Has been safely held at his past two, finishing seventh behind Sun Ship last start after settling rearward and being unwanted in the market. The start prior was also plain when seventh behind Nyan Taro, beaten over 14 lengths, despite working home fairly from a hopeless position. His three wins and five places from 15 starts at this track and distance are the saving grace, but recent form says he must lift sharply.

Comments

Worked home evenly when sixth behind Estimate last start, but the margin was still over 10 lengths and he started at long odds. His previous run was only slightly better, finishing sixth behind Cairns after settling handy and failing to quicken. He has a past win around this track and distance, yet the current form pattern is not strong enough to make a convincing winning case.

Comments

Returns off a one-month freshening after finishing last as a well-supported favourite first-up, beaten seven and a half lengths by Prime Line in a five-runner race. That was disappointing, but she is second-up now and her overall record of two wins and three places from eleven starts is better than many here. Tsubasa Sasagawa has won on her before, so a cleaner performance puts her back into the minor-money mix.

Produced a better effort when third behind Jamais Vu in a C1 over 900m last start, beaten five and a half lengths after settling well back. That followed a soundly beaten seventh behind Obra Maestra, so the consistency is still not fully there. The class drop and return to 1400m help, and he has won twice at this track and distance, but he profiles more as a placing chance than a dominant threat.

Comes through a plain sixth behind Buenos Optima last start, beaten over 10 lengths after giving away too much start, but he did work home fairly. Two back he made late ground for fifth behind Obra Maestra, and he recently beat Hagane at this track. His four wins and five places from 20 starts at this track and distance give him genuine substance, so he remains a major player if he is within range.

Kept coming when fifth behind Face Lift last start, beaten four and a half lengths after starting at big odds, and that reads well enough for this. The run prior in B1 was safely held, but he now returns to a setup where his record carries real weight. Four wins and five places from 22 starts at this track and distance make him the most reliable winning profile in the race.

Finished seventh behind Buenos Optima last start, beaten over 11 lengths after conceding a big start, so that effort requires improvement. His previous C1 run behind Meisho Gorushi was also only fair, though he was near the top of an open market there and has traded results with Top Tarumae recently. With a win at this track and distance on his side, he is better than the latest margin suggests.

Has struggled to make ground in two recent runs, finishing ninth behind Sun Ship last start when beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. The run prior was no better on the margin, beaten over 16 lengths behind Criniere Grace after conceding a huge start. His broader record shows three wins and nine places from 27 starts, but the current form gives little reason to push him up the order.

Was close enough to do better last start but dropped out to finish eighth behind Flash Freeze, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. The start prior was a fifth behind G T Yubi, beaten just over seven lengths, without ever threatening. Kazuya Ibi's strong track presence is a positive and she has a past 1400m win, but she looks a place hope only if she rediscovers more finish.

Failed to run on when second last behind Flash Freeze last start, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. She had been third behind G T Yubi the start before, beaten four and a half lengths after looming but tiring late, so there is a recent placing in the form. One win and seven places from 21 starts at this track and distance gives her some grounding, but the latest run is hard to overlook.

Has to be assessed forgivingly off one run after finishing last behind Meisho Hyuga, beaten a long way when unwanted in the market. The start prior was much more competitive, finishing third behind Cairns and beaten just over two lengths at long odds. Her past 12 months read well with three wins and six places from 18 starts, and that gives her enough substance to be a genuine place contender.

Made no impression from the rear when eighth behind Sun Ship last start, beaten just under ten lengths after starting big odds. Her previous fifth behind Pine Peach was more respectable in a smaller field, but she did not quicken when placed under pressure. Four wins and nine places from 31 starts is a fair career record, yet six unplaced runs at this track make this assignment look testing.
