820m - 1230m

Comments

Returned to sharper form when third in a C1 at this track last start, beaten three lengths by Smash Hit after starting at long odds. Her previous fifth over 1230m was also sound enough, and she brings proven 820m credentials with two wins and three placings from nine attempts around the trip. Barrier 1 and the weight relief are useful positives, making her one of the key winning chances.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Went close when second to Smash Hit in a C1 at this track last start, beaten just over a length at generous odds. That backed up a solid fourth here when beaten a length and a half, so his recent form is reliable. The win strike-rate remains the reservation, including no wins from ten at this track and distance, but he is racing well enough to press for another placing.

Comments

Kept building when winning a C2 at this track last start, beating Tamamo Carol by just under a length as the odds-on favourite. He had also been runner-up over 1230m when sent out favourite, so the consistency is hard to fault. With two wins and two placings from five starts at this track and distance, he has the right profile to be competitive again.

Comments

Has been soundly beaten at his past two C1 runs, finishing second last behind Smash Hit by over 13 lengths after coming off a last behind Fairy Taizan. The market wanted little to do with him on both occasions, and he is unplaced in four starts at this track and distance. His older career form is not enough to offset the current downturn.

Comments

Was not beaten far when fifth to Fairy Taizan in a C1 at this track last start, finishing just under two lengths away. The start prior she was second here at generous odds, though the winner had her measure by four lengths. Her track-and-distance record and Kanta Inoue's record aboard are positives, but she will have to lift again to trouble the main hopes.

Comments

Was disappointing as favourite over 1230m last start, finishing fifth and beaten over 10 lengths after being close enough to threaten. Her previous fourth was fair without being decisive, and she now comes to around 820m for the first time. The Toyokazu Tano record aboard is a plus, but this looks a chance only if the shorter trip brings sharp improvement.

Comments

Was below market expectation when fifth behind Smash Hit last start, beaten three and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. The stronger reference is her C1 win at this track the run prior, when she beat Vent Saisonnier by just under a length. With three wins from seven overall and two from four at this track and distance, she has the record to rebound strongly.

Comments

Improved slightly when sixth behind Smash Hit last start, beaten just under four lengths, though she was unwanted in the market. The run before that was plain, fading late into seventh behind Soshiji after sitting close enough. Her four wins and three placings from 16 starts at this track and distance give her a base, but recent form points more to a place hope than a winning play.

Comes in chasing four straight wins after dominating a C2 at this track last start, beating Shark Ryusei by three and a half lengths with clear authority. She had also beaten Komori Boulder by two and a half lengths the start prior as favourite. Six wins and one placing from twelve starts at this track and distance underline the strength of her case, and she is the runner they all have to beat.

Was sound when fourth to Smash Hit last start, beaten just over three lengths at long odds, though it was not quite as sharp as her nose second behind Fairy Taizan the run before. The pairing with F Komaki is a clear asset, with two wins and two placings from four rides, and the stable has strong track credentials. She remains a genuine placing chance with the right run.

Comments

Recent form is hard to support, with a last placing behind Smash Hit at this track last start after being beaten over 13 lengths. The Funabashi run prior was weaker again, finishing second last and beaten over 19 lengths behind Retro Boom. Her broader 820m record is strong, but the current figures leave her with a significant turnaround to find.

Finished ninth behind Smash Hit at this track last start, beaten seven and a half lengths after starting at big odds. His previous sixth behind Fairy Taizan was better on margin, but he was still unwanted in the market and has not won in nine attempts at this track and distance. A minor placing would require a cleaner, sharper performance than he has shown lately.

Expected Settling Position: Off Midfield
