LA GATTA REALE (6) Missed by a narrow margin last time at Hanshin. Will be hitting the line strongly. Been in the placegetters each start this preparation. Hard to overlook. CONCERNO (9) Narrowly beaten last start at the track. Possesses very good finishing speed. Has run into the money at every start this campaign. Is in good order and can run well. FUKUNO BLUE SKY (1) First up after a break. Hit the line well when 3rd beaten by 2L last start at Sapporo and was on debut last time. Expected to be flashing home. Goes very close. DADDY'S REGALIA (8) Back from a break. Peaked on the run when 4th last time at Niigata and was a debutant last start. Could run into the placings.

Comments

Back from a three-month break after a sound debut third in a NEWCOMER at Sapporo, where he finished strongly and was beaten two lengths by Tsukimi on good ground. That came when an outside chance in the betting, so there was more merit in the performance than the market expected. Drawn barrier 1 and already placed from his only start, he has the right profile to return as a genuine winning hope.

Back from a three-month break with three unplaced runs behind him and the latest was a plain ninth on Chukyo Dirt, where he was at long odds and finished well held behind Aureate. His previous run was also only fair, beaten eight and a half lengths by Smart Potion. The US$200,000 yearling purchase has to show far more than he has produced so far.

Comments

Second-up after finishing second last at this track over 1200m, beaten just over nine lengths and unwanted in the market. Her debut at Chukyo was no better, finishing 11th in a NEWCOMER after settling a long way back and making no impression. The step to 1600m is untried and she must produce a sizeable turnaround to threaten.

Back from a three-month break after an unplaced debut in a Sapporo NEWCOMER, finishing eighth and beaten over 14 lengths behind Blue Jay. She gave away a big start in the straight and was never in the picture, with the market also treating her as a long-odds chance. The grade looks a little kinder, but the debut form leaves her with a clear improvement task.

Finished fifth on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten four lengths by Bright Script after settling rearward from a big field. That was a fair first outing given she was unwanted in the market, and she now carries only 51kg. The rise to 1600m is new, so while there is some scope to improve, she still has to bridge a margin on the better exposed chances.

Returns from a five-week let-up after going within a nose of winning at Hanshin, where she was near the top of betting and was pipped by Mariandel. Her debut second at Chukyo was similarly strong, again beaten a nose after letting down nicely in a NEWCOMER. Placed twice from two starts at this distance and now third-up, she sets the standard and looks ready to convert.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing ninth on debut in a Hanshin NEWCOMER, beaten four and a half lengths by Ghibli. She failed to finish it off there, but the margin was not severe for a first start and she was not a huge price. The ¥17.6m yearling purchase can improve with race experience, though she profiles more as a place hope than a clear winning threat.

Back from a three-month break after leading and finishing fourth in a Niigata NEWCOMER over 1800m, beaten five and a half lengths by Cestino. He worked home evenly rather than quickening, and the 1600m is new, but that debut gave him a workable base. With Mirai Iwata the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track, he has enough positives to be a genuine place chance.

Has been highly reliable in two starts, backing up a debut third at Niigata with a second at this track last start when beaten a neck by Batik. She was also placed at this distance both times and now reaches the third run of her campaign. The ¥101.2m purchase has the right blend of consistency, course experience and ratings strength to be a major winning chance again.

Finished sixth on debut in a NEWCOMER at this track, beaten nine lengths by Cutie Bond after being at long odds and only fair through the line. She stays at 1600m after that first run but remains unplaced from one start at both the track and distance. There may be natural improvement second-up, yet the debut figure leaves her with work to do.
