Comments

Returns from a three-month break with a strong profile for this. Last seen finishing second at this track, beaten a length by Sweet Orange after working home evenly despite being unwanted in the market. She had won a Mdn here the run prior, driving hard late to beat Zihuatanejo, and her record at this venue and distance is very reliable. With Genki Maruyama back aboard, she rates as a genuine winning threat fresh.

Returns from a lengthy spell with plenty to turn around. She was 13th in a FM ALLOW on Nakayama Dirt when well beaten by 22 lengths at long odds, following a second-last at Fukushima where she was beaten over 16 lengths. One previous win at this track is the small positive, but her recent race form is well below the level required here.

Returns from a three-month break after two respectable but non-winning efforts. He was sixth at Chukyo last time, beaten just under seven lengths after looming without breaking into the top three. The run prior had more substance, finishing sixth in the G3 Radio Nikkei Sho at Fukushima, beaten just over three lengths at big odds. Untried at 2200m, but that stakes form keeps him in the place mix.

Returns from a three-month break after a fair fifth at this track, beaten just under three lengths by Jun Raiden over 2400m when near the top of an open market. His earlier second to Timur at Tokyo was stronger, beaten just under a length after picking up well. The shorter trip is a query, and he was behind Cosmo Nahema recently, but his track record gives him some minor claims.

Returns from a five-week let-up in improving form, having finished second at Nakayama behind Yamanin Herrsche after doing plenty of work before the effort told late. She had also run third at this track, beaten just over a length by Jun Raiden when unwanted in the market. The first try at 2200m is the main unknown, but she is race fit and trending the right way.

Was fifth first-up at Nakayama, but the margin was still over 12 lengths and he was sent out at long odds. His previous run was a last placing at Chukyo in ALLOW grade, beaten just over nine lengths after failing to muster a challenge. With one win from eleven starts and no placing from four runs in the past year, he has a lot to find.

Produced his best recent effort at Nakayama last start, finishing fifth but beaten just over a length by Margot Solare after being close up late. That was a clear stronger guide than his prior fifth at this track when beaten just over eight lengths at big odds. His 2200m record is a genuine concern, yet the latest effort gives him a strong platform if he repeats it.

Returns from a four-month break after breaking through in a Kokura Mdn, holding a narrow lead and finding enough to beat Taisei Avion by half a length. That was a neat response to an earlier Nakayama Dirt eighth where she offered little and was beaten over 12 lengths. She is lightly raced and has winning upside, but this asks for another clear step forward.

Resumed with a strong second at Nakayama, beaten half a length by Meiner Master after picking up well and just missing. He had won a COND at Morioka the run prior, beating Taro by two lengths as an odds-on favourite. The step back to 2200m is the only real question after one unplaced try at the trip, but his recent form is the best winning reference in the race.

Finished 12th at Nakayama last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Meiner Master after failing to make any headway, and that also leaves him with work to do on Elnath through the same race. His previous seventh at this track was only fair. A long-standing place record keeps him in wider minor calculations, but his recent form is not strong enough to sell as a winning case.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a fourth at Fukushima, beaten two and a half lengths by Calming Lights after settling rearward. He had been eighth at the same venue nine days earlier when close enough in the betting. His overall place record is sound, including minor form at this track and distance, but the long absence keeps the assessment cautious.

Returns from a three-month break following a plain tenth on Niigata Dirt, beaten over 14 lengths by Rocket Punch after conceding a huge start. His prior Tokyo eighth in ALLOW grade was more competitive, beaten just under three lengths, but he was unwanted in the market and only fair late. He has some ability on career figures, though recent form says he must lift sharply.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a disappointing 14th in a Chukyo Mdn, beaten over 13 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. The run prior was much better, a second to Lloyd Webber when unwanted in betting. Weight relief is some help, and he has placed at this trip, but he remains a maiden who has to rebound hard.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth at this track, beaten just over two lengths by Sweet Orange at long odds, with Dia Azul ahead of her that day. She had won at Fukushima the run prior, finishing over the top to beat Mid Century by a nose. The 2200m record is only moderate, but her latest pair of runs are good enough for place claims.
