in the market. That was a better effort than her previous fifth in A5 grade, where she was beaten over 12 lengths and never looked likely. With seven unplaced runs at this venue, she requires a clear step forward to be competitive here.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a first-up fifth at Kasamatsu over 1800m, where he battled on and was beaten just under four lengths by First Boy. His distance profile is the key positive, with two wins from three starts around 1500m, and he also has a solid overall strike-rate. With that run under the belt, he is a credible place chance if he lifts off the fresh effort.

Comments

Consistent Kochi form earns respect, with a second to Al Malikat Saba last start and a third to Steve Barows before that when well-supported favourite. He kept grinding last time rather than quickening sharply, which points to a dependable place profile. First look at this track is the unknown, but three wins and seven places from 21 starts in the past 12 months give him each-way substance.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain first-up seventh at Nakayama Dirt in ALLOW grade, beaten over 11 lengths by Your Felicity and only fair through the line. His previous form was more competitive, including a Mdn third behind Takeru Musashi when near the top of betting. He has placed at both tries around 1500m, but remains a maiden and profiles as an outside place hope.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break with a strong track-and-distance profile, having won four and placed five times from ten starts at this exact set-up. She ended her last preparation with a fifth over 2000m at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Daita Elysion after making late ground, and had been fourth the run before. Fresh fitness is the question, but her local record gives her a genuine place chance.

Comments

Recent Mombetsu sprint form has been short of the required level, finishing eighth behind Lapillus Imeru last start after travelling just off the lead and failing to quicken. His previous fifth behind Yoshino Kamuy was similar, with market respect but no finish. He does have two wins from four starts around 1500m, yet this first look at the venue demands a firmer response.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Resumed in dominant style at this track, winning a B3 by two and a half lengths from Long Tone after firm support into very short odds-on territory. He had also won his previous start at this venue, and the broader record is outstanding: eight wins from nine starts, four from four at this track and distance, and six from six with Katsuto Maruno. From that base, he is clearly the horse they have to beat.
