Comments

Arrives in excellent order with three wins in a row, most recently scoring by a nose in a C1 at this track after being sent out favourite. The start prior was even stronger, leading and kicking clear to beat Pink Marvel by four lengths as an odds-on favourite. Eight wins and three places from 16 starts at this track and distance, plus Toyokazu Tano back aboard, make her the horse they all have to beat.

Comments

Has been well held at his past two, finishing eighth behind Sun Uikyo last start when beaten nine and a half lengths after settling rearward and making no ground. The start prior was no better, finishing ninth over 1400m at this venue as big odds. His old track-and-trip record is respectable, but current form leaves him with a sizeable task.

Comments

Finished sixth behind Sun Uikyo last start, beaten just over five lengths, after sitting behind the leaders and proving safely held. He was also seventh behind Into The Flow the run prior, so the recent form is not sparkling. The positives are his proven 820m record and an excellent partnership with Tatsuya Takemura, which keep him in the minor-money mix.

Comments

Lifted sharply when second to Into The Flow last start, beaten a length in a B1B2 at this track despite being unwanted in the market. Her previous run was poor after leading and weakening, so she has to hold that rebound, but she has placed four times from ten at this track and distance and Wataru Hirose takes the ride. If she repeats the latest, she is right in the race.

Comments

Has to be assessed carefully after finishing eighth over 1400m last start, beaten just over nine lengths after being close enough before dropping out. Two back he was last and beaten over 13 lengths, so the recent form is thin. The class drop offers some help, but one win from 51 starts and an unplaced 820m record make him more a rough place case than a confident selection.

Comments

Finished seventh behind Sun Uikyo last start, beaten just over nine lengths, after settling rearward and making no impression. The run prior was a heavy defeat over 1230m, beaten over 20 lengths at long odds. She has won at around this distance before, but four unplaced runs at this track and current form point to a difficult assignment.

Comments

Comes out of two plain B1 efforts at this track, finishing second last behind Dia Graf most recently and ninth behind Ecoro Weiss before that, beaten over 19 lengths. He has been unwanted in betting and has not raced around 820m before, so the shorter trip is an added unknown. Even with some class relief, he has to improve markedly.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Anno Domini last start over 1230m, with the market also giving him little chance. The start prior was another well-held effort in B1 company, and he remains unplaced from six starts at this track. A first attempt around 820m is not enough to offset the recent decline.

Comments

Ran well when second to Sun Uikyo last start, beaten two and a half lengths in a B1B2 at this track after leading and being run down late. The start prior was only fair behind Into The Flow, but she has two wins and four places from twelve starts at this track and distance and was near the top of betting last time. From a wide draw she still profiles as a serious chance.

820m - 1230m

Comments

Was eighth behind Into The Flow last start, beaten six and a half lengths, after settling just off the lead and lacking the turn of foot required. The previous 1230m run was weaker again, but her 820m record is much better, with two wins and four places from nine starts at this track and distance. The light 52kg helps, though recent rivals hold a form edge.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
