Comments

Progressive filly who broke through at this track last start, winning by two lengths from Mahuika after tracking the speed and starting near the top of betting. The run prior was also encouraging when second to Davay Crystal, coming from well back at long odds. Genta Ochiai has been aboard for a win and a placing, so she has enough upside to press for another placing.

Comments

Went close at this track last start when third to Lady Pink, beaten just over a length after travelling well behind the leaders and working home evenly. That followed a sharp three-length win over Token Gin Fizz, so the form is sound, even allowing for the beaten-favourite tag last time. Proven at the distance and drawn to use her speed, she looks a strong winning hope.

Returned to winning form at this track last start, leading and kicking strongly to beat Anima Gemina by two and a half lengths. Two back she was fourth to Alphonsina, beaten seven and a half lengths, but did make ground late. With Masaaki Kuwamura sticking and a solid recent profile, she shapes as a realistic place chance rather than a clear top pick.

Was plain last start when sixth to Davay Oscar, beaten just under five lengths after sitting close enough and failing to finish off. Her previous run was much better, winning by two lengths from Southern The Baron as favourite. One win and two placings from five starts at this track and distance keep her in the mix, but she has to rebound quickly.

Comments

Caught the eye late when fifth to Davay Oscar last start, beaten just under four lengths after settling well back. The concern is that her previous fifth behind A Shin Skuld was an eight-and-a-half-length defeat at big odds, and her overall strike-rate is only modest. She can pass tiring runners, but a sharper overall performance is required.

Improved sharply to win at this track last start, scoring by two lengths from Yi Er Thunder despite being sent out at long odds. That followed a fourth to Kemo Sahbee when he came from well back and made solid inroads, so the upward trend is clear. His overall record is not flash, but he has found the right form and can make a strong impact again.

Showed early pace when fourth to Davay Crystal last start, but was beaten just over seven lengths after leading into the lane and tiring late. The run before was harder to like, finishing last behind Lady Pink and beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in the market. She has won at this track and distance, but others bring stronger recent substance.

Recent form is plain, with a last to Davay Oscar last start when beaten over 10 lengths after leading and weakening right out of it. His previous sixth behind Smart Wain was also safely held, beaten just under seven lengths at big odds. A past track-and-distance win is noted, but he will have to finish off far better to be a factor.

Has struggled badly at her last two, finishing last to Davay Crystal and beaten over 15 lengths after failing to quicken. The previous seventh behind Lady Pink was also a wide-margin defeat at big odds. She does have a prior track-and-distance win and a light weight, but the recent form leaves her with a major task.

Comments

Has been knocking hard, finishing second at this track at his past two, most recently beaten half a length by Davay Crystal as odds-on favourite. He was also only a length from Lady Pink the run before and has one win and two placings from three starts at this track and distance. The wide draw is manageable given his consistency, and the Ishikawa booking helps make him the horse to beat.

Comments

Bounced back strongly at this track last start, beating Saori by just under a length as favourite after settling prominently and finishing off well. The start prior was a plain eighth behind Davay Oscar, beaten nine and a half lengths, so she still has to prove she can hold that level. From a leading stable, she remains a genuine place hope.

Comments

Made some late ground when fifth to Davay Crystal last start, but was still beaten seven and a half lengths at big odds. Two back she finished second last behind Lady Pink, beaten over 11 lengths, and she again looks likely to concede a start from the rear. Her track-and-distance win is a positive, but current form points to a tough assignment.
