1400m - 1580m

Comments

Back after four weeks, she brings the best combination of class relief and proven suitability. Finished fifth in B4 at this track, beaten just under five lengths, after settling miles back and closing decently at big odds. The start prior in B3 over 1580m was plain, but three wins and nine placings from 23 track-and-trip runs, plus a strong record with Seigo Tsukamoto, make her the horse to beat.

Comments

Has been holding her form better than the finishing positions imply, beaten four and a half lengths in B7 over 1580m last start after settling rearward, and by the same margin in B5 grade the run prior. The market has missed her at recent runs, but she returns to a proven 1400m setup and recently had Chuwa Gift covered at this venue, so her winning claims are solid.

Comments

Back after four weeks, she has to be assessed more on her best track-and-trip work than her latest two finishes. She was sixth at this venue last start, beaten just under eight lengths at big odds, after being only fair through the line, and the previous B8 run was weaker again. Weight relief and a past win at this distance keep her in the place discussion, but she has to lift sharply to win.

Comments

Comes off two plain last-place finishes and has to turn things around quickly. She was tailed off in B8 at this track last start when unwanted in the market, following a B8C2 run where she was beaten over 15 lengths and never looked likely. The class drop and track-and-trip wins are positives on paper, but recent form leaves her hard to support.

Comments

Was safely held in B6 at this track last start, finishing second last and beaten nine and a half lengths after settling just off the lead at big odds. His previous fifth over 1580m had more substance, only two and a half lengths from Ziegfeld. Weight relief and a deep 1400m record give him a route into the placings, though a winning case requires a better finish.

Comments

Produced the most compelling recent peak of the second wave when runner-up in B6 over 1580m two starts ago, beaten a length by Ziegfeld at huge odds. Last start was only fair, fifth in B7 behind Dea Luce, but she comes back to a winning distance and has placed 12 times from 26 track-and-trip runs. With Isshin Matsumoto back aboard, she has a genuine winning chance.

Comments

Has useful track-and-trip credentials, with four wins and four placings from 27 attempts, but her latest form is difficult to sell as a winning profile. She was second last in B8 at this track, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds, after being well back and unable to make ground. The prior B7 run was a heavier defeat, so she is a minor chance only.

Comments

Has the back-class and long track-and-distance history to be respected at her right level, but recent efforts have been flat. She was seventh in B4 over 1580m last start, beaten nine lengths after settling handy and offering no challenge, and had already been beaten by Highest Rank at this venue. The class drop helps, yet others arrive in much better form.

Comments

Recent form is below the standard required, even allowing for the class drop. He was seventh in B8 at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths at big odds, after settling rearward, and the start prior was a second-last finish beaten over 10 lengths. His track-and-trip record is respectable, but he must find a much sharper finish.

Comments

Has stayed competitive without quite converting, finishing fifth in B8 at this track last start when beaten just under three lengths from a market position near the top of an open betting race. She was also fourth to Pep Talk the run prior, albeit beaten just over six lengths. Her track-and-distance record is useful, so she profiles as a sound place hope with some winning upside.

Comments

Has been tackling stronger grades but the margins make him difficult to recommend. He was fourth in B5 at this track last start yet beaten over 12 lengths, unwanted in the market and never able to make a serious impact from the rear. That followed a B1 seventh beaten over 11 lengths. The class drop is a help, but three unplaced track-and-distance runs leave him with plenty to prove.

Comments

Worked home from too far back when sixth in B8 at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by A Shin Jumble after never looking a winning hope. His previous third behind Pep Talk reads well for this level, and the Shin Higashikawa partnership has produced three wins and seven placings. He is a realistic place chance if close enough at the turn.
