LORD FLORIS (2) sets the standard after going under by a neck at Hanshin, where he loomed up, fought hard and had SOKAI FUNKY behind him. His debut fourth at Chukyo gave him a platform and the third-up profile points to a colt ready to convert. ON YOUR MARKS (3) resumes after four months but his sole Hanshin third behind Incarnata was sharp enough, with market respect and a neat draw adding to the case. Everything points towards a forward showing. SOKAI FUNKY (9) is reliable, placed in both starts and already proven around this trip, though LORD FLORIS holds the recent head-to-head edge. WINNER'S CHECK (8) returns after ending her first campaign with a neck second at Fukushima, and her debut from long odds was better than the market expected, keeping her a sound top-three danger if she returns in that same closing style.

Was safely held on debut at Hanshin, finishing tenth in a 2yo NEWCOMER and beaten over 12 lengths after settling handy but offering little in the straight. She was at long odds there, so the market expected improvement would be required. The class drop gives her a softer setup, but she has a sizeable form gap to close before becoming a serious factor.

Went within a neck of breaking through at Hanshin last start, looming up and fighting hard after being near the top of an open market. That built neatly on a debut fourth at Chukyo, where he settled rearward and still gained useful race experience. Third-up now, with the recent edge over Sokai Funky, he has the right profile to turn consistent improvement into a maiden win.

Comments

Resumes after four months following a sound debut third in a 2yo NEWCOMER over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten a length and a half by Incarnata. He was respected near the top of betting and picked up nicely to get into the money, which gives the form genuine substance. The 2000m is new, but with Yutaka Take back aboard and that debut promise, he rates strongly.

Comments

Showed enough on debut at Hanshin to stay in the mix, leading in a 2yo NEWCOMER over 1600m before working home evenly for fifth, beaten three and a half lengths. She now has race experience and comes from a leading trainer-jockey combination, which adds some confidence. The first try at 2000m is the question, but she can hold a place claim with natural improvement.

Comments

Finished tenth on debut at Hanshin, beaten over 11 lengths in a 2yo NEWCOMER after settling just off the lead. She was unwanted in the market and there was no clear excuse in the run, which makes the margin hard to overlook. The class drop is some help, but the move to 2000m is unproven and she will have to improve sharply.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing seventh in the G3 Sapporo Nisai Stakes, beaten over 10 lengths by Shonan Galleon when unable to pick up from near the leaders. His debut third at Sapporo was much better, closing into a placing at outside odds. Back to maiden company he is entitled to be more competitive, though 2000m remains untested.

Comments

Finished a distant last on debut at Hanshin Dirt, conceding a huge start and never getting into the race as a big-odds runner. Blinkers go on for the first time and the class drop offers some assistance, but the switch to 2000m is another unknown after that heavy defeat. He must show far more early intent and finishing response to threaten these.

Resumes after three months having ended her first campaign with a narrow second at Fukushima, beaten a neck by Vip Venus after finishing strongly over 1800m. Her debut fifth there was also better than it reads, making up many lengths at long odds. The first try at 2000m is the query, but her two-run profile gives her genuine place appeal fresh.

Has placed in both starts and again ran honestly when third at Hanshin, beaten just under three lengths behind Saimon Legacy. He finished strongly there after a debut third at Chukyo, where he tracked the speed and fought on after starting at long odds. Lord Floris had his measure last time, but his 2000m record and race fitness keep him high among the chances.

Comments

Was safely held first-up at Hanshin, finishing sixth of seven and beaten five lengths after failing to quicken at long odds. His previous run at Kokura was more competitive, a fifth beaten just under four lengths, but he remains unplaced from three starts overall. The class drop gives him some hope of improvement, though he profiles as a minor chance only.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield
