Comments

Has finished last at both runs this campaign and there was little to encourage last start, beaten over 15 lengths behind Sayuribana at this track after being well back and making no impression. The start prior was no better in A3 company over 1200m, beaten over 18 lengths at long odds. With no placing from four tries at this track and distance, a major form reversal is required.

Comments

Found the latest contest tougher when fifth at this track, beaten six and a half lengths by Sayuribana after being sent around at generous odds. His previous B3 win is more relevant, leading and holding Quattro Sauvage by a neck, and the record of five wins and 13 places from 27 starts at this track and distance keeps him in the mix. Solid place claims, but he must rebound to win.

Was fourth behind Sayuribana at this track last start, beaten six lengths after being near the top of betting and racing close enough to have her chance. The start prior reads better, a third in A3 grade behind Garcon Manque when odds-on and beaten a length and a half. Four wins from 11 starts around 1000m and a prior win for Tatsuya Watanabe leave her a genuine placing hope.

Comments

Has been costly for punters at his past two, but the form is still sound: third in B3 grade behind Animal Fruits last start after being a prohibitive odds-on favourite, and a neck second to Nishiken Cabal the run prior. He now eases into A4 and his six wins and eight places from 18 tries at this track and distance are hard to ignore. Genuine each-way chance, though not bulletproof.

Comments

Has filled second at both recent runs, the latest when well-supported favourite and beaten three lengths by Sayuribana at this track. His previous A3 second behind Trevena was stronger, beaten only a neck after travelling well and picking up sharply. Three wins and four places from nine starts at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Yamato Ishikawa, make him a serious winning threat.

Bounced back sharply at big odds last start, winning a B3 at this track by a length from Misodoremi after settling midfield and sticking on. That followed a fifth behind Nishiken Cabal, where she made ground from well back but was unwanted in the market. The track-and-distance record is useful, but she has to prove that latest win was no one-off against stronger winning profiles.

Was second last behind Sayuribana at this track a fortnight ago, beaten just over nine lengths after racing handy and fading late. The start prior was more competitive in A1 grade when fifth to Trevena, beaten three lengths, and she does have four wins and two places from 14 starts at this track and distance. Even so, the latest run leaves her with plenty to find.

Arrives in excellent order after beating Mana Alii by three lengths at this track last start, with the margin backed up by the way she kept finding late. Her previous A3 second to Garcon Manque was also strong, beaten a length while respected in betting. Five wins and three places from eight starts at this track and distance, plus Genta Ochiai back aboard, give her a powerful case as the main danger.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Returns from a lengthy spell with a nine-race winning streak behind him, most recently beating Excellen Arthur by a length at Saga as an odds-on favourite. The start prior was even more decisive, a five-length COND win over King Caviar, and Shoma Kanayama has won nine from ten aboard him. His 1000m record is less dominant than his overall profile, but winning habit makes him the runner to beat.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Was sixth behind Sayuribana at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after coming from well back and never really threatening. The start prior was a plain second last in A3 grade over 1200m, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds after offering little. A past placing at this track and distance is only minor comfort, and he must find a sharper finish.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
