Comments

Improved second time out when third at this track, beaten seven lengths by Hakusan Tozan after starting at long odds. That was a clear step forward from his debut seventh, where he faded late and was beaten over 16 lengths after being near the top of an open market. Third-up fitness and barrier one help his place profile, though he still has to turn that latest placing into a sharper winning effort.

Comments

Makes her debut with no race evidence to assess, so the stable and breeding profile carry more weight than usual. Masayuki Nakagawa has placed five of six debut runners in the supplied sample, while the trainer-sire combination has produced three wins from nine starts. That is a solid enough base for a first starter in this line-up, and she profiles as a realistic place chance with upside.

Comments

Resumes after four months off, and the booking of Masayoshi Aoyagi gives her a worthwhile positive in a race lacking strong exposed form. The concern is plain: she was well beaten when second last behind K's Gloria before the break, after finishing last and making no impression the start prior. She is also unplaced in three tries around 1400m, but fresh improvement would make her a serious player here.

Comments

Has finished fifth at her past two runs at this track, most recently beaten just under eight lengths by Hakusan Tozan after starting at long odds. The run prior was a fair closing effort without threatening, but the margin was over 18 lengths and the market wanted little to do with her. With no placing from five tries at this track and distance, she looks more a rough place hope than a winning option.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after a debut that was well below the mark, finishing a distant last behind Stars Of Sawa at this track after settling rearward. That run cannot be dressed up, but he has had time away, remains open to natural improvement at just his second start and gets Taiga Kurihara, one of the leading jockeys at this track. In a thin contest, that upside gives him the strongest winning case.

Comments

Returns from a three-month break after being tailed off at Mombetsu over 1600m, where she conceded a huge start and was never in the race. Her previous run was also well held over 1000m, so recent form is a clear concern. The positives are the weight relief, the leading-trainer angle and a first look at around 1400m, but she still requires a much better finish to threaten the main chances.

Comments

Back after two months off following a debut fifth at this track, where she settled handy but did not quicken and was beaten over 18 lengths by Be The First. She was only an outside chance in the betting that day and has limited exposed evidence to recommend her yet. Second-up experience may help, but she will have to produce a much stronger closing effort to be a factor.

Comments

Failed to finish at this track last start after again being reasonably prominent in the market, which makes her difficult to trust. The start prior was a fourth behind Dan Stone Rook, but she was beaten over 15 lengths after settling rearward. Tatsuya Nakajima is the top-ranked jockey for wins at this track, yet the form itself remains well short of what is required to win this.
