Comments

Returns from a three-month break after a plain 11th at this track, beaten over 14 lengths behind Valentine Gift when he gave away too much ground and never threatened. His fifth here the start prior was sounder, and the broader profile is much stronger: seven wins and five places from 21 starts overall, plus a fine record with Tsubasa Sasagawa. The fresh run has to be sharper, but his 2000m record keeps him in the place mix.

Was never a factor when seventh at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths behind One Momentum after settling a long way back at big odds. That has to be balanced against his B1 win at Mombetsu two runs ago, where he finished over the top of them to beat Eiichi by a length. Three wins and three places from nine starts at this venue read well, and a return to that earlier form puts him right in the race.

Comments

Has been well held at her past two starts, most recently ninth at this track over 1600m when beaten over 13 lengths behind One Momentum at long odds. She was also safely held in B2 company behind Muscle the run prior, despite making some late ground. Her track record is respectable, but four previous starts around 2000m have brought no wins or placings, so she has a fair bit to find.

Returns from a three-month break with a useful track-and-distance record, having won twice and placed three times from ten attempts at this course and trip. He was fifth behind Valentine Gift before the spell, beaten nine and a half lengths, but picked up nicely late. The key piece of form is his dominant C1 win two back, when he beat Amabilite by six lengths. Proven fresh enough on profile to be a major player.

Comments

Lifted sharply to win a C1 at this track last start, coming from off the leaders and scoring by a length and a half over Narino Bogart as an outside chance in betting. He had also run third behind Ryu Butter two back after working home past tired runners. The issue is the overall record, with only two wins from 59 starts, so despite the last-start spike he still has to prove he can repeat it at this level.

Resumed with an eighth at this track over 1600m, beaten over 12 lengths behind One Momentum after settling rearward and making no late impression. Her earlier Urawa run was also safely held at long odds. She has won at this track and distance in the past, but an unplaced run through all ten starts in the past 12 months is hard to overlook. Considerable improvement is required second-up.

Has built a very solid platform, finishing third behind Fifties at this track last start after working home evenly, beaten four lengths. That followed a close B3 second to Oken Duke, and the two have since split results against each other. He has placed in both starts at this distance and owns a steady record at this venue. With recent consistency on his side, he looks the most dependable winning chance.

Returns from a five-month break after finishing second last at Kochi, beaten over 12 lengths behind Musashi Fujin when making no impression late. His previous fourth behind Bystol was more competitive, and he has a useful distance record with one win and one placing from four starts. This is also his first run at this track, so there are enough queries, but the 2000m profile gives him some place appeal.

Has shown little in two runs this campaign, finishing tenth behind Sumeragi over 1400m last start after conceding a big start, then second last behind Muscle over 1600m the run prior. He is third-up and has placed twice from six tries at this track and distance, but the recent margins are substantial and the market has been cool. A sharp turnaround would be required to trouble the main chances.

Worked home evenly for fourth behind Fifties at this track last start, beaten four and a half lengths, and that followed a strong B3 win over Yume Dream. He is a three-time winner at this track and distance and has 11 career wins, so the overall profile is robust. The latest result was only fair, but his previous win showed he remains highly effective under these conditions and he must be respected.

Returns from a four-month break after a ninth in a COND at this track, beaten just under six lengths behind Kramskoi when in touch but unable to threaten. His fourth here the start prior was similar in level, but he has already won twice from five attempts at this distance and earlier beat Oken Duke. The fresh run is the query, yet his distance record is strong enough to keep him in the minor money discussion.

Has been at big odds and well beaten in both recent runs, finishing eighth behind Rickey's Luck last start after again settling too far back, then 11th behind the same winner the run prior. He steps back to 2000m with three previous attempts around the trip producing no wins or placings. Although fourth-up fitness is in his favour, the recent figures leave him with too much ground to make up.

Was not far away numerically when seventh behind Erin Flame last start, beaten just over two lengths, though she came from well back and was never really a winning hope. Her prior third came in a small B3 field over 1600m. This is her first try around 2000m, which is the obvious new test, but she does have one win and six places from eleven starts at this track. Place at best unless the trip brings improvement.

Finished eighth behind Fifties at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths, but he kept working after having the job ahead. His fourth to Oken Duke in B3 grade two runs back reads as a better guide, particularly as he has a win and six placings from 15 starts around this distance. He looks more reliable as a place chance than a winning threat, especially with mixed results against the leading hopes.
