Comments

Improved neatly at his second start when second at this track, beaten seven lengths by Entrechat after being sent out a well-supported favourite. His debut fifth behind Bellagio Izana also contained merit, as he made ground late after starting near the top of an open market. Third-up with barrier one, he has the right platform to take another step and rates a genuine winning chance.

Comments

Worked home into fourth at this track last start, though the margin was still over 11 lengths and he was at long odds. His debut third reads better on paper than in substance, as he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Bear Magnum. A leading jockey-trainer combination gives him some support, but the form points more to a placing hope than a major winning threat.

Has been safely held at both recent starts, finishing seventh at this track last start when beaten over 18 lengths after failing to come into the race. The start prior was no better, as he was last and beaten out of sight behind Yompaku Ikki. Unplaced from six starts at around 1300m, he will have to lift sharply to trouble these.

Comments

Finished fourth at this track last start but was beaten over 14 lengths by Entrechat and started at long odds. The run prior she conceded a huge start and was never in the race when sixth, beaten over 20 lengths behind Lowen Hearts. With no placing from four attempts around 1300m and a recent line through O Shin Whale against her, others make far stronger appeal.

Does have a prior win at this track and distance, so his best form is not completely out of place, but the recent evidence is hard to ignore. He was last of seven behind Lowen Hearts last start, beaten ten lengths, after being unable to make ground from well back. The run prior was another last placing, beaten over 18 lengths, leaving him as only a rough each-way chance.

Dropped out sharply in the straight when second last at this track last start, ending up well beaten after travelling in the right spot. Her previous fourth behind Lowen Hearts was more competitive in market terms, but she was still beaten over 13 lengths after leading. With just one placing from eight starts overall, she requires a clear rebound to get involved.

Was only fair through the line when sixth at this track last start, beaten eight and a half lengths behind Lowen Hearts at long odds. His prior third behind Yompaku Ikki was much better, beaten just over two lengths, and his three placings from six starts show he can hold a spot in this grade. Winning remains the query, but he is a sound minor-money prospect.

Comments

Produced one of the better closing efforts in the field when third at this track last start, coming from well back to get into the money despite being beaten over 10 lengths. He had been safely held two runs back, but two placings from five starts at this track and distance give him a workable platform. With the top-ranked track jockey aboard, he looks a realistic place chance.

Comments

Caught the eye late on debut at this track, finishing fourth behind Sun Calendula after having a lot of ground to make up, even though the margin was over 13 lengths. He was an outside chance in betting there and now has race experience on his side. Atelier beat him home in that same race, but natural second-up improvement keeps him among the key winning hopes.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Made a strong first impression when second on debut at this track, beaten nine lengths by Sun Calendula but closing off very well and finishing ahead of In The Money. He was near the top of betting there, has already placed at this distance, and comes from the top-ranked trainer for wins at the venue. With that experience to draw on second-up, he sets the benchmark.
