Comments

Went within a nose of winning at this track last start, looming strongly and sticking on when second to Luxe Leon in a 3yo+ A5B2. His previous fourth behind King Minister in 3yo+ A3 grade was sound enough after being run down late, and he has three wins and four placings from 12 starts at this track and distance. Drawn to race handy, he has the right profile to be a major winning chance.

Comments

Won well at this track last start, travelling right there before letting down to beat Mo Mo Rainbow by a length as favourite. She had been plain in B1 company the run prior, and she did lose to A Shin Yatagarasu and Home Run Batter a couple of months ago, but her six wins and four placings from 14 starts at this track and distance give her a compelling case. She is the runner to beat.

Comments

Has to be assessed cautiously off two heavy defeats, most recently finishing a distant last behind God Baroque at Nagoya after dropping out sharply from a suitable position. The start prior at Chukyo was no better, beaten over 15 lengths when unwanted in the market. His track-and-distance record is strong, however, with three wins and three placings from eight attempts, so a minor bounce is possible.

Worked home with some purpose from a long way back when fifth at Nagoya last start, although he was still beaten just over eight lengths and went around at big odds. That followed a ninth, beaten over 20 lengths, when never in the race. He has not placed from 11 starts in the past 12 months, so the improved latest effort must be built on sharply.

Back after six weeks on the sidelines for his second run this campaign after finishing seventh here first-up, beaten over 10 lengths by Chuwa Spring at long odds. The run prior was worse, when last and beaten out of sight in A2 grade. His six wins and five placings from 17 starts at this track and distance are respected, but current form leaves him with plenty to prove.

Comments

Lifted sharply to win at this track last start, edging out Home Run Batter by a nose in a 3yo+ A5B2 after going around at big odds. The caution is that he tired late and only just lasted, while his previous run was a last placing after conceding a huge start. Two wins from three starts at this track and distance give him genuine claims, but he shapes more as a place threat than a dominant winning option.

Comments

Was well held at this track last start, finishing second last behind Hawaiian Icon after settling with plenty to do and never looking likely. His start prior was much better, winning a 3yo+ B1 by a neck from Schrodinger, and he has one win and three placings from nine starts in the past 12 months. A return to that earlier run would put him in the minor-money mix.

Brings the strongest recent winning pattern, having scored at this track in consecutive starts, most recently beating L'Ecrin Sourire by two lengths in 3yo+ B1 grade as favourite. He was also too good for King Of World the start prior as odds-on favourite, and his six wins and one placing from eight starts at this track and distance are outstanding. He sets a high standard again.

Finished fourth at this track last start, working home evenly but still beaten just over five lengths behind Hawaiian Icon after being unwanted in the market. The previous run was a stronger reference, winning a 3yo+ B1 by half a length from Engelspiel and beating Home Run Batter and Hollyhock in that contest. That line gives him some hope, but he must find more than he showed fresh.

Comments

Comes off two heavy defeats at this track, most recently last behind Star Sand Beach over 1580m after finishing a long way back at long odds. He was also last behind Chuwa Spring the run prior, beaten over 18 lengths, with no sign of late improvement. The return to 1400m is kinder, but being unplaced from seven starts in the past 12 months is a major concern.

Comments

Back after six weeks off following a seventh at this track over 1580m, where she was close enough before fading to be beaten just over nine lengths. She had been fair to the line when fourth over the same trip the start prior. Her three wins and nine placings from 21 starts at this track and distance are positives, but recent form says she must produce a stronger closing effort.
