Starts his career from barrier 1 for Shinsuke Hashiguchi, whose debut runners have produced 3 wins and 6 placings from 23 starters. The Discreet Cat colt is partnered by Kohei Matsuyama, a leading and Group 1-winning jockey with strong local standing. With the draw and rider both in his favour, he profiles as one of the more credible first-starters.

Makes his debut with a notably strong family behind him, being by Rey De Oro from Water Peony and a half brother to Water Licht, a G3 winner and G1 placegetter. Water Gerbera also placed on debut, so there is genuine early performance in the page. Barrier 2 and Yutaka Take add further polish, putting him firmly among the key chances.

Begins from a low draw for Shota Nishizono, whose debut record of 4 wins and 8 placings from 23 starters reads well for this type of race. The family has produced several debut performers, including Quinault winning first time out and Mount Vernon placing. With Atsuya Nishimura booked, she has enough profile strength to be competitive.

Opens his career for Tomokazu Takano with Christophe Lemaire taking the ride, a combination that commands respect in a newcomer. The Baaeed colt is from Fiducia, whose family includes Good Piece and Gran Aplauso as debut winners, with Good Piece also a same-stable sibling. That gives him a solid foundation and he rates a genuine winning hope.

Jockey: Keita Tosaki

Debuts from barrier 5 with Keita Tosaki aboard, and the family does offer some early speed markers through Little Havana and Rolling Rock, both first-start winners over shorter trips. The stable's debut record is lighter at 1 win from 23 starters, so he will have to bring more than the raw profile suggests to trouble the main chances.

Starts out for Shinichiro Akiyama, whose debut runners have won 1 from 30 with 4 placings. The family has mixed first-start evidence, with Spannend Dia placing on debut while Furstin was well back. She has a middle draw and carries 55kg, but the overall profile leaves her needing a sharper performance than several rivals on debut.

Jockey: Mirai Iwata
Weight: 56kgs

Starts his career with the strongest overall newcomer profile, combining Mirai Iwata, the K Nonaka stable and a positive Silver State stable-sire record of 2 wins and 4 placings from 9 runners. His family includes Cut Solo, who placed on debut before winning at Hanshin, and the broader page has depth. He looks well placed to make an immediate impact.

Jockey: Daisuke Sasaki

Begins for Tomoyasu Sakaguchi with Daisuke Sasaki taking the ride. His half brother Mountain Cat won on debut at GB - Doncaster and later became a two-time winner, so there is a useful family pointer. The stable's debut record is 0 wins from 26 starters, however, and that leaves him with ground to make up against the better-credentialed newcomers.

Makes her debut for Kota Kato from barrier 9, with the stable still chasing a debut win from 24 starters. The dam has produced Olopatadine, a two-time winner, and Precious Feather placed first time out, so the family is not without merit. Even so, the trainer-sire figures are light and she looks more of a place hope if ready.

Jockey: Kanta Taguchi

Debuts for Takashi Suzuki, and the stable-sire pairing with Declaration Of War has produced 5 wins from 25 starters, a useful pointer. Her half sibling Leo Agile won on debut over 1400m at Tokyo and later placed in the G3 The Fairy Stakes. The wide-ish draw is some consideration, but the profile gives her sound place claims.

Jockey: Kenji Kawamata

Kicks off for Keiji Yoshimura with Kenji Kawamata aboard and barrier 11 to contend with. The family has produced winners, notably Ventura with three wins, and several siblings showed some ability at their first starts. The stable's debut record of 0 wins and 1 placing from 26 starters is the major caution, so he has to outperform the raw numbers.

Jockey: Hideaki Miyuki

Starts for H Oneda with H Miyuki riding, and her family is headed by Testimone, an eight-time winner line through Wise Answer's progeny profile and a same-trainer sibling. The drawback is that the stable's debut record is 0 wins from 23 starters, with 3 placings. She has enough background to be considered for a minor placing rather than a leading win claim.

Jockey: Osuke Tayama
Weight: 54kgs
Stats
Comments
Debuts from barrier 13 with 54kg and Osuke Tayama aboard. The immediate family evidence is light, with Nishino Gorgeous unplaced on debut and still winless from 10 starts. H Miyamoto's debut record is also 0 wins and 0 placings from 26 starters, so she will have to show more than the profile indicates to feature prominently.

Jockey: Yuji Hishida

Starts from barrier 14 for I Okada with Yuji Hishida taking the ride. The stable is a Group 1-winning yard, but its recent debut return of 1 win from 22 starters is only fair. Her same-trainer sibling Kurobotan was well held on debut, and with a wide draw she appears to require a stronger-than-profile performance first time out.

Jockey: Ryuusei Sakai
Weight: 55kgs

Makes her Japanese debut as a French-bred filly by Space Blues, with Ryusei Sakai an important booking. The family has early form, with Desert Rose winning on debut and Be The Standard placing first time out. Suguru Shibata's debut runners have placed 3 times from 14, so she has enough substance to be a genuine place chance if she adapts quickly.

Jockey: Fuma Matsuwaka

Begins from barrier 16 for Hiroki Kawashima, whose debut runners have produced 2 wins and 8 placings from 25 starters. That stable record is the main positive, while the family evidence is limited to Azzione, who later won twice but was unplaced on debut. The gate makes the task a touch harder, yet he remains a workable minor-placing candidate.

Jockey: Seinosuke Yoshimura

Starts from barrier 17 for Kodai Hasegawa with Seinosuke Yoshimura aboard. The trainer has 3 debut wins from 30 starters, and the family includes Cakewalk and Fata Fiore as multiple winners, though the debut records among siblings are mixed. The wide draw and plain trainer-sire numbers make her more speculative than the main chances.

Jockey: Yuichi Kitamura

Debuts from the outside barrier with Yuichi Kitamura, a leading and Group 1-winning jockey, booked. Yutaka Okumura's debut runners have returned 3 wins and 6 placings from 26 starters, and the Suave Richard stable-sire figures are also positive. The draw is the obvious hurdle, but the stable and rider profile keep her in the place mix.
