DERECHO (7) Fresh after a break. In the money when 2nd last start around here and showing consistent performance in races. Gets back and needs luck. Expect to go close. MURIMURIKATATUMURI (1) Unsatisfactory performance when 7th last start here but honest performer putting a tidy record together. Performing impressively this campaign and has minimal work to do from the gate. Strong chance. GOLD CARRERA (4) Finished 5th last run at this track. Looking past the last run and promising career start. Running with confidence since returning from a break. Norifumi Mikamoto is highly regarded. Key player. YUYU ADONIS (5) Shot clear to win by 4L last time around here. Has not missed the placings this preparation in 2 attempts. Might be ridden for luck. Ticks plenty of boxes and looks like value .

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after a last-start failure that is hard to dress up, finishing last behind Black Lizard at this track when near the top of betting and beaten out of sight. The run prior was far better, winning by six lengths from Pamir as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. His track-and-trip record gives him a case, but he must rebound sharply to be more than an each-way hope.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after being beaten over 18 lengths behind Loose Aggressive at this track, when unwanted in the market and under pressure late. His previous start was a narrow win from Gold Sunday, and he has one win and two placings from four starts around 1500m. The Gold Carrera line is a hurdle, but his overall profile still gives him sound place claims.

Comments

Well beaten at Ohi last start behind Purple Fog and was unwanted in the market, so the latest figure leaves him with ground to make up. Before that he fought on strongly when second to Lauro Campione at this track, beaten a length and a half after being sent out odds-on. A return to that effort would put him in the minor mix, but the last run makes him hard to trust for the win.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up with the strongest overall case, having battled on for fifth behind Loose Aggressive last start after being an outside chance in betting. The key reference is his start-prior win at this track, where he beat Derecho by half a length as favourite. With one win and one placing from three starts at this venue, he sets the standard and looks ready to make it count.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up as a lightly raced colt with genuine upside, having won by four lengths from Attrice at this track after starting among the outsiders. His debut third behind Snow Jewel over 900m was sound enough, and he then showed a much sharper finishing profile second time out. Third-up with Ryusei Nakagoshi staying aboard, he is a strong winning chance again.

Comments

Finished fourth behind Stealth Hunter at Funabashi last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after settling rearward over 1200m. The run prior was a second to Shiga over 900m at this track, but he was heavily backed into very short odds-on territory and did not win. The new 1500m task is the key unknown, leaving him as a place chance only if he handles the extra ground.

Resumes after a three-month break having last been seen running second to Gold Carrera at this track, beaten half a length in an open market. The run prior was a fourth behind Shige King, beaten just over three lengths, and his overall record shows three placings from four starts without a win. He handles the distance range, but profiles more as a genuine place hope fresh.
