Comments

Finished fifth in a C2 over 1580m at this track last start, but was beaten over 14 lengths after conceding a big start and starting at long odds. His previous seventh behind Hollyhock was better, beaten four and a half lengths after making late ground. The class drop and track-distance record give him some background appeal, but he has to settle closer and improve sharply.

Comments

Worked home evenly for second in a C4 at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Danglard at generous odds. That was a clear lift on his prior fifth behind Yamanin Eidolon, when he was never a factor after getting too far back. He has won at this track and distance and Tsutsui Yusuke has a solid record on him, so the latest run gives him the right platform to go one better.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Was well held when seventh behind Good Romance last start, beaten over 10 lengths after giving away too much ground, so that run has to be treated with caution. The run prior is the key reference, when she finished strongly to win a C4 at this track from Celtic Heart's. With 52kg and a good record with Iguchi Yuki, she can rebound strongly if she finds that earlier finish.

Has been safely held at her past two, finishing seventh in a C3 at this track last start and beaten over 12 lengths after failing to make ground. Two back she was ninth behind Convex in a B5, beaten just under six lengths. The class drop is some help, but she was also beaten by Holo Kiki recently and will have to lift markedly.

Comments

Back after four weeks following a seventh over 1580m at this track, beaten over 11 lengths after settling too far away and never looking likely. The counterpoint is her narrow C7 win two starts ago, when she beat Nihonpiro Vesper after being well found in betting. She is two from three at this track and distance, but recent form still asks for a much sharper finish.

Comments

Has been knocking on the door with two straight seconds over 1580m at this track, most recently beaten a length by Morning Fuji in a C5 after sitting handy and fighting on. He was pipped by a neck in a C3 the start prior despite being unwanted in the market. His 1400m record is strong enough to keep him in the finish, though others appeal more as winners.

Comments

Worked home fairly from well back when sixth in a C4 at this track last start, but she was beaten just over seven lengths after starting near the top of betting. Her previous second-last behind Bellagio Channel was much weaker, beaten over 12 lengths. Three wins in the past 12 months keep her in the wider mix, but she must recover her better edge.

Continued her consistent run when second in a C3 at this track last start, beaten a length and a half by Orchid Lady after being right in the contest. She had also run second behind Bellagio Channel the start prior, picking up well late. One win from 16 at this track and distance is offset by eight placings, and her record with Seigo Tsukamoto makes her a strong winning hope.

Made late ground from an impossible spot when fifth in a C4 at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths behind Danglard. His prior fifth behind Smart Judy was sounder, beaten just over three lengths in a COND. Four wins and seven places from 36 starts at this track and distance give him each-way substance, but the winning spark has been missing lately.

Comments

Has to turn around two plain efforts, the latest a second-last behind Palette Flavor when beaten over 13 lengths at long odds. She was sent out favourite two starts ago but could only run seventh behind Smart Judy after giving away too much ground. Her recent-form rating and stable profile offer some hope, but she looks more a place contender than a winning push.

Finished last behind Palette Flavor at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths at long odds after making no headway. The run prior was also plain, finishing seventh behind Pep Talk and beaten just over eight lengths. She has past track-distance winning form and the winning rider returns, but current performances leave her with a difficult task.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after ending his last campaign with a fifth at this track, beaten over 12 lengths by Bijin Hakumei after settling handy and failing to quicken. He had won the run prior, beating Pep Talk by just under a length, and his track-distance and jockey records are both strong. First-up, he has the profile to improve, but the last run keeps him a cautious proposition.
