Comments

Has been badly out of form in two C2 runs at this track, finishing second last when beaten over 14 lengths before coming in last behind Spiritoso and never competitive. The drop to C3 and a 54kg impost help on paper, while two wins and three places from 19 starts at this track and distance show he has done it before. Current form is the overriding concern, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Comes off consecutive narrow seconds in C3 company at this track, beaten a head by Bloom Waltz and then a neck by Balmy Pearl over 1230m when near the top of betting. He has won at this track and distance and Tomohiro Yoshimura has a strong record on him, with two wins and four places from eleven rides. The repeated near-misses are a minor query, but the form is solid enough to take winning claims again.

Comments

Improved sharply last start when third in C2 grade at this track, beaten two lengths by Tagano Achillea despite starting at big odds. That was a much better effort than his prior tenth behind Jupiter Barows, where he settled back and weakened. He is still winless from eight starts, but two placings from four runs at this track and distance and the class drop make him a genuine winning danger.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Drops from C2 after a sound fifth at this track, beaten three and a half lengths by Blue Dia City, and that reads well enough for this grade. His start prior was less effective after conceding a huge start, but his overall 1400m record is the key: eight wins and 11 placings from 48 attempts, including seven wins at this track and distance. Back in C3, he has the profile to justify top billing.

Comments

Has been safely held at her past two C2 starts, beaten over 12 lengths by Win Solennel before finishing sixth behind Ideal Match and making no impression from well back. She receives weight relief and has four wins and nine places from 71 starts at this track and distance, so there is old form to respect. On recent evidence, however, she has to finish off far better.

Comments

Finished last at both recent C2 runs at this track, beaten over 16 lengths two back and then well held behind Ideal Match after weakening badly late. The class drop is the clear positive and she is a ¥11m yearling purchase, but she is unplaced in all three starts at this track and distance. Recent form leaves her with plenty to prove before she can be considered a serious player.

Was second last in C2 grade at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Margot Krug after conceding a huge start and never entering the race. His previous sixth behind Sekisei, beaten five and a half lengths, was more competitive without being threatening. The C3 drop and one win and two places from twelve starts at this track and distance give him place appeal only if he lifts on the latest run.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

1400m - 1870m

Comments

Was never competitive over 1870m last start, finishing eighth and beaten out of sight behind Point Nemo, after a sixth over C2 grade where he was beaten over 20 lengths. The return to 1400m is more suitable given he has two wins from five starts at this track and distance, and Tatsuya Takemura has won twice on him. Even so, his recent form is too weak to ignore.

1230m - 1700m

Comments

Ran an improved third in C3 company at this track last start, beaten just under two lengths by T O Nicholas over 1230m despite starting at long odds. The run prior was only fair when fifth behind Nori Wood Tail, but he now returns to a distance where he has three wins and 14 placings from 62 attempts. His winning strike-rate is modest, yet the last-start placing puts him in the minor-money mix.

Comments

Is third-up after two heavy C2 defeats at this track, the latest a second-last behind No Ten P Kan when beaten over 13 lengths after settling rearward. He was beaten out of sight at his previous run, so recent form is a genuine concern. The C3 drop and three wins and six places from 22 starts overall offer some balance, but he must rediscover last year's better form to threaten.

Comments

Has been honest without looking dangerous in two C3 runs over 1230m, finishing fourth both times and beaten six and a half lengths then over 11 lengths. She carries only 52kg again and has six wins from 42 starts around 1400m, so the return to this trip is not a concern. The issue is sharper finishing power, and she profiles as a place hope rather than a strong win bet.

Comments

Recent form is poor, with a last placing two back when never competitive and another last behind Earth Grazer last start, beaten over 19 lengths after settling rearward. She has one win and five places from 20 starts at this track and distance, and the rider has been aboard for her lone win. Those positives are outweighed by the current pattern, so others make stronger appeal.
