Draws the inside for her debut and that gives this Sabuno Junior filly a practical starting point. Keita Nishi is a capable local booking, while the Chiaki Hori debut record sits at 1 win and 2 placings from 9 starters. Half-sibling Ken Wald was unplaced on debut over 1200m at this track, so she is more a place prospect than a runner to declare on profile alone.

Makes her debut with a strong set-up, drawing barrier 2 and carrying just 51kg. The Naoyuki Matoba stable has 2 wins and 5 placings from 13 debut runners, and its Smart Falcon pairing has also produced regular placings. With the stable ranked fourth for wins at this track, this filly brings the most appealing profile and looks the one to beat.

Comes to the races for a stable with an excellent debut record, Takakazu Saso having 2 wins and 5 placings from 6 first starters. Takayuki Yano, the leading rider at this track, is a major booking, and the family has produced winners through Libertad, Body Double and Mr Bobby. She has enough in her profile to be a serious winning chance first time out.

Starts out for Kazuya Omiya, whose debut runners have placed more often than not from a small sample. The Incantation filly has a middle draw and carries 54kg, but the profile is lighter than the leading chances and she has a stablemate also engaged. A competitive first showing would be encouraging, though others make stronger appeal.

Debuts for Keiyuki Suzuki, who has 2 wins and 4 placings from 9 debut runners, so there is a respectable stable pattern behind this Shanghai Bobby colt. The dam has left Yasaka Liberte, a city winner, and Yasaka Lien was fifth on debut over 1600m at this track. Barrier 5 and 55kg are fair enough, placing him among the better place chances.

Has the most substantial pedigree page in the field, with full sibling Noble Silhouette a five-time winner and several half-siblings successful. The caution is the Kiyoaki Takahashi and Sinister Minister combination, which has just 1 win from 36 starters. There is enough family depth to respect, but her overall profile sits behind the selected runners.

Begins from barrier 7 with leading jockey Wada Joji booked, and that rider engagement gives him some appeal. The Kazuya Omiya and Cheval Grand combination has 2 wins from 9 starters, while full sibling Pharma D'Or won twice and was fifth on debut at Mombetsu. Even so, he sits outside the main hopes and would have to exceed the base profile.

Opens her career from the outside barrier for Minoru Asakura, whose first starters have 1 win and 4 placings from 7. That stable debut record gives her some grounding, but there is little extra family support in the supplied profile and Hiroshi Chida has just the one ride today. She can run respectably, though the leading quartet are preferred.
