Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing last at this track, where he settled rearward and weakened further to be well beaten behind Nishino Engage. His debut at this venue was also poor, beaten out of sight after giving away a big start. The positives are barrier one and a third-up profile, but he has to produce a much sharper finish to justify his place among the stronger chances.

Returns from a five-week let-up with weight relief to 53kg, which is the main reason to keep him in calculations. His last two runs at this track were plain, finishing second last behind Nishino Engage then seventh behind Leo Seraphim, and he made no late impact either time. He has race fitness and experience at 1200m, but the winning case depends on a clear lift in closing effort.

Makes his race debut from the Katsuo Ishii stable with Shotaro Kawashima booked from barrier three. The family gives some encouragement for this starting point, with Yumegoten a winner on debut over 1200m at Ohi and Ryuguno Yume runner-up first time out over the same trip. That profile gives him a genuine place shape, though race-day performance is the measure now.

Debuts for Masakazu Kawashima, the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track, and that stable profile is the standout part of his case. He is by Silver State from Enchanteleurs and has half-siblings with winning records, including Breguet Un, a two-time winner. Barrier four looks workable and the trainer debut numbers are strong enough to give him genuine claims on debut.

Makes his debut for Hiroshi Yauchi with Tatsuya Hamada riding from barrier five. The available profile is light, and the stable's recent debut record in the supplied figures shows no wins or placings from five starters. He may improve once he gains race experience, but others bring stronger debut or exposed-race credentials.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing eighth on debut at this track, beaten over 11 lengths behind Nishino Engage when he failed to quicken. That was not a polished performance, but he started an outside chance in the betting and beat Rashomon and Vivid Man from today's field. With that 1200m experience behind him, he has the clearest improvement profile and rates the horse to beat.

Starts his career from barrier seven for Y Yano and Ryo Kosugi. His pedigree has produced a number of winners, including Takka Heart, Brandy and Vogelwand, and there is some debut performance in the family through Sanyo Captain and Vogelwand. Even so, he sits behind the main chances on the supplied profile and may be better assessed after race experience.

Debuts for Katsuo Ishii with Kota Motohashi aboard, and there is depth in the family through I Dreamed, Yotsuyakaidan and Arabesque Penchee. The dam line has produced 1200m and 1400m winners, while I Dreamed was effective at this venue earlier in her career. That gives him a sound place profile, although he must overcome barrier eight on debut.

Makes her debut from the Gen Hayashi stable with 54kg and Kentaro Usui aboard. The family has produced winners including Rosso Neri, Wild Pit, Golden State and Madison, and there is 1000m debut speed in the pedigree through Madison and Golden State at Funabashi. She gets a light weight, but barrier nine leaves her needing to show racecraft straight away.

Kicks off from the outside barrier with 54kg for Takayuki Yamashita, whose supplied debut figures are strong at four wins and eight placings from 10 starters. The family also offers some first-start encouragement, with Isle Vita winning on debut over 1200m and R With placing twice over the same trip. Barrier ten is the concern, so he will have to do plenty right at his first start.
