Comments

Worked home from a long way back when sixth behind Omi Cherry in a C3C4 at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths at long odds. That was a better finishing effort than his second last to Melior Via at the start prior, when beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. His track-and-distance record offers some substance, but he has to lift sharply to trouble the main chances.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Finished sixth behind Saimon Nice Run in C3 company at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after settling rearward at generous odds. She had made solid inroads from well back when fourth to Angel Roll the run before, but she was also beaten by Marino Stir Heart and Toruk Makto in that line. A previous track-and-distance win helps, although the latest effort makes this a difficult assignment.

Comments

Has been safely held in her past two, finishing eighth behind Gaya's Base at this track last start when beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The start prior was only fair as well, seventh behind Suzu Robinson and beaten five lengths after being unwanted in the market. She owns two wins at around this distance, but current form gives her a fair gap to bridge.

Comments

Brings the strongest overall profile after back-to-back placings at this track, most recently third behind Ten X in C3 grade when beaten three lengths as a short odds-on favourite. She was also third to Angel Roll the start prior, beaten two lengths, and her one win and two places from three starts at this track and distance are a key positive. With weight relief and consistent form, she sets the standard.

Comments

Was disappointing as a dominant odds-on favourite last start, finishing seventh behind Tony Oceans at this track over 1200m after being run down late. Her previous second to Melior Via, beaten a length, was stronger and showed she can sustain a handy run. The first attempt around 1000m is the query, but her record with Yuki Miyauchi keeps her in the place mix.

Finished fourth behind Sucrerie at this track last start, beaten a length and a half as short odds-on favourite after travelling close enough but failing to go on. The start prior was better, a narrow second to Queen's Tampopo in C3 grade after looming strongly. She is one win and one place from three at this track and distance, so she remains a genuine minor-money player.

Arrives in solid order after winning a C4 at this track last start, finishing strongly to beat Herb Dorer by a head after settling midfield. He had also run third to Daiyu Saltare at the start prior, beaten just over three lengths. His two wins and four places from seven starts at this track and distance read well, though he profiles more as a reliable place chance than a dominant winning hope.

Comments

Closed strongly for second behind Ten X in C3 grade at this track last week, beaten a length and a half, and that form is valuable given he beat Toruk Makto home. His previous fifth to Meisho Gekiha over 1600m had merit at big odds, but this shorter, proven set-up looks the better fit. With weight relief and one win and three places from nine at the track and distance, he is a serious winning threat.

Comments

Has been hard to fault without winning, finishing second at this track in each of her past two starts and beaten a length both times. She was short odds-on when runner-up to Steel Amber last week, but the prior second to Angel Roll also reads well and she beat Toruk Makto in that race. A strong track record and Yamato Ishikawa aboard keep her right among the winning chances.

Comments

Produced a clear peak last start, winning a C4 at this track by two and a half lengths from Chogolisa after being sent out favourite. That was a sharp rebound after failing to finish behind Gaya's Base the start prior, so there is a volatility factor in her form. Her overall record of one win and two places from 16 starts is modest, meaning she has to repeat that latest figure to threaten again.

Charged home to win a C4 at this track last start, beating Hashire Ozakisan by a length after travelling well into the race. That followed a big-odds second to Tomono Tatsu Mi, beaten a head, so her latest form is heading the right way. The broader record at this track and distance is only two wins from 30 starts, but recent improvement gives her genuine each-way claims.

Ran better than her price suggested last start, finishing fifth behind Sucrerie at this track when beaten just under two lengths at big odds after making ground from the rear. She had won a C4 at this venue the start prior, beating Army Look by a head as a well-supported favourite. Her record with Shinya Matsui is a plus, but others bring stronger recent winning profiles.
