Returns from a three-month break after an eighth at Niigata over 1000m, where he sat handy but was only battling and finished beaten eight and a half lengths by Cowslip. The Hakodate run prior was also plain, finishing 14th after lacking the dash to compete. He does have two wins around 1200m and gets weight relief, but current form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Back from a four-month break after finishing eighth at Niigata over 1400m, beaten just under four lengths when unwanted in the market and unable to quicken late. Her previous third at this track was better, beaten just over a length after letting down nicely. The track-and-trip record is the key positive, but at seven she looks more a rough place chance than a winning threat.

Comments

Resumes after four months following an eighth at Sapporo, beaten three and a half lengths at big odds after settling rearward. She was more prominent at this venue start prior in Open grade but faded to seventh after leading. A light weight and a useful track-and-trip record give her some foundation, yet she has to reproduce her better 1200m form to be competitive.

Returns off a two-month let-up after springing a major upset at Hanshin, beating Nobori Riant by a nose despite being unwanted in the market. That was a sharp turnaround from her second-last at Niigata over 1000m, where she was beaten just under eight lengths and offered little in the straight. Three wins from six around 1200m is a plus, but she still has to prove the latest win was no one-off.

Returns from a three-month break after an eighth at Sapporo over 1500m, where he settled handy but did not quicken and was beaten six and a half lengths. The run prior was much stronger, finishing third at Niigata over 1400m and beaten just over half a length at generous odds. He has only one placing from eight around 1200m, so the fresh setup looks more suitable for a minor share.

Back after three months off the back of a strong Nakayama second, beaten just under a length by Pax Romana after finishing off well as favourite on rain-affected ground. He had won his previous start at this track by two lengths from Isola Felice, and the overall record reads six wins and three places from 16 starts. With two wins at this venue and proven 1200m form, he sets the standard.

Resumes after a five-month spell following a last-place finish at Hakodate, beaten six and a half lengths after settling back and making no late impact. She had also been safely held the run before, finishing 11th behind Asti Spumante despite starting favourite. Her overall 1200m record is sound, but recent evidence is too thin to push her case strongly.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing last at Kokura, beaten over 14 lengths by Koseki in a run that offered little encouragement. His fourth at the same venue start prior was better, though still beaten four and a half lengths after having every chance. He has one win and two placings around 1200m, but the latest performance demands a major rebound.

Resumes after six months away having finished 14th in Open grade at Niigata over 1000m, beaten just over seven lengths at long odds after settling well back. The start prior was no better, again 14th and beaten over 10 lengths behind Schlaf. He carries only 52kg and drops in class, but his recent form has been too plain to recommend with confidence.

Back after two months following a sound Hanshin third, beaten just under two lengths by Imbroglio after being well clear and getting run down late. That put a poor Kokura run behind her, where she was last as an odds-on favourite. Her record at the trip is strong, she has won at this track, and Kiwamu Ogino being among the leading jockeys here adds to a persuasive second-up case.

Back from a four-month break after finishing 14th in the G3 Ibis Summer Dash, beaten eight lengths by Puro Magic when settling well back and only fair late. His previous third at this track in Open grade was more relevant, beaten two and a half lengths behind Masano Canaria. The class drop and track-and-trip record help, but he has to recapture that better run.

Returns from a three-month break after winning at Sapporo, beating Say Please by half a length as an odds-on favourite after making strong late ground. That followed a close fourth at Hakodate when beaten just under a length, so her form was heading the right way. She has won at this track and owns three wins and four places from 13 starts at 1200m, making her a genuine winning hope fresh.

Resumes after a ten-month absence, last seen finishing 11th at Kyoto Dirt in an ALLOW, beaten just under five lengths by Getty Villa after never looking a winning hope. His Fukushima Dirt fifth start prior was more competitive, beaten just over a length. Three wins at 1200m read well, but the long break and turf switch leave him with a fair task.

Back after four months following a last-place Niigata run over 1400m, beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds after travelling in range but offering little. She was also well held at Kyoto start prior, finishing 16th and beaten six and a half lengths. The light weight helps only so much, with recent form and her limited 1200m record both significant concerns.

Returns off a two-month let-up after finishing 13th at Hanshin, beaten just over five lengths behind Imbroglio when forced to make up too much ground and never a factor. Her Sapporo second start prior was better, beaten two lengths after picking up strongly at generous odds. She lost to Asakusa Grace at Hanshin about a month ago, so a placing looks the more realistic aim.

Returns off a two-month let-up after winning first-up at Hanshin over 1400m, leading and beating One Call Away by a length when near the top of betting. Her previous Kyoto fourth in an ALLOW was also sound, beaten two lengths as favourite after working home evenly. The first try around 1200m is the query, but three wins and four places from nine starts make her a strong winning chance.
