Comments

Has been safely held in both recent runs, finishing seventh at this track last start when beaten five and a half lengths by El Aurens after conceding a big start. The run prior was weaker again, second last and beaten over 12 lengths behind Muscle Back at long odds. He is fit and has won at this level before, but current form leaves him with a sharp improvement task.

1500m - 1900m

Comments

Comes back to 1500m after finishing seventh over 1900m at this track, beaten just over seven lengths after settling rearward. His previous run was also only fair, but the key appeal is a strong record at this track and distance, with four wins and one placing from six tries. Recent form is below his best, yet the return to his preferred set-up keeps him in the place mix.

Comments

Won at this track last start, working home over the top to beat Peace Ocean by just under a length when near the top of an open market. That was a clear positive, but he had been beaten three and a half lengths by Layover the run before and Aquilone also has a recent edge over him. Proven at this track and distance, though he still has to show that latest win stacks up here.

Comments

Just missed as odds-on favourite last start, finishing third and beaten a long neck by El Aurens after being pipped late. That followed a dominant three-length win over Derma Susobarai at this track, so his current form is strong. With two wins and a placing from five at this track and distance and H Yoshihara boasting four wins from five on him, he rates as a serious winning chance.

Had a flat one last start when last behind El Aurens, beaten eight and a half lengths after failing to finish off. The stronger reference is his previous win at this track, where he beat Aquilone by half a length after leading and starting near the top of betting. That form keeps him under consideration, but he must rebound quickly to be more than a placing hope.

Brings the best overall profile despite a plain seventh in COND company last start, where she was beaten just under seven lengths and never in the picture. The previous run was a five-length win over Layover at this track, and her broader record is excellent: seven wins from 21 overall, three wins and four placings from nine at this track and distance, plus a superb record with Taiga Kurihara. This is her race to win.

Finished sixth at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths by Muscle Back after having the job ahead but not folding. Her second to Sunadokei two back was much better, beaten only half a length when well found in betting. Six wins and two placings from eleven at this track and distance is the clear drawcard, making her a sound place chance if she returns to that earlier level.

Comments

Returns from a lengthy spell after ending last campaign with a weak tenth in A2 grade at this track, beaten over 14 lengths by Famous Dandy. She had picked up fairly for fifth behind Balmy Weather the start before, but her record at around 1500m is a genuine concern, with seven attempts for no wins or placings. Fresh form has to be taken on trust, and others bring stronger claims.

Closed off strongly for fifth behind El Aurens last start, beaten only a length and a half despite being unwanted in the market. That was a better effort than his ninth behind Muscle Back two weeks earlier, when he was beaten over 10 lengths after settling back and making no impact. The latest run gives him some each-way interest, but he has to repeat it before being trusted.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing 11th at Hakodate in ALLOW grade, beaten just over two lengths by Marble Palace despite being at long odds. His previous seventh at Niigata was also at big odds, though he worked home fairly after settling rearward. First look at this venue and last 12-month stats are against him, but the narrow beaten margin before the break gives him place claims fresh.

Ran well when second to Layover at this track last start, beaten half a length after working home evenly and starting near the top of an open market. He had been fifth in A2 grade as a prohibitive odds-on favourite the start before, so there is a slight knock there, but two wins and a placing from four at this venue and a good record with Akihiro Yoshida make him a strong danger.

Was well held last start when eighth behind Muscle Back at this track, beaten just over eight lengths and unwanted in the market. Her second to Francorchamps two back in A2 grade was far better, coming from long odds and working home well, so there is an older form line with some merit. However, she has not won at this venue from nine attempts, leaving her with work to do.
