Comments

Won on debut at Kawasaki over 1400m, picking up sharply to beat Marimo Akan Te by just under a length after being near the top of betting. Barrier one should help her settle in a practical spot, but the rise to an untried 2000m is a genuine question from that small-field COND win. She has upside, yet this asks for a much deeper staying performance.

Comments

Arrives in consistent form after running third in the Listed IVY STAKES at this track, beaten just over half a length by Capital Stone despite starting at long odds. He had won a Niigata Mdn start prior, scoring from Aniene as a short odds-on favourite. The new 2000m trip is the query, but his three-start record says he is a reliable place contender.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after a dominant Nakayama Mdn win, where he was near the top of betting and put four lengths on Sir Gustave. His debut third at Niigata behind Cestino was sound enough, and he is now one from one at this distance. With a 100% place record from two starts and race fitness on his side, he has a strong winning case.

Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after breaking through at Nakayama Dirt, leading throughout to beat Ten Yumeno Aurora by two and a half lengths. That followed a second to My Saver at the same venue, so she has built some momentum. This is her first attempt around 2000m and a different test, leaving her as a minor chance rather than a leading threat.

Comments

Returns from a six-week freshening after finishing sixth at Nakayama, beaten just over six lengths by Star Spot when big odds and never a winning factor. Her Niigata Mdn win start prior came at 61.7, so she can produce a finish at this distance, but the latest Open run exposed the task. She will have to find considerably more against these.

Returns from a three-month break after making a winning debut at Sapporo, coming over the top to beat Rhythm Of Thunder by two lengths as favourite. He is already one from one at this distance, and Christophe Lemaire being the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track adds confidence to the profile. With clear scope to return in winning order, he is the one to beat.

Returns from a five-month break after winning his Fukushima debut in a 15-runner NEWCOMER, making up a stack of ground to score from Principatus by a length with something in reserve. That closing style gives the form some substance, and he remains unbeaten from one start. The absence is the main reservation, but he has the talent to run well fresh.

Led throughout to win a Kyoto Mdn last start, beating Hanana by just over a length as an outside chance in the betting. That was a fair step forward from his debut fifth at Nakayama, where he was unwanted and beaten seven and a half lengths by Vetro Tempesta. The ¥6.8m yearling purchase has upside third-up, but he still profiles as an each-way chance only.

Finished fourth at Kyoto second-up, beaten half a length by Vip Venus after settling rearward as an outside chance in the betting. His Kokura Mdn win start prior had more authority, sprinting quickly to beat Break Girl by two and a half lengths. He has yet to place from one go at this distance, but his recent figures keep him in the genuine place mix.
