Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell with the strongest overall profile in the race. His latest run before the break was only fair when fifth at this track, beaten just over eight lengths as favourite by Charing Cross, but the Kyoto fourth prior behind Omega Navigator had more merit. He has placed twice from three goes at this distance and Christophe Lemaire has a strong record on him, so a return to his better form makes him the one to beat.

Resumes after three months off having won his past two starts at Niigata, most recently beating Gonfaloniere by three lengths after being sent out favourite. He had earlier cleared maiden grade by three and a half lengths from Takeru Focus, again with market confidence. His overall record is very consistent, but this is a stronger test of his finishing quality and he profiles as a genuine place chance.

Comments

Back after two months between runs and reaches his third run of the campaign with improvement required. He was sixth at Nakayama last start, beaten eight lengths at long odds by Blue Maestro, after fading to second last at Chukyo when unwanted in betting. He has not raced around 2400m before and has been unplaced in all seven starts in the past 12 months, so the case is only for a minor share if he lifts.

Resumes after three months off following a decisive Sapporo win, where he beat Aurum Ares by two lengths as an odds-on favourite and still had something in hand late. He also contested the G2 TV Tokyo Hai Aoba Sho (Japanese Derby Trial) at this track, finishing fifth behind Going To Sky. With two wins from three starts this season and the winning rider back aboard, he is a serious winning threat fresh.

Second-up after a plain eighth at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Femme Courageuse after giving the leader a start and failing to threaten. His G2 Kyoto Shimbun Hai run was also well held, finishing last at big odds after tiring in the lane. He has not raced around 2400m before and is unplaced in two starts at this venue, so a sharp turnaround is required.

Second-up after making a winning return at this track and distance, coming from well back to beat Voute Celeste by a neck while near the top of betting. He had been fifth to Elliptic Curve at this venue before that break, beaten three and a half lengths, so the fresh win was an important response. With two wins and two placings from five starts around 2400m and a strong record with Yusuke Hara, he is a sound each-way player.

Resumes after three months off following a narrow Chukyo second, beaten half a length by Kafuji Emmental after being pipped at the post. His Hanshin sixth before that was still sound enough, beaten just under three lengths when near the top of betting. He has two wins and three places from eight starts overall, though his one attempt around 2400m was unplaced, so he shapes as a strong place hope with upside.

Second-up after finishing last at Tokyo Dirt, beaten a long way by Cosmic Dancer after conceding a huge start and never entering the contest. He had also finished last at this track behind Charing Cross, where Pic Des Mouches had him covered earlier in the campaign. With two wins from 71 starts and no placing from nine runs in the past 12 months, others bring far stronger claims.
