Returns after four months off, with his last appearance a sixth at Sapporo Dirt when beaten just over nine lengths after giving away a big start and never threatening. He had also been safely held at Hakodate Dirt start prior, fifth and beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. The record at this venue is respectable, but the recent race form says he has to lift sharply.

Has finished seventh in both runs this campaign, most recently at Urawa in A2B1 grade when beaten five and a half lengths after lacking a turn of foot. She was unwanted in the market at Nakayama Dirt before that and only fair through the line. The class drop and third-up profile give her some help, but she must find a much stronger finish to threaten.

Made a fair return when fifth at this track, beaten three and a half lengths behind Tagano Elu after being unwanted in the market. His Niigata Dirt run before that was another midfield effort at long odds, so the winning profile is limited. The veteran has placed often through a long career, but his best path here looks more place-oriented than winning.

Comes here third-up after a sixth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten eight and a half lengths when big odds and only fair late. His prior Nakayama Dirt run was also well below what is required, beaten over 12 lengths. The return to 1800m is in his favour and he has won at this track, so he can improve enough to press for a placing.

Returns after two months off following a last-place finish at Hanshin Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths after settling back and weakening further. He had also faded badly at Chukyo Dirt start prior, beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. His one win and two placings from nine starts at this track and distance are relevant, but the current form line is hard to support.

Returns after two months off having finished fourth at Hanshin Dirt, beaten just over five lengths after failing to quicken. That was still a sound enough platform given his broader profile: two wins and six placings from 15 starts overall, plus one win and three placings from five at this track and distance. With Cristian Demuro back aboard, he shapes as a strong winning chance.

Returns after two months off after finishing ninth at Hanshin over 1600m, beaten four and a half lengths when unable to produce a change of gears. His previous run over 2000m was weaker, beaten over 10 lengths after having his chance. He is one from three at around 1800m and comes from a strong track stable, so a placing is possible if he sharpens up.

Comes into this in genuine form, with seconds at his past two starts. He was runner-up at this track last time, beaten three lengths by Tagano Animacion, after a length-and-a-half second to Sunrise Oscar at Hanshin Dirt over 2000m. Two wins and two placings from seven starts this season underline his consistency, and he has the form to make a serious winning bid.

Resumed with a determined win at this track, beating Tamamo Lamp by a neck after sitting near the top of betting and responding when required. The start prior at Chukyo Dirt was plain, but his overall record is far more compelling: two wins from four starts, two from two at this venue and two from three with Atsuya Nishimura. He sets the standard again.

Was well held first-up at this track, finishing sixth and beaten over 12 lengths by Tagano Animacion after giving away too much start. His Chukyo Dirt run before that was similar, ninth and beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. He has placed at this track and distance, but the recent margins leave him with a significant form gap to close.
