Returns from a two-month let-up after a strong-finishing third at Hanshin, beaten just under a length by Joy Boy at big odds. That was a sharp rebound from Sapporo, where she was second last and beaten over 16 lengths after finding little when asked. The back to 1800m is the query given she is unplaced in two goes around the trip, but that latest run keeps her in the minor-money mix.

Resumes after three months off following a heavy last at Sapporo, where he was tailed off in Open company after coming under pressure late. His previous run was much better, scoring by a length from Jun Tsubamegaeshi over 2600m at Sapporo, but he is unplaced in two starts around 1800m and has to prove he can reproduce his staying form fresh. Others look more reliable.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell with excellent 1800m credentials, having won both previous starts around this distance. His last two runs before the break were plain: ninth to Sakura Farrel at Tokyo and seventh at this track when near the top of betting. The fresh question is real, but the return to a proven trip and the booking of Mirai Iwata give him a sound place profile.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing eighth at this track over 1600m, beaten four lengths by Tommy Barows when only keeping to the task. Her fourth at Niigata before that was more encouraging, beaten just under two lengths at big odds. She has won at this track and distance, but the latest run leaves her needing to find a sharper finish to threaten the main hopes.

Returns from a six-week let-up after closing strongly for third at this track, beaten just over half a length by Wismar at long odds. He had also run well when fifth at Hanshin, only a length and a half away after tracking the speed. His record of two wins and one place from five starts at this track and distance is a strong anchor, making him a genuine each-way player.

Put the race away decisively at this track last start, beating Early Harvest by three and a half lengths after sitting near the top of an open market. That answered a plain Niigata run and her broader profile is strong: three wins from five starts at this venue and two wins from two at 1800m. With weight relief and a fourth-up platform, she sets the standard and looks the one they have to beat.

Resumes after six months off having ended last campaign with a narrow Hanshin win over Bullet Pass, making up plenty of late ground. He had earlier run second in an ALLOW at this track, beaten a length by Omega Navigator, and his record with Yutaka Take is excellent with two wins and two places from four rides. The 1800m record is the only real reservation, but his consistency gives him a major say.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain 14th at this track, beaten just over six lengths by Tommy Barows when unwanted in the market. His previous seventh at Hanshin was only fair despite starting an outside chance. He does have one win and two places from seven starts at this venue, but recent form has not shown enough to make a strong case.

Resumes after three months off following a ninth at Nakayama, beaten just over eight lengths by Amai after failing to make headway. The Chukyo fourth prior was better, beaten just over two lengths after looming but not finishing it off. He has won his only start around 1800m, which is a positive, but his latest figures leave him with work to do first-up.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a ninth at this track, beaten four and a half lengths by Tommy Barows when never a winning hope. That followed a last placing at Chukyo, beaten just under nine lengths. The counter is his strong record of two wins from four starts at this track and distance, but he has to rediscover that form quickly to be a factor.

Resumes after three months off after disappointing as favourite at Nakayama, finishing seventh and beaten six lengths by Amai after conceding too much ground. His fourth at Niigata before that was more solid, beaten two and a half lengths at long odds. Two wins and one place from seven starts at 1800m give him the right platform fresh, and his best is good enough to test these.

Was only fair through the line when eighth at Tokyo last start, beaten just over three lengths by Best Me Ever at big odds. His Nakayama fourth prior was no more than sound, but the distance profile is much stronger, with three wins and two placings from nine starts around 1800m. Third-up and reunited with Yuji Tannai, he shapes as a realistic place chance.

Returns from a five-week freshening after leading at this track over 1600m before being swamped and finishing 12th, beaten five and a half lengths. She had won at Kokura the run before, beating Tenter De Vivre by two lengths after controlling the race. The 52kg helps and she has two wins at the distance, but the latest run is a significant concern.

Returns from a two-month let-up with two solid runs behind him, finishing second at Sapporo before a fifth at Hanshin, beaten two and a half lengths by Joy Boy. He was unwanted in the market at Sapporo yet only missed by a neck, and he remains highly rated on the last 12 months. The 1800m win column is blank, but three placings at the trip and Christophe Lemaire aboard keep him right in this.

Returns from a six-week freshening after a tenth at this track, beaten three and a half lengths by Wismar when at long odds and never a winning hope. His Fukushima second the run prior was much better, beaten a neck after producing a powerful finish. Weight relief and a one-win, three-place 1800m record help, but he must bring the Fukushima version to be competitive.

Resumes after four months off following an 11th at Sapporo, beaten four and a half lengths by Yo Hin after failing to finish the race off. His Hakodate third before that was much better, closing well at big odds to be beaten a length and a half. A win and one place from four starts at this track and distance give some grounding, but others appeal more strongly fresh.
