ARBEIT BOSHU (5) Finished 4th last time at this venue. Overlooking the last run. Has early speed and positions nicely. Good chance in this event. VIOLA RIKU (8) Ran 5th last time at the track. Happy to forgive that run. Won't be far away during the run. No shock to see a win. LALUZ CHASER (2) Ran 3rd last run at this track and will try to take advantage of the gate. Should come to hand quickly. Must respect in this event. SARA KANO (3) Moderate showing when 5th last start at Tokyo City Keiba and has more weight to carry. Use betting as best guide.

Comments

Finished fifth at this track last start, but was beaten over 12 lengths by Leman No Soyokaze after lacking the turn of foot required and was unwanted in the market. The start prior was weaker again, finishing fifth and beaten out of sight. He has placed once from six attempts around 1500m at this venue, yet the recent margins make this a demanding assignment.

Comments

Ran third at this track last start, though the merit is limited by the seven-length margin and the fact she was unwanted in the market. Her previous fourth behind Mozu Lady Luck was sounder, beaten four and a half lengths, but she was also beaten by Viola Riku about a month ago. With one placing from three tries at this track and distance, she looks more a minor-money hope than a winning threat.

Comments

Returns after one month following a fifth at Ohi, where she was beaten just over nine lengths but caught the eye late after having plenty to do. Her previous sixth at Ohi was plain, beaten over 14 lengths after never looking likely, so the latest effort is the better guide. With two placings from six starts and a strong local trainer in her corner, she has a realistic place profile rather than a dominant winning case.

Comments

Returns after one month since a plain seventh at this track, beaten over 13 lengths by Megrez after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The counterpoint is her start-prior win here over 920m, where she pressed forward and beat Second Nuts by three lengths when near the top of betting. That winning form keeps her in calculations, but the 1500m record remains the query.

Comments

Returns after one month off a fourth at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths by New Harpy after leading at long odds. Two runs back she was more effective, finishing third behind Mozu Lady Luck after having plenty to do and closing strongly. The mixed head-to-head record with Viola Riku says she is competitive around the fringes, and a repeat of that better effort can put her into the placings.

Comments

Worked home evenly for third at this track last start, beaten three lengths by New Harpy, and that effort reads well given he was unwanted in the market. His previous run in a Chukyo Dirt Mdn was a long way below that level, but he now comes here fourth-up and has already placed at both this venue and the distance from limited chances. That latest run gives him the strongest winning platform in the field.

Was second last at this track last start, beaten over 18 lengths by Leman No Soyokaze after settling back and giving further ground in a weak run to the line. The start prior was no better, finishing last and again beaten over 18 lengths. He is unplaced from four starts overall and has no placing from three tries around 1500m, so others bring far stronger credentials.

Comments

Returns after one month since finishing fifth at this track, beaten over 10 lengths by New Harpy after leading and getting run down late. Her previous second reads much better, as she was well-supported favourite and went under by only half a length to Mozu Lady Luck. She is still chasing a first win, but her recent ratings, distance profile and record with this jockey make her a strong winning chance.
