Draws barrier 1 for her first race start and comes from a Takashi Saito stable with a solid 11% debut strike-rate and 34% place rate. Her family has already produced Red Fraser, a Hanshin Dirt 1800m winner, and Okotampe, a two-time winner. With H Miyuki booked and the inside draw to help, she has enough foundation to be treated as a genuine winning chance.

Starts her career from barrier 2 with the 54kg impost, which gives her a practical introduction. The profile is more about place claims than a strong winning push, with Shogo Hatabata yet to win with recent debut runners and the trainer-sire figures also modest. Half sibling Otembamusume won four races, so there is enough in the family to give her a minor chance.

Comes from a productive American family, with full siblings Under The Gun and Hallow Point both multiple winners, while Tapit First placed in the Listed Borderplex S. The query is the local debut profile, as Teiichi Konno has one win from 29 recent first starters. She has pedigree interest, but the stable pattern points to improvement being required.

Makes her debut for Y Shono, whose trainer-sire combination with Benbatl has returned two wins and four placings from eight starters. Half sibling Meisho Sasso won over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt and was second on debut, so there is relevant dirt staying blood. Even so, she is rated below the main chances and will have to begin sharply to threaten them.

Has one of the strongest pedigrees in the field, being a half sister to G2 winner Wonderful Town, who also won a G3 and placed in Listed company. Yuta Sato has an excellent 34% debut strike-rate and a 51% place rate from 41 starters, which adds confidence to the profile. From barrier 5 with S Hamanaka aboard, she looks a major threat first time out.
Jockey: Manabu Sakai

Has plenty of family substance, headed by Saimon Xanadu, who has placed in G3 company and won at Kyoto Dirt over 1800m. That is useful for this assignment, and Manabu Sakai brings Group 1-winning experience. The stable's recent debut figures are only one win from 22 starters, though, so she may be better assessed as one who has to outperform the yard pattern.

Begins for K Nonaka, whose debut runners have won at 16% and placed at 37%, and she has Ryusei Sakai engaged. Half sibling Hot Seat was second first-up at Kyoto Dirt before winning twice, including once at this venue, so the family has already handled the surface. From barrier 7, she brings a clean, credible profile and sits among the better chances.
Jockey: Mirco Demuro

Carries a notable pedigree link as a half sister to Listed winner Pod Bullet, and M Demuro is a proven Group 1 rider. The broader stable numbers are more measured, with Taiki Chaki showing one win and four placings from 25 recent debut starters, and the Orfevre cross reads similarly. She has enough background to run well without being the clearest win option.
Jockey: Kanta Taguchi

Steps out for Masayuki Nishimura, and the trainer-sire combination with American Patriot is the key positive, producing three wins and 10 placings from 23 starters. That is stronger than the stable's general debut record, which is winless from 23 but with five placings. With Kanta Taguchi riding and barrier 9, she shapes as a realistic minor-money contender.
Jockey: Yamato Tsunoda

Has a deep family page, with Manno Status a multiple winner over 1800m on dirt and several siblings having raced for the same stable. Koichi Tsunoda's recent debut record is one win from 27 starters, while the Danon Legend cross has produced one win from 12. There is enough background to monitor, but she has to find more than several better-credentialed first starters.
Jockey: Cristian Demuro

Represents the strongest stable profile, with Ryo Terashima the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track and a leading trainer overall. The family is also appealing: Vilja Lied and Giuditta both won on debut, and several siblings have already won on dirt. With Cristian Demuro engaged and strong supporting figures behind her, she has the most persuasive first-start case.

Begins from barrier 12 for Koichi Shintani, whose debut statistics are modest at one win from 34 starters. There is some family promise through Yasuke, a three-time winner, and Lord Closer was fourth on debut over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. The profile gives her a chance to run honestly, but the winning case is thinner than the leading selections.
Jockey: Mirai Iwata

Has the benefit of Mirai Iwata, one of the leading jockeys at this track, and that is the clearest positive in her first-start profile. Kazuya Takahashi has a 9% debut strike-rate, but the trainer-sire combination with Mind Your Biscuits is yet to place from 10 starters. From barrier 13, she will have to produce above those figures to trouble the main hopes.
Jockey: Kohei Matsuyama

Gets Kohei Matsuyama, the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track, which gives her a strong rider angle on debut. The family has produced Negresco, a first-start winner at Kyoto Dirt, and the Majestic Warrior trainer-sire combination has three wins and seven placings from 28 starters. Barrier 14 is not ideal, but she has enough to be considered for the minor money.

Comes from a family with 1800m dirt winners, including Kirios, Midas and Container Line, and Kirios was second on debut at Kyoto Dirt over this distance. The stable statistics are less compelling, with Yoshiaki Sugiyama showing one win from 28 recent debut starters and the Saturnalia cross yet to place from two. She has pedigree relevance but must outperform the stable profile.

Has several siblings with the same trainer, including Tomoja Keya, Tomoja Chic, Tomoja Caturra and Tomoja Zan, so H Oneda knows the family well. Tomoja Keya was second on debut and later won twice, while Tomoja Zan won over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. The outside barrier and winless recent debut record for the stable leave her with a fair task first-up.
