Has been safely held at both recent runs, finishing seventh at this track over 2000m last start when unwanted in the market and beaten over 16 lengths by A Shin Enbarr. He was ninth the run prior, beaten over 17 lengths after settling miles back. Four wins at around 1750m show the trip is not foreign, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a second at this track, beaten five lengths by A Shin Enbarr when working home evenly at long odds. The Sonoda run before that in A2 grade was well below the mark, as she was never competitive. Her distance record is strong, with two wins and two placings from five attempts, but she resumes needing a sharper overall performance.

Was sixth over 2000m at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths by A Shin Enbarr after sitting just off the leaders and offering little late. His previous fifth behind Keiai Antares was more competitive, and he does return to a more suitable profile as a past track-and-trip winner. He has to lift on the latest run, but the 1750m credentials keep him in the minor-money mix.

Returns from a six-month break with the strongest body of form in the race. He ended last campaign second at this track, beaten a length by Bikini Boy after looming and fighting on, and the start prior he won an A1 by a length and a half from Hadiah as a dominant odds-on favourite. With three wins and six placings from 11 starts at this track and distance, he has the right profile to resume successfully.

Finished well held at this track over 2000m last start after settling a long way back and making no impression. His previous eighth at Funabashi in B2 grade was also plain, beaten over 11 lengths as a long-priced runner. Two wins at this distance are a reminder of better form, but his latest efforts have lacked the finish required to trouble these.

Returns from a one-month freshening after being tailed off at Ohi over 2400m, where he was unwanted in the market and never came into the race. The better guide is his Funabashi third in A2B1 company two starts back, albeit beaten eight and a half lengths by Sehr Schnell. He is new to this venue and has one win at around 1750m, so a place finish is the realistic aim.

Has been finishing around the mark without winning, most recently fifth at this track over 2000m when asked to make up a lot of ground and beaten over 10 lengths by A Shin Enbarr. He also worked home well for fourth behind Keiai Antares two starts back. Three wins and six placings from 17 starts at this track and distance, plus a solid record with Yukihito Nagata, make him a genuine winning threat.

Was tailed off at this track over 2000m last start after settling rearward, with the market offering little support. The Funabashi run before that in B1B2 grade was also below standard, as he finished ninth and was beaten over 13 lengths by Shimizu Minato. His career record is useful, but recent form has gone the wrong way and he will have to improve sharply.
