Makes his debut from barrier 1 for Akira Kimura and has the services of Ryo Takamatsu, who ranks highly for wins at this track. The colt is by Danon Smash out of Miss Mamma Mia, and half sibling Crystal Tower has already won from limited racing. The stable's small debut sample has produced one placing from three starters, so the inside draw and rider booking are the clearest pointers. He profiles as a genuine winning chance.

Debuts for Tsukasa Yoshida, who has just this runner on the card, and the trainer-sire pairing with Eishin Flash has produced 3 wins and 7 placings from 25 starts. Her full sibling Kaito Azalee has been winless from 24 starts, so the family evidence is mixed rather than compelling. Even so, the stable-sire numbers give her a platform to run a competitive race at first asking.

Comes to the races by Kizuna out of Princess Moon and has a useful collection of winning siblings behind him, including Satono Sphere with 5 wins and Meisho Granny with 2. Meisho Granny also won on debut over 1200m at Hanshin, which is a positive family pointer. Toshiki Yamamoto is a capable track rider and the colt looks one of the more interesting first starters for exotics.

Makes her debut for Isao Sugawara with the strongest set of first-start indicators in the race. The stable has 2 wins and 4 placings from 6 debut runners, while the Sugawara-Moanin combination has produced 9 wins and 16 placings from 23 starts. Toshiya Yamamoto is the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track, and full sibling Almond Tuile placed on debut before winning later. She has the right profile to take this out.
