Comments

Comes in chasing four straight after winning an A5 at this track by a length and a half, sent out odds-on and putting the race away strongly. That followed a B1 win from Sayahime when she had to fight late, so the current form has substance as well as consistency. Barrier 1 and Soichi Kato retaining the ride are further positives, and her 1400m record reads strongly enough to make her the one they all have to beat.

Comments

Finished sixth in A3 company last start but was beaten just under two lengths after racing prominently and working home evenly, so the margin keeps him right in this. The start prior B1 win from Oken Boss showed a sharper turn of foot, and he has two wins from three starts at this track. Back at a distance where he has already won, he looks the most obvious danger to the top pick.

Comments

Has been kept safe by his course-and-distance profile rather than recent finishing positions, with one win and two placings from five starts at this track and distance. Last start he was sixth behind Stapes Shoma over 1700m, beaten just over five lengths after settling back, and he was unwanted in betting again. The class relief helps, but he profiles more as a place hope than a win threat.

Comments

Led but faded to finish last over 1700m at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths and unwanted in the market. Two back he also led in A1 grade before weakening into sixth, beaten just over nine lengths. The class drop, weight relief and proven 1400m background are positives, but he will have to sustain his effort much longer to threaten.

Comments

Worked home well from an impossible-looking position when fourth in A1 grade at this track last start, albeit still beaten seven and a half lengths by Gold Bond. Her previous sixth was also at A1 level and came at big odds, so the winning edge has been missing. This is a more suitable setup and her track-distance record gives her a genuine minor-placing chance.

Comments

Could not go on with it when fifth behind Stapes Shoma over 1700m at this track last start, beaten just under five lengths after having every chance near the leaders. The run prior was stronger, winning a B1 here by a neck from Ingenious with a neat late finish. With Katsuki Niwa having a good record on her, she has claims to fill a place if she recaptures that sharper effort.

Comments

Held third behind Katharsis at this track last start, beaten two lengths after being run down late, and that was a much sounder effort than her previous fifth over 1700m. Her broader profile is the attraction: five wins from 14 overall, five wins from nine at this venue and two wins from four at the distance. With Seigo Tsukamoto back on, she has the credentials to win if she repeats her best local form.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Was seventh behind Stapes Shoma last start, beaten just over nine lengths after being swamped late, and his previous ninth in A1 grade was a heavier defeat. The historical track-and-distance record is strong, with seven wins from 15 starts at this track and distance, but current form is well short of that level. He would have to turn back the clock to trouble the main hopes.

Comments

Finished fourth in B3 company at this track last start, beaten just over nine lengths after settling back and starting unwanted in betting. The more compelling reference is her narrow third two back in B6 grade when a short odds-on favourite, and she has three wins from seven starts at this track and distance. The light weight helps her place case, though she has to be sharper than last time.

Comments

Dropped out sharply when second last at this track in A3 company last start, beaten over 14 lengths by Teruken Leinster after travelling close enough to be a factor. His Ohi run prior was another heavy defeat when last behind Nine Esquire. He is a proven 1400m winner, but recent form and the prior defeat by Aster Ruthenium leave him with plenty to turn around.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last in an ALLOW at Nakayama Dirt, where she was well held from a rearward position and unwanted in the market. Her Niigata run prior was also a heavy defeat at long odds. She is third-up and has a good record with Junki Mochizuki, while past 1400m form gives some hope, but she must show far more under race pressure.
