1100m - 1200m

Comments

Returns from a two-month break after finishing sixth over 1200m at Mombetsu, where she was unwanted in the market and beaten just over nine lengths by Sirindhorn after settling rearward. The start prior was better, as she made up good late ground for fifth over 1100m behind Radio Girl. Weight relief is a plus, but 1700m is untried and she profiles as a place chance rather than a clear win hope.

Comments

Produced a sharp turnaround to win by six lengths at this track over 1400m, putting the race away quickly and beating Minano Haland. That was a clear lift on his previous fifth, when unwanted in the market and beaten over 17 lengths by Hiro Shige Wonder. He has won with Shingo Oyama aboard, but the first try around 1700m keeps him in the each-way bracket.

Comments

Was fourth on debut at this track over 1400m, but the margin tells the story as he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight by Baglanti. He also started at long odds in that small field, so the market gave little encouragement. Second-up improvement is possible, but the first attempt around 1700m leaves him with plenty to find on race evidence.

Comments

Returns from a five-week freshening after a disappointing fifth at this track over 1400m, beaten just over six lengths by Bhadra despite being near the top of betting. His debut win was much stronger, scoring by five lengths from Yakumo Flora after firming into very short odds-on territory. The 1700m is new, but a return to that first-up authority puts him in the minor-money picture.

Comments

Has been below his best at the past two over 1400m, finishing fourth behind Mami Yuga last start after having the drop on the leaders and then failing to finish off. His overall profile remains sound, with one win and one place from four starts at this track and a good record with Kenta Sugiura. The new 1700m asks a question, but the stable strength and track record keep him a serious chance.

Comments

Comes off the right last-start result, winning by a neck at this track over 1400m after digging in to beat Itoshino Fursa at generous odds. That was a decisive improvement on her seventh behind Bhadra, where she was at long odds and did not finish off. She has one win and one place from six starts at this venue, and with the winning rider staying aboard she sets the benchmark despite the new 1700m.

Comments

Placed on debut at this track over 820m, finishing second to Another Love after travelling well near the speed before being unable to improve late. That gives him a clean starting point, but it came in a five-runner field and the jump to around 1700m is a major new test. He can progress second-up, though the proven form of others is stronger.
