Draws barrier 1 for his first start and has a straightforward platform under Ryuto Yokoyama. The World Premiere colt is a full brother to Proud Bluebell, a winner from eight starts, while Happy Gemini was placed on debut. I Aizawa's first-starter record is modest but not barren, so a tidy debut can put him into the placings.

Profiles strongly for his debut as a Lord Kanaloa colt from the stakes-winning Paulina's Love, with Christophe Lemaire taking the ride. Masahiro Otake has solid first-starter figures and the trainer-sire combination has produced 15 wins from 91 starts. With Willem already a Listed-placed sibling at 2000m, this colt brings the clearest winning case.

Starts from barrier 3 as a Silver State filly for Y Kato, whose first-starter record is a notable 5 wins and 13 placings from 35 runners. Atsuya Nishimura adds Group 1-winning experience in the saddle. The family profile is less exposed than some, but the stable's debut numbers give her a credible place chance.

Comes to the races as a Satono Diamond colt from barrier 4, with Keita Tosaki booked and a practical draw for a newcomer. Yasuyuki Takahashi's recent first-starter strike rate is only fair, but the overall profile still reads well for this level. If he handles race pressure at the first attempt, he has the right shape to be a winning threat.

Makes his debut as a Rey De Oro colt bought for JPY7.04m, with a family that includes Candy Bouquet, a two-time winner. The sharper concern is the Jiro Ono debut record, with one win from 35 first starters, and the trainer-sire combination is yet to place from seven runners. He will have to outperform that profile.

Begins for Group 1-winning trainer Shoichiro Wada and has a family with winners, including Double Message and Morning Beach. The debut record around the damline is mixed, and Wada's recent first-starter return sits at one win from 23. He may develop with racing, but this looks a testing first assignment.

Arrives with substance as a JPY39.6m Silver State colt from the M Kon yard, with N Yokoyama booked. The dam has thrown several winners, including Qubit, Shonan Astra, Muga and Human Comedy, and the stable's small Silver State sample is positive. He profiles as one of the better-credentialled newcomers and should take beating.

Has some pedigree depth through Joyful Victory, whose family includes black-type performers Saqqara King and Jennifer's Dream, and Takeshi Yokoyama is a significant booking. Tomohito Ozeki's first-starter record shows no wins from 29 recent attempts, though six have placed. That tempers the case despite the useful bloodlines.

Starts from barrier 9 for M Kikukawa, whose recent debut record has produced five placings from 23 runners without a win. Daisuke Sasaki has plenty of rides on the card and ranks inside the top ten for track wins, which is a positive booking. Even so, this World Premiere colt has to show more than the raw profile suggests.

Debuts by Kizuna from a family with a clear 2000m lean, including Meiner Great, who was fifth on debut at Tokyo over this trip before winning at the track. Meiner Boss also ran fourth at his first start over 2000m. Barrier 10 is not ideal, but the pedigree and sibling evidence give him sound place credentials.

Steps out from barrier 11 as a Bricks And Mortar colt, with Piena Fevre the standout family reference as a four-time winner who was fourth on debut over 2000m. The stable's first-starter figures are quiet, and the trainer-sire record has yet to produce a placing from 16 runners. He has a fair bit to overcome first time out.

Debuts in blinkers and has a strong Kitasan Black profile for Yoichi Kuroiwa, with the trainer-sire combination showing 9 wins and 14 placings from 26 runners. The dam has thrown several winners, headed by Ras Hammel, runner-up in the Listed Wakaba Stakes over 2000m. Barrier 12 is the hurdle, but the bloodlines keep him in the mix.
