Draws the inside for his first start and brings a strong debut profile. By Lord Kanaloa out of Group 2 winner Wonder Gadot, he is handled by Hiroyuki Uemura, whose debut runners have produced 5 wins and 14 placings from 32 starters. The Uemura-Lord Kanaloa combination is also proven, and Mirai Iwata being top-ranked for wins at this track adds further polish to the case. He looks well placed to make an immediate impact.

Begins from barrier 2 with Kohei Matsuyama booked, which gives this Kitasan Black filly a neat starting point. Yasuyuki Tsujino's debut figures are more place-based than win-heavy, but the family has produced useful winners in Mikki Gentle and Deauville. With 55kg and a soft draw, she has enough background to be treated as a genuine placing hope on debut.

Starts from barrier 3 for Fuma Matsuwaka and comes from a family with some depth. Half-sibling Prinsessa was second on debut over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt and later won three races, while Gudinne also placed at a first start. Kazuya Makita's debut strike-rate is quiet, so the winning case is not as sharp as others, but the pedigree leaves him capable of running a competitive race.

Makes his first appearance from barrier 4 for Kensuke Ogura and Seinosuke Yoshimura. The stable's debut record is modest, with 1 win and 3 placings from 31 starters, and there is no sibling record supplied to strengthen the profile. The draw is fair enough, but he has to show more on race day to trouble the better-credentialled newcomers.

Steps out by Orfevre from Seaneen Girl and has a family that has already thrown winners. Daiwa Douglas won five races and scored on debut over 2000m at Fukushima, while Princess Nonko also won at her first start. Shinya Kobayashi's debut and Orfevre combination figures are only modest, so she profiles as a place chance if that family quality comes through immediately.

Debuts by Rey De Oro for Osamu Hirata, a Group 1-winning trainer with Atsuya Nishimura taking the ride. The jockey has a good level of track presence, but the Hirata debut record shows 2 placings from 20 starters and the trainer-sire figures are similarly steady rather than dominant. He is respected among the selections, though more as a runner who can be competitive than a clear standout.

Has one of the more interesting family references, being a half-sibling to Savona, who won the Listed Fukushima Mimpo Hai(L) and placed in two G2 races over 2400m. That gives her pedigree depth for a debut over 1800m, while H Miyuki brings Group 1-winning experience. K Nakatake's debut record is light, so she shapes as a place chance if the family ability appears early.

Comes from the H Fujiwara stable, which has a sound 4 wins from 29 debut starters, and gets Yuichi Kitamura, one of the leading jockeys at this track. By Efforia from A Shin Deneb, he is drawn wider in barrier 8, but the stable and rider profile gives him a firm platform for a bold first-up showing. He rates as a genuine danger to the top pick.
