1400m - 2100m

Comments

Was disappointing at this track last start when ninth over 2100m, beaten over 15 lengths after having the chance to improve and offering little. The start prior is the run that keeps him firmly in play, finishing second in B1 company behind Bruce Barows over 1500m when near the top of betting. He tackles 920m for the first time, but two wins and five places from 13 starts at this venue make him a genuine rebound chance.

820m - 1230m

Comments

Has been safely held in two recent C1 runs at Sonoda, finishing eighth last start over 1230m when unwanted in the market and beaten just over nine lengths. The start prior was better on the margin, but he loomed and failed to go on with it. A class drop and weight relief are positives, while one placing from three tries around 920m says he still has to lift sharply.

Comments

Back after one month on the sidelines and second-up after finishing last of 16 at Tokyo Dirt, where he was well beaten at big odds and failed to improve from well back. That followed another last in ALLOW grade at Fukushima, beaten over 15 lengths when unwanted in the market. His overall record is better than that, but current form leaves him with a major task.

920m - 2000m

Comments

Worked home from an impossible position for fourth in B1 company at this track last start, beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. He had also made some late ground without threatening in A3 grade the run prior, so the pattern is consistent without being compelling. The class drop and previous track win help, but an unplaced 920m try keeps the winning case limited.

Comments

Was never in the picture when seventh over 2100m at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. His previous A4 run over 1500m was also only fair, though the margin was more respectable. The stronger angle is the rider change, with one win and one placing from three starts with Soichi Kato, so he profiles as a place hope if the shorter trip sparks him.

Comments

Has been well held at both recent runs at this track, finishing eighth over 2100m last start when beaten over 15 lengths at big odds after making no late impression. The start prior was another plain ninth in A4 company, unwanted in the market and unable to make headway. A past track win is noted, but the recent form is too flat to recommend strongly.

Comments

Went very close in A4 company at this track last start, finishing second and beaten a nose despite being unwanted in the market. That was a clear step forward from her fourth in B3 grade two runs back, and she carries only 52kg again. Four unplaced attempts around 920m are the query, but current form and the class drop give her a strong winning profile.

Comments

Dropped out to finish last over 1500m at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths at long odds after offering little late. The run prior was more encouraging, a third in B1 company behind Bruce Barows, though she was behind Wakagimi there. Her 920m record includes one win and six placings, so she can land in the minor money if she rebounds.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

Comments

Comes off a well-held last of 14 at Urawa, where she was at long odds and failed to improve from well back. The start prior was even weaker, finishing last and beaten out of sight after leading. A class drop offers some relief and her career record includes four wins, but recent evidence is too poor to make a convincing case.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Scored strongly in B3 company at this track last start, beating Jurista by three lengths when near the top of betting. She had been run down late as a short-priced favourite the start prior, so the latest win was a timely response. With five wins and three placings from nine starts at this track and distance, she has the right profile to be prominent again.

Comments

Comes in off the right form after finishing second at this track over 1500m, beaten a neck by Seisui Million after being run down late. He was also sound in B2 company the start prior, and the return to 920m is a strong plus given his two wins from seven starts at this track and distance. The wide draw asks for a clean beginning, but his proven sprint record makes him the clear horse to beat.
