SUNRISE EIGHT (18) Racing fresh today after a break. Put in a competitive run when placing 3rd last time at Chukyo and was on debut last time. Up to these. THRONOS (17) First up after a break. Hit the line well when 2nd last start at this track and having second race start. Must be considered. LUX ALCARD (14) Came on strongly to finish 2nd when beaten by 2 1/2L last start at Chukyo and having second career run. Underrated. LILY GALAXY (8) Resuming after a spell. Made some ground when 4th last time at Chukyo and was a debutant last start. Won't be far away and represents an each way player.

Comments

Made a sound enough debut at Kyoto, finishing sixth in a NEWCOMER over 1800m on good ground when beaten just over three lengths by Reign In The Sky. He was in touch before only working home fairly, so there was no obvious excuse, but the market gave him some respect as an outside chance. The move to 2000m is new ground and he gets weight relief, leaving him with a genuine chance if he sharpens up second-up.

Comments

Finished eighth on debut at Tokyo in a NEWCOMER, beaten just under seven lengths by Silver Noble after being sent out at generous odds. The run was plain rather than poor, with the closing effort only fair, but lightly raced maidens can improve with experience. He drops out of NEWCOMER grade and draws low, so a step into the placings is possible if natural improvement arrives.

Shaped with some promise on debut at Kyoto, finishing fifth in a NEWCOMER after starting at long odds and beaten just under three lengths by Troca Animada. He did not fully finish it off, yet the market underplayed him and the margin was competitive for this line-up. With that race experience and a class drop, he profiles as a strong winning chance if he finds a little more late.

Comments

Has been well held in both recent dirt runs, finishing 11th at Tokyo Dirt last start after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The start prior was even more severe at Nakayama Dirt, beaten a long way at big odds. Race fitness and weight relief help only slightly, with a major lift required to trouble these on current evidence.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after finishing fifth at Sapporo, beaten just under five lengths by Raison Forte after settling rearward. His debut at the same venue was less compelling, finishing sixth and beaten eight and a half lengths when unwanted in the market. The two runs provide limited winning substance, so he will have to return a more polished horse.

Returns from a six-week freshening after being well beaten at Nakayama, where he faded late and finished second last behind Texas. His debut at this track was also plain, beaten just over eight lengths by Taivas after being in touch and offering little when the pressure went on. Race fitness third-up is a plus, but the exposed form remains a clear concern.

Finished eighth on debut at Tokyo in a NEWCOMER over 1800m, beaten just over eight lengths by Satono Kagura after starting unwanted in the market. He had plenty to do and kept going without ever looking a winning hope, which leaves the form short of what is usually required here. Weight relief and a class drop help, but he must improve sharply second-up.

Returns from a three-month break after a sound debut fourth at Chukyo, where he was beaten just under four lengths by Dragon Baldr at big odds. He picked up well and was not beaten far in an eight-runner field, which gives him a fair platform for a maiden of this shape. A ¥3.3m yearling purchase, he has enough debut substance to be considered for the placings.

Second-up after a solid fifth at Hanshin, where he was beaten four and a half lengths by Gaillarde and kept to the task late as an outside chance in betting. His debut fifth at Kokura reads well, beaten only a length and a half by Eldborg despite starting at long odds. The recent and distance ratings point the right way, making him the horse they have to beat.

Returns from a three-month break after a difficult debut at Sapporo, where she finished 12th in a NEWCOMER over 1500m and was beaten over 13 lengths by Tsukimi. She gave away a big start in the straight and was never in the picture, with long odds reflecting the market's view. Weight relief and a class drop are positives, but the race form has to improve markedly.

Returns from a four-month break after finishing 12th on debut at Fukushima, beaten over 19 lengths by Cirque Du Mars at big odds. She settled rearward and never became a factor, so there is limited race evidence to support a sharp turnaround. A ¥4m yearling purchase with weight relief, but she has a sizeable performance gap to close first-up.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh on debut at this track, beaten seven and a half lengths by Taivas in a NEWCOMER. She was just fair through the line and was sent out at long odds, so the debut did not reveal a strong winning profile. The stable is respected and she has local experience, but she has to show much more under race pressure.

Returns from a three-month break after being beaten over 13 lengths at this track, where he never looked likely behind La Garriga and was unwanted in the market. His debut at Fukushima was also safely held, finishing eighth and beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds. With two unplaced 2000m runs already, the form profile is difficult to recommend.

Resumes off a two-month freshening after an encouraging debut second at Chukyo, beaten two and a half lengths by Goin To Nova in a NEWCOMER. He worked home evenly, started at generous odds and has already placed at this distance, which is valuable in a race with several unproven runners. The draw is not ideal, but his debut performance makes him a leading threat.

Finished ninth on debut at Tokyo in a NEWCOMER, beaten just over eight lengths by Silver Noble after failing to finish it off at long odds. That is a modest starting point, but he does receive significant weight relief and carries just 52kg. He will need to show more stamina late, though the lighter impost gives him some chance to improve into a minor placing.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing seventh on debut at Chukyo, beaten just under four lengths by Susan Cortina. He settled handy and was not far away, and the market treated him as an outside chance rather than a complete outsider. The 2000m is untried, but there was enough in that first run to keep him in the place mix if he comes back stronger.

Returns from a three-month break after a strong debut second at this track, beaten just over a length by Taivas in a NEWCOMER. He was near the top of betting, travelled into it with the right run and kept finding to secure the minor prize. That was at this venue and distance, and with the leading track jockey booked, he has the substance to win fresh despite a wide draw.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing third on debut at Chukyo Dirt, though he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight by Pham Viet Chanh. He did pass tired runners late to get into the frame, and the market had him near the top of an open market. A ¥39.6m buy and half brother to G3 winner Musee Sultan, but the debut margin keeps him to place claims.
