Comments

Finished last in a B2 over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, beaten over 11 lengths by Sol De Verano after getting too far back and never looking likely. The run prior at Mizusawa was no better, with a sixth in B2 grade and a margin beyond 15 lengths. He has won at this track and distance before, but current form leaves him with plenty to find.

Comments

Returns from a six-month break after ending her last campaign with a ninth in COND grade at this track, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. She had earlier finished fifth at Mizusawa after giving away too much start, so the recent form line is not strong. Her record at this track and distance is a positive, as is Rei Iwamoto going back on, but she has to revive sharply first-up.

Comments

Resumed with a fifth at this track, beaten eight and a half lengths by Yamanin Lirio after leading, so he should have taken benefit from that second-up. His previous run at this venue was a seventh when he kept going without ever threatening. The overall career record is sound and Toshiki Yamamoto has had success on him, but the mile remains more a placing profile than a winning one.

Comments

Returned with a sound third at Mizusawa, beaten just under three lengths by Shimasan Black after keeping on well into the frame at generous odds. That was a much better run than his previous seventh in B2 grade at this track, where he was beaten over 14 lengths. His season has been very productive and he has won at this track and distance, so another forward showing is within reach.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing last in ALLOW grade at Nakayama, beaten over 15 lengths at long odds after never getting involved. Her Sapporo Dirt run before that was similarly plain, beaten over 12 lengths when unable to make any impression. Weight relief and a kinder setup help, but she is unplaced this season and must show a clear form turnaround.

Comments

Worked home only fairly when seventh at this track last start, beaten six lengths by Admire Lupus after settling with too much to do. Two back at Mizusawa he produced a much better closing effort for third behind Yamanin Lirio at long odds. He has deep 1600m experience, carries 52kg again and has a good record with Yuka Saito, making him a realistic place hope if he repeats the Mizusawa run.

Comments

Was disappointing as an odds-on favourite over 1400m at this track last start, finishing sixth behind Satisfier, though he did pick up in the straight. His prior Mizusawa second was much stronger, beaten a nose by Tovarisch after being heavily supported. He returns to a distance where he has won, and with the recent rating profile to rebound, he deserves top billing.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Went very close at this track last start, finishing third and beaten half a length by Admire Lupus after being sent out at long odds. That was a clear step forward from his Mizusawa sixth, where he was just fair through the line. He has three wins at around 1600m and solid form across the past 12 months, so that latest run gives him a proper winning platform.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Returns from a four-month break after closing off for eighth in COND grade at this track, beaten four lengths by Tosen Massimo. His run prior was a stronger pointer, winning an A2 at Mizusawa by a nose from Cape Light when finishing over the top. He is proven at the distance and gets Ryo Takamatsu back on, but first-up he still has to recapture that Mizusawa form.

Comments

Continued his consistent campaign when second at this track last start, beaten just over a length by Spiritual after settling back. He had won here two runs earlier in C2 grade, beating Palpitation by a length and a half, and his record at this venue is a major strength. With Eito Sakai retaining the ride and the form line holding up, he is a leading winning chance again.
