Debuts from the Satoshi Koda yard and has the advantage of barrier 1 with 54kg. The stable has produced two winners and three placings from nine debut runners, which gives her a sound enough base for a first start. By Omega Perfume out of Tumbadora, she is not as strongly profiled as the main selections, but the inside draw gives her a chance to be competitive at the first attempt.

Makes her first appearance with one of the stronger pedigree profiles in the race. Full siblings Taisei Mambo and Ginga Express are both multiple winners, while half siblings Twilight Dress and Bud Rosy have also built winning records. Barrier 2 is a plus, and although Hironori Sato is still chasing a debut win from nine starters, the family depth makes her a genuine place hope with winning upside.

Debuts for Yuya Yamazaki with the most compelling overall profile. The stable has five wins and 12 placings from 18 debut runners, while Ryo Novata is the leading jockey at this track and rides from barrier 3. Her pedigree also carries substance through Arranger, a G3 placegetter and Hanshin 1400m winner. That combination gives her the clearest winning case.

Starts his career for Hiroyuki Mogi with Francisco Goncalves aboard and 55kg from barrier 4. The stable has placed three of seven debut runners, while the Four Wheel Drive-D's Perfume pairing has already produced one win from six trainer-sire starters. The immediate family points more to shorter trips, but the debut profile is sound enough for a place chance.

Makes his debut for Yutaka Nagatomo and carries 55kg from barrier 5. By Eskendereya out of South In The Dark, he has less exposed family support in the supplied profile and the trainer's small debut sample is yet to produce a placing from three runners. He is still entitled to run well first time out, but others bring stronger starting points.

Comes to the races with a sharp stable-debut angle for Seiichi Kato, whose first starters have won six of 10. The trainer-sire record with Mr Melody is also useful, with three wins and six placings from 13 runners. Half sibling Tsukimusubi won on debut over 1400m at Sonoda, so despite barrier 6 she has enough in the profile to press the main chances.
