Comments

Has been safely held in recent C3 runs at this track, finishing seventh last start when beaten over 10 lengths by Smart Izanami after travelling close enough but offering little. The start prior was only fair as well, sixth and beaten just over six lengths by No Ten P Kan when unwanted in the market. Her old 1400m record is sound, but current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Comments

Produced one of the better recent efforts in this field two starts ago, closing strongly for third at this track when beaten a length and a half by Marble Tiswa at big odds. The follow-up sixth behind Nori Wood Tail was disappointing, as she raced handy enough but did not finish off. She is still winless from 11 starts, but her best recent figure puts her right in the winning mix.

Comments

Returns from a six-month spell after ending last preparation with a ninth at this track, beaten five and a half lengths by Angler when only fair through the line. Her run prior was much better, third behind Namura Olivia as an odds-on favourite after looming and fighting on. Still a maiden after 17 starts, but six placings and a useful 1400m profile keep her in the minor-money conversation.

Comments

Has been around the mark without quite putting the race away, finishing fourth to T O Robinson last start when beaten five and a half lengths after working home only fairly. That followed a third behind Warera Hoshinoko, beaten just under four lengths, so the recent pattern is honest rather than dominant. The returning rider has a good record on him, which helps his place prospects.

Comments

Returns after five weeks since a sound first-up fourth at this track, beaten just over five lengths by Win Solennel after making up good ground in the run home. She had earlier held fourth in C1 company behind Bellota, also beaten just over five lengths, which gives her form a little depth for this assignment. With one win at around 1400m and a leading rider booked, she can be a serious threat.

Returns from a five-month spell after a plain finish to last preparation, most recently sixth at this track and beaten over 17 lengths by Wakamiya Ilios at big odds. The run prior was more respectable when she worked home fairly for sixth behind Nishino Benitoite. A track-and-trip win and a good record with this jockey give her some support, but she profiles as a place hope first-up.

Could only work home evenly when fifth behind T O Robinson last start, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds. His previous effort was stronger, leading and only being run down late when second to Meisho Pisukari by just under a length. The veteran is proven at this track and distance, but he will have to recapture that sharper two-back run to be a serious factor.

Comments

Returns after five weeks off a much better effort at this track, finishing fourth and beaten a length and a half by Best Of King after having plenty to do and catching the eye late. The start prior was poor when last behind Lingus Warrior, but the latest run is the right reference point. He has placed often at this track and distance without winning here, yet brings the strongest recent closing form and rates the one to beat.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after two well-beaten C2 runs at this track, finishing sixth behind Never Say Goodbye and then sixth behind Victory Eye, beaten over 10 lengths and over 11 lengths respectively. He has a proven track-and-distance record and has won for this jockey before, but recent form before the break was flat and he will have to lift sharply fresh.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Has some weight relief and past track-and-trip form, but her recent C3 efforts have left her with too much to make up. She was fifth to Crucifer last start, beaten nine lengths despite picking up in the straight, after a second-last finish behind No Ten P Kan when she faded from a handy enough position. Long-odds market profiles underline the task, and others bring stronger claims.
