Debuts from barrier 1 for Y Shono, a Group 1-winning trainer with a strong track record in this line-up. Atsuya Nishimura adds further senior riding strength, and half-sibling Red Levendis has won twice on dirt and placed on debut over 1400m. The draw and family profile give him a sound winning platform.

Debuts from barrier 2 with Seinosuke Yoshimura aboard, so the draw gives him every chance to show what he has first time out. The USA family has produced winners through National Honor, Bar Fourteen and Nicky Jolene, although the stable debut numbers are quiet. Profiles as a place hope rather than a clear winning lead.

Debuts from a low draw with Cristian Demuro booked, and his strong record at this track is an important asset. The pedigree has substance through Lorbeerkranz, who placed on debut and later ran second in a G3, while the Mind Your Biscuits cross gives her a genuine dirt feel. Rates as one of the main dangers.

Debuts for Teruhiko Chida from barrier 4, with the stable having 3 debut wins from 27 starters. The family offers some encouragement through Bertone, who was second on debut at Kyoto Dirt over 1200m, and Pasion Blond, a four-time winner. Even so, she has to produce above the safer profiles in this field.

Debuts from barrier 5 for H Miyamoto, whose debut runners have not struck from the supplied 30-start sample. The Rey De Oro colt has an international damline, but the listed half-siblings have not produced a race win between them. He may improve with racing, yet others bring stronger first-start credentials.

Debuts for Shinichiro Akiyama, who also saddles Le Ciel Noble, and the stable debut record is 3 placings from 34 starters. The family is the positive, with Kurino Olive a city winner at Kyoto Dirt and Hanshin Dirt, including 1400m. She has some background appeal but must turn that into race-day performance.

Debuts for I Okada, a Group 1-winning trainer, and the family has real depth. Lilac Color won six, Reset won nine, and King Blue has multiple Kyoto Dirt wins over 1800m, while several siblings performed well first time out. That gives this gelding enough foundation to be treated as a genuine placing chance.

Debuts for Y Yahagi with an appealing pedigree, being by Life Is Good from Maya Malibu. Half-brother Point Dume is the key reference, an 11-time winner and G2 winner over 1408m, while the stable has 4 debut wins and 11 placings from 42 starters. She looks a major winning threat first time to the races.

Debuts for Manabu Ikezoe, whose debut runners in the supplied record have 2 wins and 7 placings from 27 starts. The damline has useful early talent, with Dona Slusan winning on debut over 1400m and Free Bird Bordo placing first time out. That gives him a fair base for a first-four or place finish.

Debuts with Yutaka Take aboard for Tatsuya Yoshioka, and that combination of rider authority and stable profile is the clearest starting point in the race. The stable's debut record is 3 wins and 8 placings from 25 runners, and this Life Is Good colt looks capable of starting his career with a bold performance.

Debuts from barrier 11 for T Hatsuki, whose supplied debut record is 1 win and 1 placing from 32 starters. The family reference is Namura Shinjiro, a winner from 17 starts who was sixth on debut, so the profile is relatively plain. He will have to outperform the stable pattern to threaten the main chances.

Debuts as an American Pharoah colt from Chain Of Love, with Michihiro Ogasa supplying a respectable debut record of 2 wins and 7 placings from 26 starters. The first-time rider-trainer pairing and barrier 12 temper the case a shade, but the profile is solid enough to keep him in the place discussion.
Jockey: Yuichiro Shibata

Debuts with only 54kg but has to overcome barrier 13 and a stable debut record of no wins from 34 starters. The wider family has produced winners, notably Noble Sky, and several relatives have placed on debut, yet the overall setup points more to minor claims than a winning expectation.

Debuts from barrier 14 with H Miyuki, a Group 1-winning jockey, booked for Takatoshi Miyaji. The stable's debut runners have placed 5 times from 25 starts without a win in the supplied record, and the only listed sibling was well held on debut at Meydan Dirt. He is better framed as a place chance if ready.

Debuts for Hiroki Kawashima, identified as a leading trainer and ranked second for track wins, which is the strongest part of her profile. His debut record of 2 wins and 8 placings from 26 starters is sound, although barrier 15 is an obvious obstacle. She still has enough stable strength to be a place hope.

Debuts from the outside barrier for Toshiaki Tajima, whose supplied debut record is 2 wins and 8 placings from 33 starters. The family has produced a number of dirt winners, including Meisho Fudo and Savannah Monkey, but barrier 16 makes this a demanding starting point against sharper debut profiles.
