Comes back quickly after finishing sixth in a B2B3 at Funabashi, beaten over 10 lengths after settling handy and failing to offer a challenge. His run prior at this track was also plain, but he drops back to B3 company, is third-up and owns one win and two places from five starts at this track and distance. The recent form is a concern, yet the setup gives him a solid platform to rebound.

Held third at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths by Rickey's Luck after having every chance in a competitive market. That followed a sharp C1 win over Mucha Suerte at this venue, where he let down quickly and won by two and a half lengths. He is one from two at both the track and the distance, so his current form reads well enough to be a serious winning chance.

Made the most of odds-on favouritism at Urawa last start, beating Smile Thrive by a neck after having to fight for the win. He had been run down late at Funabashi the start prior, but his overall record is hard to knock, with eight wins from 13 starts and strong 1600m credentials. Kenji Okamura has won three from five on him, and that combination helps make him the runner to beat.

Was last in a B2B3 over 2000m at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting into the race. The start prior was far better, winning a C1 here by three lengths from Watashide Iidesuka, so there is ability when he finds his race. The 1600m record is the sticking point, leaving him more a minor hope than a clear winning threat.

Has been safely held in recent runs, most recently second last at Urawa behind Cellist when beaten eight and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous seventh behind Brave Ruler came in similar betting circumstances, even if he worked home fairly from a long way back. The career record has substance, but his current form says he has to find a sharp lift.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths by Rickey's Luck after sitting close enough and only battling. He had also been beaten nine and a half lengths here the start prior, although that came after conceding a big start. His wider track record is better than those runs, with three wins and four places from 10 starts here, but recent output leaves him short of the main hopes.

Could not get involved at Urawa last start, finishing tenth in a B2B3 and beaten just under nine lengths after settling well back. The start prior had more merit when fifth behind Brave Ruler, beaten just under four lengths and working home in eye-catching style. He gets a softer class setup and is third-up, but the latest run leaves him with ground to make up.

Returns from a three-month freshening after finishing fourth at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Rickey's Luck while doing his best work from well back. He had won here the start prior, beating G T Kaisoku by a head, and his track-and-distance record of two wins from four starts is a genuine positive. He profiles as a sound place chance if he reproduces that stronger local form.

Kept working when fourth at this track last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Rickey's Luck, and that followed a fifth here when near the top of betting. He has two wins and two places from seven starts at this venue and now gets Ryo Novata, the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track. The winning edge is not obvious, but he is capable of landing in the minors.

Comes in chasing four wins in a row after a dominant B3C1 success at Urawa, beating Solis Regalo by four lengths as an odds-on favourite. He had also won by four lengths the start prior, so the current form is strong and sustained. Akio Mikoshi has won three from five on him, and his only start around 1600m was a win, giving him every chance to keep progressing.

Comments

Resumes after a six-month break following a poor finish to the last campaign, when tenth at this track and beaten over 12 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. His prior Urawa run was also plain in B2B3 grade. The upside is a strong record at this venue and five wins around 1600m, but he resumes with recent race form that has to be turned around.

Comments

Has finished seventh at his past two starts at this track, most recently beaten just over seven lengths by Rickey's Luck after settling rearward at big odds. The start prior over 2000m was similar, although he kept on despite never looking a winning hope. His track-and-distance record is respectable, and the jockey-trainer profile is strong, but the recent figures still leave him chasing.

Resumed with a sixth at Urawa behind Cellist, beaten five and a half lengths after settling rearward in a race where he was near the top of an open market. That was a fair return without being decisive, and his 1600m profile is stronger, with four wins and three placings from 13 starts around the trip. Second-up, he has enough substance to be considered for the placings.

Resumes after a five-month break following a very plain end to last campaign, when second last at this track and beaten over 12 lengths after making no headway. He was also well held here the run prior at long odds, so the current profile is difficult to support. His career and 1600m records are better than that, but he resumes with significant recent-form concerns.
