Comments

Finished fifth at this track last start, beaten ten lengths after conceding a big start and always having too much to do. The run prior was also plain when eighth behind Elizabethtown, with the market showing little confidence on both occasions. His seven wins at this track and distance keep him in calculations for a minor placing, but recent form leaves him relying on a sharper finish.

Comments

Dropped right out at this track last start, finishing last behind A P Poetess and never competitive in a heavy defeat. That followed an eighth at Kanazawa in B2 grade when she failed to get into the race at long odds. She has won at around this distance, but her current form has fallen well short of what is required to threaten here.

Comments

Resumed with a fifth at this track, but the market expected more and she gave very little late when beaten over 12 lengths by Gateau. Her earlier fifth at Kokura Dirt came in a F Mdn over 1700m, where she was only fair through the line. Still lightly raced and drawn to get every chance, she appeals more as a place prospect than a confident winning play.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third at Ohi in a COND over 1200m, beaten just over three lengths and working home evenly. That was a clear step in the right direction after a long-margin ninth at Chukyo Dirt, and the class drop helps third-up. Her two unplaced runs around 1400m are the query, but she has a realistic minor-placing profile.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Finished second last at this track last start, beaten a long way by Habataku Jiyuni and unwanted in the market. The start prior was much the same, again second last and well beaten after getting a long way back. She has a distance win in the record, but the recent evidence is too plain to make a strong case.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 14th at Nakayama Dirt, beaten six and a half lengths after settling with too much to do. He had been better when fifth at Niigata Dirt the start prior, beaten just under six lengths as an outside chance in betting. The class drop gives him a chance to improve, though 1400m is new territory and keeps him to place claims.

Comments

Was beaten just under five lengths at this track last start after being sent out odds-on favourite, with the run home finding him out late behind G T True. His previous start at Nakayama Dirt was a total forgive only in the sense that it was too poor to take literally, as he tailed off after leading. Third-up for the leading stable, he has enough overall consistency to rebound strongly.

Comments

Faded late when seventh at this track last start, beaten 24 lengths behind Ascot Dance at big odds. The run prior was also weak, finishing last behind Pegasus Wind after again giving ground late. He is unplaced from six starts and has missed a placing in all three tries around 1400m, so a major turnaround is required.

Expected Settling Position: Backmarker

Comments

Resumes after a two-month break having finished eighth at Niigata in a Mdn over 2000m, beaten four lengths after tracking the speed and battling fairly. His previous sixth at Sapporo was also honest enough in Mdn company, and the class drop looks the key positive despite an unplaced record around 1400m. With the leading track rider engaged, he gets a strong chance to break through.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield

Comments

Went close at this track last start, finishing second to Lac Puer and beaten just under a length after tracking the speed and lengthening nicely. That followed a fifth here when well supported, so the latest run was a welcome return to his better level. Proven at this track and distance and reunited with a rider who has won on him twice, he is a serious winning chance.
