Comments

Finished last at this track three weeks ago in a C3, beaten over 12 lengths by Rhizanthella after being given every chance and offering little late. The start prior was similar, finishing sixth behind Allonsy Cafe after being unwanted in the market. He has placed three times at this track and distance, but the recent figures leave him with a steep improvement task.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a disappointing ninth at this track, beaten six and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite behind Blue Brave. Her previous third, beaten half a length behind Ashante Girl, reads much better, and she has one win and six placings from 16 starts at this venue. With F Komaki back aboard, she has the right profile to rebound strongly.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after a flat eighth at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths by Yellow Cab when sent out an odds-on favourite and unable to make ground. The run prior was far stronger, finishing second to Noble Liner after being run down late. His 1400m record is extensive enough to respect, but he profiles more as a place chance fresh.

Comments

Produced one of her better recent efforts when fourth behind Allonsy Cafe at this track, beaten three and a half lengths despite starting at long odds. Two back she worked home well for sixth behind Isshin, so there is enough current form to take seriously. The lack of a win from 34 starts is the obvious knock, but she brings race fitness and a competitive recent rating.

Returns from a lengthy spell with the strongest course-and-distance profile in the race, including three wins and four placings from 13 starts at this track and trip. She was fourth behind Meisho Rondo at her final run before the break, beaten a length and a half after racing right in contention. With a solid overall record and proven 1400m credentials, she is the one they have to beat.

Comments

Dropped right out when last behind Ii Vision Star in C2C3 company over 1230m at this track, beaten over 15 lengths after settling a long way back. The prior sixth in C3 grade was better but still only fair, and the market has shown little confidence in recent starts. The class drop and track-and-trip win help, but she has to lift sharply.

Comments

Was last again at this track in C3 grade, beaten over 14 lengths by Bloom Waltz after settling handy and failing to quicken. That followed a well-beaten last over 1700m behind A P Poetess, so the current form is hard to support. His old track-and-distance record gives some background credit, but recent efforts make him difficult to recommend.

Finished sixth first-up at this track behind Donald Poker, beaten seven and a half lengths after being in touch and only working home fairly. His previous run before the break was another sixth behind Schleife, where he did not quicken. He has won twice at this track and distance, but his current form has to rise several lengths to trouble these.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Comes to her third run back after finishing seventh behind Groove Groove, beaten just under six lengths despite being near the top of betting. Her first-up run was much weaker, finishing second last and beaten over 14 lengths. She has placed four times from 17 starts overall and is fitter now, so a minor placing is within reach if she sharpens late.

Comments

Worked into the race before peaking on the effort when fourth behind Donald Poker at this track, beaten six and a half lengths. The run prior was a fifth behind High Love Henin, so her recent form is at least steady for this grade. A past track-and-trip win gives her some grounding, though her low winning strike rate keeps her in the place bracket.
