Prize Money: $55,576

SAIKAN SANYU (7) Shot clear to win by 6L last run around here. Has hit top form this preparation with 2 wins from as many starts. Can have an impact. HUBSCH (9) Was fighting out the finish when winning last start at this track and form has been improving over recent runs. Will be positive in the run early. Serious player. MR JOHN (5) Ran 4th last time at the track. Has the talent to rebound quickly. Should muster plenty of early speed. Jockey Shou Yoshii and trainer Junpei Morishita are a strong team. Goes very close. MIRAIENO HERO (6) Moderate showing when 9th last start here. Has shown early pace in races to date. One to watch and an each way chance.

Comments

Finished tenth at this track over 1200m last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after giving away a big start in the lane and never getting into the race. The start prior was no better when ninth and beaten over 15 lengths, despite being an outside chance in the betting. He has won at this venue, but 1400m is new ground and recent form leaves him with plenty to find.

Comments

Was again safely held when ninth at this track three weeks ago, beaten six and a half lengths after settling just off the lead at long odds. Two back he was sixth, beaten over 10 lengths, and the market has offered little encouragement at his past couple. His overall record is moderate and he must produce a much stronger late response to trouble the main chances.

Comments

Led at this track over 1200m last start and was beaten just over four lengths into eighth, which was more competitive than his big-odds profile suggested. His Sonoda run prior was plain, but he has three wins and four placings from 15 starts at this distance, so today's trip is within his range. Recent winning form is absent, yet he has enough depth to be a minor-player candidate.

Comments

Settled rearward and made no impression when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. The run prior at Kasamatsu was also only fair, finishing sixth in a B4 and beaten over 10 lengths after being unwanted in the market. He has handled this distance before, but the current form line points to a difficult assignment.

Comments

Picked up well when fourth at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths, which was a clear step back in the right direction at the second run of the campaign. His previous 1600m effort was poor, but he now comes to a trip where he owns one win and two placings from five track-and-distance attempts. Third-up and with that record, he profiles as a genuine place chance.

Comments

Was last and well beaten at this track three weeks ago, and that followed an alarming fade-out after leading when beaten a long way the run prior. He is a track-and-distance winner and has a good record with this jockey, but those positives are outweighed by two heavy defeats this campaign. A major form turnaround is required.

Returns from a two-month break after a dominant win at this track, where he was heavily supported into very short odds-on territory and beat Greatest Work by six lengths. That followed another six-length COND win over Little Devil, again with plenty in hand. Three wins from three starts at this track and distance is a compelling platform, and he sets the standard again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth in a C1C2 over 2000m at Urawa, beaten six and a half lengths while near the top of an open market. His previous fourth there was stronger, beaten two and a half lengths at generous odds. The class drop and return to a trip where he has won both help, though his recent record still leaves him as a place-leaning chance.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening in excellent form, having won a COND at this track last start as odds-on favourite, working home over the top to beat Shine Blast by half a length. He was beaten only a head by Gerbera Flavor the run prior and has missed the top two just twice in eight starts. With proven track and distance form, he is a strong winning danger.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace
