1400m - 1870m

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing seventh at Sonoda, beaten nine and a half lengths by Caro Avanti when conceding a big start and never really threatening. The run prior was weaker again, second last and beaten over 14 lengths at big odds. A class drop is some help and his 1400m record is sound, but recent form leaves him with plenty to turn around.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Built on a sound second here when winning by a neck at this venue last start, making up plenty of ground and just getting the better of Reef Aquarium. Ren Hasegawa stays aboard after that success and she has one win and one placing from three attempts at this track and distance. The deeper task is evident, but her current form makes her a genuine winning threat.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing sixth at this track, beaten just over four lengths by Something Great in 3yo+ COND company, having worked home fairly from well back. He was also safely held the run prior. Four wins and two placings from 13 at this track and distance read well, but he resumes needing a sharper return to form.

900m - 1750m

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing second last at this venue, beaten over 15 lengths by O K Angel when unwanted in the market and never in the picture. His previous 900m run was also only fair from the back. The positives are a solid overall record and proven 1400m strength, but he must rebound sharply to convert that into a placing.

Comments

Finished fifth at this track last start, beaten four lengths by Special Holiday after having a few ahead on straightening and producing only a moderate finish. She had earlier loomed before flattening out when fourth to Egg Hunt. The rider has a workable record on her and she is proven at this venue and trip, but the recent edge is not strong enough.

Comments

Improved to finish third at this venue last start, beaten just over two lengths by Special Holiday after being in the market and not quite finishing it off. That followed a fifth to Egg Hunt when settling rearward. Her 1400m record is strong and the class drop suits, but she still has to turn a minor placing into a much sharper winning effort.

Comments

Can be assessed more positively back to conditions where she has excelled, despite finishing last and beaten out of sight first-up over 1750m at this track. Her previous run produced a four-length win from Popping Berry as favourite, and the broader profile is strong with four wins and five placings from 13 at this track and distance. A clean rebound puts her right in the race.

Comments

Resumes after a three-month break and was last seen finishing second last at Kochi, beaten over 14 lengths by Stella Matutina after being prominent in betting but offering little late. His previous second to Musashi Fujin was much better, when run down late as favourite. First look at this track is a query, though his overall record keeps him a place chance.

1400m - 1750m

Comments

Was fifth over 1750m at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths by G T Reina after failing to quicken. The run prior was more encouraging, closing strongly for third to Egg Hunt and beaten a length and a half. He beat Five Roses a couple of weeks ago and has placed at his only try around 1400m, which gives him each-way appeal.

Comments

Arrives in excellent order after back-to-back wins at this venue, most recently holding a narrow lead and finding enough to beat Surreal by a nose as odds-on favourite. The prior win was decisive, putting five lengths on Sei Scarlet in 3yo+ COND company. With Shinsuke Ishikawa aboard again and an outstanding track-and-distance record, he is the one they have to beat.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after a disappointing ninth at this track over 1750m, beaten over 12 lengths by Ascot Roman as a well-supported favourite. He had also failed as odds-on favourite in 3yo+ COND company the start prior. Proven at 1400m and well ridden here, but current form makes him difficult to recommend with confidence.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
