820m - 1400m

Comments

Went close at this track last start, finishing second in a C3 after travelling kindly behind the leaders and being beaten a neck by Siena Hope at generous odds. That was a sharp response to a plain second-last over 1400m, and the return to 820m clearly suited. She has placed five times from 16 at this track and distance without winning, so she profiles as a strong winning chance with one small conversion query.

Comments

Worked into fifth at this track last start in C2C3 grade but was still beaten six lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior was much weaker, finishing ninth and beaten out of sight after settling rearward. She has placed four times from 20 starts at this track, which gives her some minor appeal, but she must improve sharply at 820m to be more than a place hope.

Comments

Produced a sound fourth at this track last start in a C3, sitting just off the lead and working home evenly to be beaten four and a half lengths. She had been safely held the run prior, but her track-and-distance record is the key: two wins and three places from 13 starts. Having finished behind Lux Ange and Elegant Fleur recently, she still has ground to make up, but the set-up keeps her right in the race.

Comments

Has been well beaten at his past two starts, finishing last over this course in a C3 and beaten over 20 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. His previous run was similar, tenth and beaten over 16 lengths at long odds. The weight relief is some help, but he is unplaced in four starts at this track and distance and recent form leaves him hard to recommend.

Comments

Failed to finish off last start when eighth at this track in a C3, beaten six and a half lengths after being handy enough to the turn. His previous second to Spyware was more encouraging, when near the top of an open market and beaten two and a half lengths. He remains a 25-start maiden, though, and a repeat of the latest run would leave him short of the main chances.

Comments

Recent form reads poorly, with a second-last in C2 company last start after settling rearward and making no late impact, following a tenth at this track when beaten over 15 lengths. The class drop is relevant and Wataru Hirose is one of the leading jockeys at this track, while his overall record is sound enough. He is a place hope if those positives spark a turnaround, rather than a runner to declare on exposed recent form.

Comments

Ran sixth at this track last start, beaten just under four lengths, after coming from well back and making some ground without ever threatening. That followed another sixth, beaten just over seven lengths, so she has not been far enough into her races lately. The strong point is the rider-horse record, with three wins and two places from twelve, and her 820m record keeps her a realistic place chance.

Comments

Brings the clearest recent form, having finished second at this track in consecutive C3 runs, beaten a neck by Yakumo Dream then half a length by Kurino Awesome. She was near the top of betting last start and has placed in all three attempts at this track and distance. Being beaten favourite is the only small knock, but her consistency and suitability make her the runner to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a sixth in C2 grade at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths after lacking the dash to threaten. His start prior was a C3 win by a nose over Gray Rule, and he does have two wins and two placings from eight starts around 820m. First-up readiness is the unknown, but the track-and-trip record gives him place claims.

Comments

Has improved at her past two runs, finishing third at this track then second in C2 grade when beaten just under a length by Bellagio Abroad at big odds. She travelled well behind the leaders there and was only caught late. The concern is that she is still winless from seven starts and was big odds in both recent placings, so she must prove that form is repeatable against these.

Comments

Comes off a fighting C3 win at this track, leading and holding off Elegant Fleur by a neck after being near the top of betting. He had also closed hard for fourth behind Spyware the start prior, so the recent form has substance. The wide draw and tougher set-up temper the enthusiasm, but a veteran with two wins at this track and distance can still be competitive if things fall his way.

Has been safely held in two recent C2 runs at this track, finishing seventh last start when beaten nine and a half lengths by Mozu V after making no headway. The start prior was no stronger, beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. He has a win and two places from ten starts with Teppei Kotani, but his recent figures leave a fair bit to find.
