Drawn barrier 1 for her first race start, this filly has some useful family depth through Fervente, a Listed-placed sibling, and Not Yet, a Kokura Dirt 1700m winner. Daiki Yajima has placed with 33% of recent debut runners, which gives her a base to work from, but she still profiles as one who may require the race experience before showing her best.

Starts from barrier 2 for K Take and has a pedigree with some middle-distance relevance, with Tink a Fukushima 1800m winner and Le Pavillon successful at Tokyo over 1600m. The stable's recent debut figures are modest, yet the draw gives her every opportunity to begin cleanly and she profiles as a place hope rather than a clear top pick.

Carries just 52kg from barrier 3 on debut, so the set-up is economical for a colt having his first start. Takafumi Aoki's debut record is only 1 win from 31 recent starters, and the immediate family has not shown sharp debut results. The light weight is a positive, but he will have to produce above the bare profile to trouble the main hopes.

By Majestic Warrior and out of Snow Dream, she has a relevant dirt pointer through Waldstein, who won over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Genki Maruyama is a top-seven rider for wins at this track, and the Naoyuki Morita-Majestic Warrior combination has already produced a winner from six starters. That gives her a sound winning profile for a first starter.

Makes his debut from barrier 5 for M Okuhira, with Koji Nishizuka booked at 56kg. The stable has not produced a recent debut winner from 20 starters, and the trainer-sire combination is also yet to place from seven attempts. With no stronger supporting signals in the profile, he looks to face a stern first-up assignment.

Comes to his debut with one of the better overall profiles in the race. Masayuki Nishimura is ranked fifth for wins at this track, and the family offers genuine substance through Meisho Yozora, a four-time winner who placed in the Anemone Stakes(L). With barrier 6 and 56kg, he looks well placed to make a strong first impression and sets the standard among these newcomers.

Begins from barrier 7 as a Gold Dream colt out of Pivoine, with Daito Ozawa taking the ride. The family offers a positive through Copano Wyatt, who was placed on debut at Funabashi and later won, although the trainer's recent debut record is a modest 1 win from 29 starters. He has enough grounding in the profile to be considered for a minor role.

Debuts for Yuta Sato, whose recent first-starter figures are notably strong at 12 wins from 40 and a 48% place rate. The Nadal combination has also placed with 78% of runners from nine starters, and the family includes Haruno Arashi, a Nakayama Dirt 1800m winner. Those factors make him a genuine place contender with some upside.

Has the benefit of 52kg on debut for N Suzuki, who ranks fourth for wins at this track. The trainer has a fair recent debut place record at 25%, and the New Year's Day combination has returned a 28% place rate. The family profile is thinner than the leading chances, so she must make use of the weight relief to get involved.

Starts from barrier 10 with 54kg for Kota Kato, whose recent debut runners have placed at a 22% rate. The family has shown early ability through King Sukeyo, who was second on debut and later won twice. The wide-ish draw leaves her with some work to do, but she has enough in the pedigree to hold place claims.

By Majestic Warrior and carrying 54kg, this colt debuts for Koichi Shinkai with Takuro Ishida aboard. The stable has won with 15% of recent debut runners, and the trainer-sire pairing has a healthy 34% place rate from 44 starters. That is a respectable base, though his overall ranking suggests he still has to outperform several stronger profiles.

Represents the premier stable angle, with M Saito top-ranked for wins at this track and striking at 24% with recent debut runners. The Kitasan Black colt is out of Dainty, whose family has produced multiple winners, including Rouge Kalmia over 1800m at Tokyo. Barrier 12 is not ideal, but the stable record makes him a strong winning chance.

Makes his first appearance from barrier 13 for Y Takahashi, with a broad family record behind him. El Paso won on dirt over 1600m and 1800m, while El Aurens was a Nakayama Dirt 1200m winner, so the pedigree is not short of substance. The debut-stable numbers are only fair, and the draw keeps him more in the place bracket.

Begins from barrier 14 for Masashi Fukayama and carries 55kg. Her siblings Pansy and Yet To Come both debuted over 1800m without making a major impact, and the stable's recent first-starter record sits at 1 win from 33 runners. From the wide draw, she looks likely to require a sharper-than-expected debut to threaten.

Has a key rider angle, with Miku Kobayashi one of the leading jockeys at this track and ranked third for local wins. The Shizuya Kato-Nadal combination has produced a 50% place rate from six starters, and she carries only 53kg despite drawing widest. The barrier is the main complication, but her jockey and trainer-sire profile keep her firmly in the winning mix.
