Comments

Was sound enough two starts ago when third in a B4 at this track, beaten four lengths as favourite behind Satono Altair, but the latest effort was a major backward step. He finished second last, beaten over 15 lengths by Armored Truck, and the run offered no clear excuse. The track-and-distance record is strong, with four wins and three placings around 1500m, so he remains a place hope rather than a runner to dismiss outright.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Had a sharp form swing last start, finishing last in a B7 at this track after conceding too much ground and never getting into the race. That was a long way below his previous second in a B4, where he tracked the speed and was beaten only a neck by Whittingham. He has placed six times from ten rides with Tsutsui Yusuke, so a rebound would put him back into the minor-money picture.

Comments

Has been holding his form without quite putting a race away, finishing fifth in a B4 at this track last start when beaten just under six lengths by Miracle Kaiser. The run prior was better, making ground in a B1 over 1700m and finishing fifth, beaten three lengths by A Shin Maqlube. With one win and five places from eleven at this track and distance, he profiles as a reliable place chance again.

Comments

Has been safely held at her past two starts, most recently seventh in a B7 at this track when beaten six and a half lengths at long odds behind Akatsuki Loterie. She was also fifth in a B4 the run prior, beaten just over six lengths after giving herself too much to do. Her track-and-distance place record offers some support, but she has to finish off more strongly to trouble the better chances.

Comments

Has the right historical profile for this race, but recent form has to be forgiven. She was tenth in a COND at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths after giving little late, and had been beaten over 11 lengths the start prior. The positives are weight relief, a strong 12-month placing record and two wins with nine places from 23 at this track and distance. If she finds her better form, she is a live winning chance.

Comes to her third run this campaign after a fair fifth in a B7 at this track, beaten four lengths by Akatsuki Loterie when keeping to the task late. Her first-up fourth in a B2 was better, beaten just over two lengths at big odds behind Personal Record, and that reads well for this grade. She also beat Cosmo Bell Tree at this track about a month ago, which adds substance to her claims.

Finished second at Sonoda last start, but the margin matters: he was beaten seven lengths by All The Rage at big odds. The start prior was weaker again when second last over 1230m at Sonoda, beaten over 14 lengths after settling well back. A leading jockey at this track is a positive for the new venue, but the recent figures leave him with a sizeable task.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing fifth in a C3 at Kochi, beaten just over six lengths by Happier Than Ever when near the top of betting. He had been fourth at Kochi before that, beaten eight lengths behind Extra Note, and neither run suggested he was ready to win. A class drop helps, but he has only one placing from seven previous starts around 1500m and must find more.

Comments

Improved last start when fourth in a B4 at this track, beaten just under four lengths by Miracle Kaiser after having the drop on the leaders but failing to go on. That was better than her previous eighth in a B8, where she was beaten over 11 lengths after being swamped late. She carries only 52kg and has two wins and three places from 13 at this track and distance, but the winning case still requires another step.

Comments

Second-up after finishing seventh in a B4 at this track, beaten six and a half lengths by Miracle Kaiser when she did not quicken. Her final run before the break was a fifth in a B1, beaten just under five lengths, so there is enough prior form to respect. The strongest point is her track-and-distance record, with three wins and one placing from nine, but she shapes more as an each-way hope from the wide draw.
