Comments

Back after six weeks following a plain second-last at Niigata, where he conceded a big start and was never in the race, beaten just under ten lengths at big odds. The start prior was also well below standard in a 4yo+ Maiden Steeplechase at Nakayama, beaten over 16 lengths and unwanted in the market. The class drop and gear change are noted, but recent form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after ending last preparation with a 13th at this track, beaten over 12 lengths after fading late at big odds. His prior ninth here had more merit, as he worked home fairly from well back, and he does have a win at around this distance. Even so, being unplaced in all five starts this season makes him hard to support with confidence.

Arrives third-up after a fair fifth at Nakayama Dirt, beaten six and a half lengths over 1800m when near the top of an open market. His previous third at Niigata Dirt was stronger, beaten just under three lengths, and he has a win and a placing from three runs at this distance. Kazeno Takatoshi beat him last time, but the 1600m profile and fitness bring him right into the winning mix.

Comments

Resumes after three months off following consecutive thirds at Fukushima Dirt, each time beaten five lengths after proving honest without quite finishing it off. His broader 1600m record is sound, with two wins and three placings from 11 tries, and he has a solid association with Junji Shimada. Fresh, he profiles as a reliable place chance rather than a horse to take short odds about.

Closed nicely for fourth at Nakayama Dirt last start, beaten just under four lengths over 1800m at generous odds, and that followed a fifth at Niigata Dirt when only two and a half lengths away. He beat Night Slugger last time and is now third-up with Keita Tosaki back aboard. The return to 1600m is some query, but his current form gives him genuine minor claims.

Resumes after three months off following a safely held sixth at Sapporo Dirt, beaten just under four lengths in a small field. The start before was weaker again at Hakodate Dirt, where she made no headway and was beaten eight and a half lengths. She has placed three times from seven runs at this track and distance, but recent efforts point to a mare who must lift sharply.

Returns from a four-month break after a dominant win at this track, beating The Rose Hearts by five lengths as a very short odds-on favourite. That followed a narrow second in a 3yo ALLOW here when pipped late by B B Closer, so his exposed 1600m form is strong. With one win and two placings from three runs at this track and distance, he resumes as a serious winning chance.

Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing ninth at Chukyo Dirt, beaten just under seven lengths at big odds after giving himself too much to do. His previous seventh at Tokyo was also safely held, and he remains unplaced in all five starts this season. He has had one prior try around 1600m without placing, so the setup does not offer enough to offset the form concern.

Resumes after three months off having ended last preparation with a sixth at Fukushima Dirt, beaten eight and a half lengths after never looking a winning hope. Two back he was tenth at this venue over 1400m and again failed to threaten. He has one placing from four attempts around 1600m and is unplaced in nine starts across the past 12 months, leaving others with stronger claims.

Resumes after three months off following a poor 13th at Niigata Dirt, where she was beaten over 13 lengths after weakening from the rear despite market respect. Her previous sixth at this venue was more competitive, beaten just over three lengths at big odds, and her track-and-distance record is strong. That proven local profile helps, but she has to rebound from a very flat finish.

Resumes after three months off following a third at Kawasaki in a 3yo+ COND, beaten three and a half lengths as odds-on favourite after working home evenly. His prior fourth at this venue was sound without being sharp, beaten just under five lengths. He has one win and four placings from 12 starts around 1600m, so he profiles as a place hope with a win query.

Resumes after three months off following a heavy second-last at Kokura Dirt, where she gave away a big start and was well beaten by 22 lengths. Her previous fourth in a 4yo+ FM ALLOW at Hanshin Dirt was far more respectable, beaten four and a half lengths, but that sits well back in the form. A repeat of the latest run would leave her struggling to be competitive.

Resumes after three months off having strung together two wins, most recently scoring by a length and a half at Niigata Dirt after travelling kindly and quickening well. He had earlier won a 3yo Maiden at this venue, arriving late to beat Into The Wind by half a length. His seasonal profile is progressive, and while this is a deeper test, he has earned place respect.

Brings the best recent consistency, finishing fifth at Sapporo Dirt last start when beaten two and a half lengths after sitting in touch and working home fairly. Two back he was beaten only a nose at the same venue, and he has a solid record around 1600m with two wins and six placings from 18 attempts. With Yuji Tannai back and a race-fit profile, he sets a clear winning standard.

Returns from a five-month spell after winning a 4yo+ ALLOW at this track, beating Collevecchio by a neck after looming into it and finding enough late. The run prior was a nose second here behind Seven Meister, so his venue form is hard to fault. With two wins and two placings from five starts at this track and distance, he is a genuine fresh place chance.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a plain second-last at Niigata Dirt in a 3yo Open, beaten over 19 lengths after fading late. The run prior is the key reference: he won a 3yo ALLOW at this track by three lengths, beating Gold Barows in a very easy display. Back to a proven 1600m setup, he has the talent to rebound strongly if that local win is repeated.
