Makes her debut from barrier 1 for Yukio Abe, with Daimyo Otshata taking the ride at 55kg. The inside draw is the clearest advantage, while the stable's first-starter record shows 3 placings from 6 runners without a win. By Roger Barows from Golden Hour, she has some appeal for a forward showing, but the profile points more to a minor hope unless she is ready straight away.

Debuts from a favourable barrier 2 for Akiko Okita and carries 55kg under Katsuki Niwa. The trainer has placed with 1 of 4 first starters, while the Best Warrior pairing has returned 2 wins from 32 runners. Her half-sibling Rodelinda was seventh on debut over 900m at Saga, so the draw is the main practical asset. She looks a realistic placing chance rather than a clear standout.

Starts his career for Uto Hideki from barrier 3 and carries 56kg. The dam Ocean Lady has produced several winners, including Lovely Senna with 7 wins and Peace One Verite with 6, so there is depth in the family. Even so, the stable's first-starter sample is 0 wins and 1 placing from 3 runners, leaving him with a bit to prove against sharper debut profiles.

Steps out for Uto Hideki with Kondo Hayato aboard and gets in with 53kg from barrier 4. The trainer's first-starter record is modest at 1 placing from 3, but the Eskendereya combination has produced 1 win from 3 runners. That gives her a cleaner profile than several others, and the light weight helps her appeal as a first-four and placing hope.

Makes his debut with the strongest set of debut indicators in the field. Tsuyoshi Kawanishi has won with 4 of 8 first starters and placed with 7, while the Makfi stable pairing has produced 8 wins from 27 runners. Soichi Kato is one of the leading jockeys at this track, and although barrier 5 is no gift, the overall stable and rider profile makes him the runner to beat.

Makes her first appearance for Enokiya Mitsuru and carries 53kg from barrier 6. The stable has produced 1 win from 6 first starters, while the Beach Patrol combination sits at 1 win from 20 runners with 7 placings. Those figures leave room for a competitive debut, but she lacks the stronger family and stable signals of the main chances and has to lift above profile.

Debuts from barrier 7 for Enokiya Mitsuru, and the family gives her a genuine winning profile. Chou Cream won on debut and later won at Kyoto over 1200m, while In The Movie was placed on debut and won city races at Sapporo and Chukyo. The stable-sire pairing has 12 placings from 29 runners, so despite the wide draw she looks a strong danger.
