Comments

Was disappointing in B8 company at this track last start, finishing ninth and beaten over 13 lengths after being close enough before dropping out. The prior fifth behind Amiens was also only fair despite market respect, so the recent profile has lost some sharpness. The return of a winning rider and proven track-and-distance record help, but he looks more a place hope than a reliable win play.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Worked to the line without threatening when fifth in a B6 at this track last start, beaten just under three lengths after being unwanted in the market. His fourth behind Sammaime two back was closer, but he again lacked a decisive turn of foot. A long record at this distance gives him grounding, yet the past-year stats leave him with plenty to find.

Produced a much better run when third in a COND at this venue last start, beaten just over three lengths after racing close enough but not quite lifting with the winner. That was a clear return to competitive form after being second last at Sapporo in ALLOW grade. With a placing from her only run at this track and a stronger fourth-up profile, she has genuine winning claims.

Comments

Has been out of form through recent starts, finishing tenth in a B7 at this track last time after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The prior seventh in B8 company was plain as well. His track-and-distance record and rider partnership are positives, but the current form says he has to lift markedly to trouble these.

Battled away without threatening when sixth in a B4 at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths after tracking the speed. Her previous fifth behind Miya Iguazu had more merit, as she kept coming despite being unwanted in the market. The class drop is helpful and she has a solid recent placing profile, though a win would require a sharper finish.

Comments

Was safely held when seventh in a B4 at this track last start, beaten just under seven lengths, and that leaves him with work to do. Two back he did give a better sight over 920m, travelling well before being run down late into third. He is well exposed at this track and distance, but recent 1500m form makes him hard to recommend as a win chance.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a second-last in B2 company at this track, beaten a long way when near the top of betting. The run prior was far better, leading and being caught only a neck by Earl Of Kent in B4 grade. His career and track-and-distance records are strong, so he can rebound fresh if close to that earlier form.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Finished ninth in B4 company at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after giving away too much start, though he did work home fairly. The start prior was a heavy last behind Miya Iguazu in B3 grade. His broader career record is respectable for an older runner, but current form leaves him relying on a sizeable turnaround.

Comments

Comes off a weak tenth at Ohi in C3 grade, beaten over 11 lengths at 1200m after starting big odds. Her previous sixth behind Cat Day was more respectable, beaten two and a half lengths and working home evenly. She brings a sound career record but limited recent return, and her first look at this venue adds another layer of uncertainty.

Comments

Went within a long neck of winning in B1 company at this track last start, finishing third behind Sammaru Reve after being pipped late as a well-backed runner. That followed a dominant C1 win over Lovers Blue, where she kept finding and scored by five lengths. Consistent, suited at the distance and back in easier grade, she sets the standard.

Comments

Kept her form together when third in a B8 at this track last start, beaten just over three lengths by Win Rise after being run down late. She was also competitive two back, fourth behind Surf Galaxy after starting favourite. With a solid track-and-distance base and consistent recent profile, she looks one of the better winning chances despite the wide draw.
