Comments

Has been well held at both recent starts, finishing seventh at this track last start when beaten eight and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. The start prior was weaker again, when tailed off at long odds. His record around 1500m includes plenty of minor placings, but current form leaves him with a large task to turn that into a winning threat.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker

Comments

Was second last at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths after being unable to make headway from the back. Her fourth here the run prior was sounder, though still beaten just over five lengths at long odds. The top-ranked track trainer is a positive, but she has to find a sharper finish to trouble the better-credentialled runners.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Comes through a poor last-start sixth of six at this track, beaten over 16 lengths after sitting just off the lead and offering no excuse. She was also tailed off the start prior, so the recent form reads poorly despite earlier track-and-trip credentials. If she can return to her better efforts she has an outside place hope, but that is a fair leap on the latest evidence.

Comments

Has finished fifth at her past two starts at this track, beaten just under six lengths on each occasion and going around at big odds. Last start she was only fair through the line, while the prior run came from a rearward position. She has placed at this track and distance before, but the lack of recent acceleration makes this a stern assignment.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after ending her last campaign with a third at this track, beaten three lengths, when respected near the top of an open market. Her start prior in B2 company was also competitive, finishing fourth and beaten just over two lengths. The 52kg helps, and two wins and three placings from seven starts at this track and distance make her a genuine place contender fresh.

Comments

Went very close at this track last start, finishing second and beaten a neck after being sent out an odds-on favourite. That followed a fourth here when he did not finish it off as strongly, so the winning edge remains the question. He can roll forward and his recent consistency is clear, but seven placings from 12 starts around 1500m points more to a solid place profile.

Comments

Dug in to win at this track last start, scoring by a neck as an odds-on favourite, and that followed a narrow second when beaten a head after being run down late. His season has been highly reliable and the record with Taiga Kurihara aboard is a strong plus. With five wins and five placings from 14 starts around 1500m, he is a major winning player again.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Kept his form ticking over when third at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths after tracking the leader and fighting on. He had been second the start prior, beaten a length and a half after being claimed late, so the recent form is honest. The veteran has one win and three placings from four starts at this venue, which keeps him right in the winning mix.

Comments

Lifted sharply second-up when third at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths after having a lot to do and coming home strongly. His return run was plain, but the latest effort showed the right improvement and he now reaches his third run back. He has placed eight times from ten starts at this track and distance, and that consistency makes him the one to beat.

Comments

Improved to fourth at this track last start, beaten just over four lengths after being in the race before failing to go on with it. His previous eighth was less encouraging, when he conceded a big start and was always chasing. Two wins and one placing from five starts at this track and distance are positives, so he is a realistic place hope rather than a leading win chance.
