850m - 1400m

Comments

Has the track-and-trip profile to be competitive, with one win and one placing from three tries at around 1000m and a good overall record at this track. The recent evidence is harder to endorse, finishing fourth to North Prima at Mizusawa when unwanted in the market after being beaten a long way there the run prior. The set-up is kinder, but current form leaves her with plenty to find.

Comments

Returned to winning form at Mizusawa when a prohibitive odds-on favourite, leading and opening up to beat Saisir Le Reve by just over a length over 850m. The run prior was a safely-held seventh in 3yo+ B1 company at this venue, so this looks a more suitable task. The 1000m is a small query, but she has a track-and-distance win and a strong record with Reika Sekimoto, keeping her high among the winning chances.

Comments

Second-up after finishing eighth at Mizusawa, beaten just over nine lengths after settling well back and making no impression late. Her previous run was also plain, finishing second last and beaten over 14 lengths, so there is no obvious recent platform to build from. The class drop is some help, but she has to show far more before she can be treated as a serious threat.

Comments

Ran well two starts back at Mizusawa when sent out favourite and beaten a neck by Lord Twilight after travelling well just off the lead. Last start was a step backwards, leading into the lane before tiring to finish sixth behind North Prima, beaten just over six lengths. His long association with Ryo Kobayashi is a plus, but his profile points more towards a placing than a win.

Comments

Has a small track-and-distance positive, with one win and one placing from three starts at this course and distance, but her recent form is well below the required level. She was seventh behind North Prima last start at Mizusawa after fading late, and second last there the run prior at long odds. The class drop alone is not enough to offset how flat her latest efforts have been.

Comments

Worked home well to finish second behind North Prima at Mizusawa last start, though the margin was four lengths and she was clearly held. Her previous fifth in 3yo+ B2 grade at this venue was also sound, making up ground at generous odds. The track-and-distance record and Masatoshi Yamamoto partnership read well, but she must turn the tables sharply to win this.

Comments

Lifted sharply at Mizusawa last start, leading until late before finishing third to Eikai Sophia, beaten a length and a half as an outside chance in the betting. That was a much better effort than her prior last in 3yo+ B2 company, where she was unwanted and beaten over 11 lengths. A repeat of the latest run puts her right in the minor-money picture.

Comments

Produced a sharp enough win two starts back at Mizusawa, leading and holding off Meisho Mizao by a neck. The concern is how quickly that form dipped last time, when he was there to strike but found little and finished last behind North Prima, beaten over 13 lengths. His distance record offers some support, but he profiles as a rebound place chance rather than a reliable winning option.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Arrives in excellent order after winning over 1400m at Mizusawa as a dominant odds-on favourite, fighting on to beat Nevis by half a length. He had also gone down by only a long neck to Grand Croix at his previous run, again starting odds-on, so the form is strong and consistent. Back to 1000m is the only query, but his recent ratings, class drop and Toshiki Yamamoto record give him the best winning profile.

Comments

Put the race away impressively at Mizusawa last start, sitting behind the leaders before sprinting quickly to beat Makoto Daitoren by four lengths as favourite. That was a strong response after finishing fifth there over 1600m when well-supported, but offering little late. She has already beaten several key rivals in this line-up, and a repeat of that latest turn of foot makes her a major player.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
