Comments

Third-up now after a clear step forward when third at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Leviathan over 1800m after being near the top of betting. Her Hanshin Dirt debut in a NEWCOMER over 1400m was a distant fourth, but the latest run gives her the strongest current form in this field. From barrier 1, and with a track-and-distance placing already banked, she gets the right platform to break through.

Comments

Finished last at this track last start, beaten over 17 lengths by Naomiga Saikyo after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. Her debut at this venue was also well short of the mark, finishing second last in a NEWCOMER over 1400m at big odds. Race fitness is there third-up, but she has to find a major turnaround.

Comments

Showed a better finishing position at this track last start when fourth behind Naomiga Saikyo, though she was still beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and going around at long odds. Her Hanshin Dirt debut was tailed off in a NEWCOMER over 1400m, and she was well behind Joy The Moment there. Third-up fitness helps, but she profiles as a place hope rather than a strong winning threat.

Comments

Had her chance at this track last start, leading narrowly into the lane before tiring to finish seventh, beaten over 17 lengths by Naomiga Saikyo at generous odds. That followed a second-last debut at Kyoto in a NEWCOMER over 1600m, beaten over 18 lengths. She is fitter third-up, but the recent margins leave her with a steep task.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after a debut sixth at Fukushima, beaten four and a half lengths by Cirque Du Mars after looming up and not quite finishing the race off. That was her only start and came at long odds, so improvement has to be taken on trust, but the margin was competitive enough for this maiden. With Yutaka Take taking the ride, she has the right profile to be a serious winning chance fresh.

Comments

Second-up from a debut ninth at this track, where she was beaten over 15 lengths by Hamed Style after settling with the job ahead and making no headway. That form reads plain, and she was at long odds, but the class drop is a small help for a filly still learning on her second race-day outing. She has to improve sharply to win, although a minor placing is not beyond her in this line-up.

Comments

Resumes after three months away following an 11th at Hanshin Dirt on debut, where she was well beaten by 25 lengths behind Desert Candle and failed to improve from well back. She has not raced at around 1800m before, which adds another query, although being a half sister to Group 1 winner Glint Of Hope gives some longer-term interest. On race evidence, she must lift markedly.

Second-up after a debut 16th at Kyoto, beaten over 14 lengths by Sehzade after settling miles back and failing to improve. She was unwanted in the market, and the distance record says this is her first try around 1800m. The class drop is some help, but she has to show far more before being considered a serious factor.

Comments

Resumes after three months away having ended her first campaign with an eighth at Sapporo, beaten eight and a half lengths by Romano Verite at big odds, although she kept going well enough after being out of winning contention. Her debut there was better, finishing sixth in a NEWCOMER over 1500m and beaten just under three lengths after being near the top of betting. A return to that debut level puts her in the minor-money mix.
