Starts from barrier 1 on debut and that gives him the chance to do things economically at his first race-day appearance. Naoto Chiba has produced 3 winners from 35 debut starters, while the family includes Emmy's Mitsuo, a seven-time winner, and Emmy's Romance, who won five races. The profile has some depth, but others bring sharper debut credentials.

Draws barrier 2 for his debut and gets M Demuro, a Group 1-winning jockey, which is a significant positive in a race of newcomers. The Yuichiro Nishida debut figures are plain, but this Pyro colt has the right map-making draw and an experienced rider to help him handle the occasion. He profiles as a genuine winning chance.

Comes to the races for the T Iwato stable with Kiwamu Ogino booked, and that rider ranks among the leading jockeys at this track. The family includes Stapes Shoma, an eight-time winner, while the trainer-sire combination has struck once from 13 attempts. She has enough positive background to be competitive for a placing.

Has a neat barrier 4 draw and represents Takeshi Okumura, whose debut record of 4 wins from 23 starters is one of the stronger stable pointers in this line-up. Y Iwata adds proven Group 1 experience in the saddle, and the Kizuna colt looks suitably placed to show up straight away. He rates among the main winning hopes.

Debuts from barrier 5 for M Kikukawa, whose recent debut record is modest with 1 win from 23 starters. The trainer-sire combination is yet to produce a placing from 6 runners, so the numbers do not offer a strong push. He may have scope as an unraced colt, but he must outperform the stable pattern to threaten.

Brings an appealing pedigree angle as a half relation to G2 winner Justin Chicago, who also won on debut. Keisuke Miyata has a strong newcomer record, with 6 wins and 11 placings from 26 debut starters, and the Drefong cross has also produced winners for the stable. That background gives him solid each-way credentials.

Steps out for Hidekatsu Shimizu, whose debut numbers are light at 0 wins from 35 starters. The dam has produced several winners, including Gangster Rap, Flash Humor and Azukichan, so there is racing substance in the family. Even so, the stable debut record keeps the assessment measured against sharper newcomers.

Has a sizeable winning family behind her, including Kizoku, Esprit Bokuchan and Deep Summit, and the Yusuke Wada-Mozu Ascot combination has placed at a strong rate. The broader stable debut strike-rate is only 1 win from 27 starters, however, so she shapes as one with background interest rather than a leading chance.
Jockey: Kosei Miura
Weight: 55kgs

Carries the strongest pedigree line in the race as a full sibling to Perriere, a proven dirt performer and G3 winner who won on debut. Kosei Miura is a key booking and ranks well at this track, while the Henny Hughes influence adds further appeal for this 1400m dirt start. She has the right profile to make a winning debut.
Jockey: Takeshi Yokoyama

Has Takeshi Yokoyama booked, and he ranks among the leading riders at this track, which is a meaningful plus for a first starter. N Suzuki also sits prominently among the trainers here and has produced 2 winners and 6 placings from 23 debut runners. Barrier 10 is a small query, but she has a sound place profile.

Debuts from barrier 11 for Masashi Fukayama, whose newcomer record shows 1 win and 3 placings from 31 starters. The family has produced useful winners such as Western Katta, Makasenahare and Morning Ajisai, but their debut records do not strongly advertise instant impact. He looks one for wider exotics at best.
Jockey: Yusuke Hara

Represents a G1-winning trainer in Tadashige Nakagawa and the stable-sire combination with Le Vent Se Leve has placed 4 times from 6 attempts. The family includes Beast Attack, a 1400m dirt winner at Hanshin Dirt, which suits the race shape on paper. Barrier 12 is not ideal, but he has enough profile to run well.
Jockey: Yuji Hishida

Comes through the T Kubota stable and the Le Vent Se Leve pairing has been reliable, with 18 placings from 34 runners. The family includes G3-placed Humidor and Rien Que Toi, who won on debut at Hanshin Dirt, giving the colt a useful base. From barrier 13, he looks more a placing prospect than a clear winning selection.
Jockey: Kazuki Kikuzawa

Debuts for the G1-winning T Iwato stable and has enough family substance through Sunrise Tyson, a winner at Kokura, to be treated seriously. Barrier 14 is the obvious complication for a newcomer, but the Nadal colt has been assessed among the better chances and brings the profile to run a bold race first time out.

Begins from barrier 15 for Shinobu Homma, whose debut record shows no winners from 25 starters and only 2 placings. The family has produced Grand Chasseur, a four-time winner, but the listed debut results among close relations are moderate. He would have to exceed those indicators to become a serious player.
Jockey: Yutaka Yoshida

Has the outside barrier for his first start, which is a testing draw for any newcomer. There is some family encouragement, with Earth Muse winning on debut at Hakodate Dirt, but M Kikukawa's broader debut record sits at 1 win from 23 starters. He has a pedigree note, though the setup asks plenty first time out.
