FLOWER HOPE S (6) Placed 2nd last start at the track. Will be positive in the run early. Been in the money 2 from 2 attempts this preparation. Minoru Miyagawa rates highly. Key player. REWARD LAUREN (3) Competitive effort when 3rd last time at the track and showing consistent performance in races. Showing great form since resuming from a break. Serious player. LOWEN HEARTS (7) Ran away with a win by a margin of 4L last run at this venue. Can measure up to this company. YAMASHU (1) Ran well when 3rd last start here and gets the perfect alley. Has been a model of consistency since resuming from a break and promising career start. Can go on with it.

Placed again when third at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths behind Yompaku Ikki, but he was unwanted in the market and safely held. His previous third had more merit, coming from well back to be beaten four and a half lengths by Three Scarlet. Barrier 1 and a 60% place record at this track and distance help, but the winning task still looks beyond him.

Back after four weeks, she comes off a plain second-last at this track, beaten nine and a half lengths after sitting just off the pace and failing to challenge. The start prior was much better when second to Maono Sailing, beaten four lengths and respected in the market. With a distance query and no clear excuse last time, she has to rediscover that earlier level quickly.

Put together consecutive placings at this venue, most recently third behind Palmgren after settling rearward and beaten three and a half lengths. The start prior reads well for this grade, pipped at the post by Royal Quark when only half a length away despite being an outside chance in betting. She is yet to win, but her current pattern gives her a genuine minor-money profile.

Turned her form around sharply when scoring by three lengths at this track last start, working into it smoothly and putting Venitienne away quickly. That answered a plain seventh to Maono Sailing the run prior, and she again carries 52kg with the winning rider aboard. Proven at this track and distance and rated strongly on recent form, she has the right profile to go close again.

Recent form is a clear concern, finishing last at this track at his past two starts, beaten over 18 lengths behind Palmgren most recently and over 11 lengths behind Haruga Kita before that. There was no sign of a late rally in either run, so the case rests on earlier track-and-trip winning form and race fitness. A rebound would put him in the minor-money discussion rather than the win line.

Has filled second at both starts and now reaches his third run, which looks the right point for him to convert consistency into a win. He was heavily backed into very short odds-on territory last start and worked home evenly behind Yompaku Ikki, a length and a half away, after debuting with a solid second to Palmgren. With the leading local trainer and a strong track jockey, he brings the most reliable profile.

Strode away to beat Josho Allez by four lengths at this track last start, a sharp response after being beaten over 17 lengths by Three Scarlet when he tracked the speed and found little. That latest win proves he is effective at around 1300m and the winning rider stays on. The turnaround is encouraging, but the earlier defeat keeps him more in the each-way mix than as a clear top pick.
