EMMY'S DESIRE (4) Below par when 5th last time at this venue but fitter for debut run. Worth strong consideration. COPANO OMATSURI (6) Fresh after a spell. Struggled when 5th last time here but was a debutant last start. Taito Mori stable are in good form of late. Has to be strongly considered. GUNSMITH (10) Average performance when 5th last time here but was on debut last time. Back to a shorter distance. Must respect. YORUNO KAGAYAKI (7) Disappointing effort when 9th last run at the track. Must respect in this event.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after being tailed off on debut over 1500m at this track, where she came under pressure late and finished last behind Wasshoi at generous odds. She now comes back to an untried 1200m and has already been behind Gunsmith in their only meeting. Barrier 1 gives her a kinder starting point, but she looks more a place hope than a strong winning play.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up and is now deep enough into the campaign to have race fitness on his side. Last start he conceded a big start and was never a factor when seventh to Vanilla Beans, beaten just over nine lengths. The prior fifth behind Siam Holo I Mua was only fair, but he did attract some support there and still profiles as a realistic minor-money chance.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after a debut fifth over 1000m at this track, where she was unwanted in the market and beaten a long way by Make Tiara. The run had some merit late as she worked home fairly from well back, but she was never a winning threat. The move to an untried 1200m asks another question, so improvement is required to convert place claims into something stronger.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after failing to justify a very short odds-on quote on debut, finishing fifth over 1000m at this track behind Captain Queen and beaten over 12 lengths. She travelled behind the leaders before producing only a moderate final effort, so the market got it wrong that day. Weight relief is a genuine positive now, and if she handles the untried 1200m she can bounce back strongly.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after showing early speed on debut but fading late over 1000m at this track, finishing sixth behind Captain Queen and beaten over 12 lengths. She started big odds and had no obvious excuse after leading narrowly into the straight. The extra 1200m is still to be proven, and she has to sustain that early effort much longer to threaten.

Comments

Returns from a six-month break after a debut run in which she was never competitive and finished last behind Operculicarya at this track. That bare result reads poorly, but she was near the top of betting in a small field and resumes for Yasuto Mori, a strong track trainer. With natural development from that first experience, she gets a fresh chance to show the ability expected of her.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after dropping out sharply when last behind Vanilla Beans, beaten over 17 lengths at this track. She was in the right spot to do better, so there was no clear excuse. The start prior was also poor when second last to Moriken and beaten a long way. With three unplaced runs at this venue and no placing from two at the distance, others look far safer.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up and gets to her third run of the campaign, but the form is hard to recommend. She was last over 1500m at this track last start, well beaten by 24 lengths behind Fly The Flag after conceding a big start. Her debut behind True Target was similarly plain at long odds, and even with fitness on her side she has plenty to turn around.

Comments

Recent Kawasaki form makes her difficult to support with confidence. She was second last over 900m behind Unsui last start, finished well held at big odds, and the run prior behind Shiga was even less competitive. She is race fit and tries 1200m for the first time, but five starts without a placing is a clear concern against runners with more upside.

Comments

Returns from a five-week let-up after a debut fifth over 1500m at this track, where he was near the top of betting but finished a distant last behind Wasshoi. That is a clear blot, although the early market respect suggests he had shown more before raceday. He comes back to an untried 1200m for a strong local stable, and a cleaner second-up performance would make him a genuine threat.
