Comments

Has been well beaten at both recent starts, finishing tenth behind Black Red at this track after going around at big odds. The start prior was no better when she conceded a big start and was never involved over 1200m. One placing from eight attempts around 1400m and no wins from 30 starts leave her with a substantial task despite the kinder setup.

Comments

Returns from two months off after finishing eighth behind Philippine over 1600m at this track, beaten just over eight lengths after travelling close enough but offering little. He was also ninth behind Smart Sierra the run prior. The class drop and third-up profile are positives, yet a winless 41-start record keeps him in the minor-money mix rather than a strong winning shape.

Comments

Has struggled badly in two recent 1200m runs at this venue, most recently finishing second last behind Delizia after settling rearward and weakening further. She was also second last behind Cat Day before that and was unwanted in the market. The step back to 1400m offers little comfort on exposed form, with no placings from five tries around the trip.

Comments

Finished ninth behind Black Red at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths and unwanted in the market. Her previous ninth behind Philippine was only marginally better, with the run pattern again suggesting she had too much to do. She has been beaten by stronger hopes in this field and remains unplaced in nine starts at this track and distance.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after going within a neck of Philippine over 1600m at this track, finishing strongly from a double-figure price. He had also worked home well for fifth behind Tiger Shark over 1200m, so his closing form has been consistent. With two wins and five placings from 20 starts around 1400m, he brings the right profile to convert this time.

Comments

Continues to race well, finishing third behind Black Red at this track last start after being well found in an open market. Her previous fourth behind Delizia had merit, as she came from many lengths back and kept closing. She is still looking for a 1400m win, but three placings at this track and distance and a strong record with Yu Takahashi keep her right in the contest.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after being tailed off when last seen at this track, having also been beaten a long way the start prior. She has won at this venue from a small career sample, so there is some back-form, but her recent campaign ended poorly. The 1400m is new territory and she would have to return in much sharper order.

Comments

Comes off a strong last-start win at this track, scoring by a length and a half from Marukan Presto at big odds. That followed a plain ninth behind Red Floga when he could not make ground, but the latest result is backed up by three wins and three placings from eight starts around 1400m. Third-up with Wada Joji aboard again, he has the form to go on with it.

Comments

Disappointed first-up when fourth behind Black Red at this track after being backed into very short odds-on territory, so that defeat cannot be ignored. Her earlier second behind Porte D'Italie showed she has ability, even if she was safely held there as well. Lightly raced and placed twice from three starts around this distance, she is a credible place chance if she rebounds.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Has been safely held in two recent 1600m runs, most recently finishing second last behind Beiden Flash after being close enough before fading out. She was also eighth behind Philippine at this track at long odds. A previous win at this venue and the class drop keep her in the wider place discussion, but she must finish off far better than she has lately.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
