Debuts from the Hiroyuki Takahashi stable with a useful inside draw and Ryo Novata booked, a positive given he is top-ranked for wins at this track. The trainer has 1 winner from 3 debut runners, while the Mozu Ascot cross has produced a 57% place rate from 7 starters for this stable. Full siblings Mozu Miracle and Mozu Hommadekka were both winners, so there is enough background to view her as a genuine place hope.

Makes her debut from barrier 2 for Shoichi Hirata and Wataru Fujie. The family has produced useful winners, including Kyoramun, who won over 1400m on Chukyo Dirt, and Mabalacat, a debut winner at Mombetsu. Against that, the trainer's debut record stands at 0 wins from 9 starters, so she has to make an immediate leap to trouble the stronger profiles.

Starts out for Hiroyuki Mogi, whose debut runners have placed 5 times from 8 starts, and that is one of the stronger exposed stable patterns in this line-up. Barrier 3 gives her a straightforward starting point, while half-sibling Sante Orange won twice and ran second on debut at Nagoya. By Structor from Orange Orange, she brings enough first-start indicators to be a serious winning chance.

Debuts for Juichi Tajima with Naoki Machida taking the ride, and the jockey sits fourth for wins at this track. The stable's debut record is solid for this level, with 3 placings from 6 starters, while the family includes Dantsu Dore, a five-time winner. Some of the sibling debut efforts were plain, but the placement statistics give him a realistic minor-money shape.

Kicks off for Hiromi Yamazaki with Niihara Shuma aboard, and the pedigree has depth through Elephant Run, River True and Catch A Thief. The stable's debut numbers are modest on the win side at 1 from 16, although 7 have placed, and the New Year's Day trainer combination has produced 4 wins from 40 starts. He has some family substance, but others present stronger debut claims.

Debuts for Sakai Shinobu with Takayuki Yano booked, and that rider engagement is a key positive given he is one of the leading jockeys at this track. The stable has produced 1 winner and 4 placings from 9 debut starters, while this filly carries 54kg and profiles neatly by New Year's Day from La La Sans Soufre. She looks the most appealing first-starter and is the one they have to beat.

Begins from the outside draw for Yuya Yamazaki, whose debut record is strong with 6 winners and 15 placings from 23 starters. The trainer-sire combination has also placed 8 times from 11 starts, and the family includes several winners, notably Sourire Sincere and Barachiel. Even so, he is assessed behind the main chances and has to turn those background figures into a sharp debut performance.
