Comments

Kept on from well back when sixth over 1000m at this track last start, beaten five and a half lengths by Demon Slayer at long odds. The start prior was similar, finishing eighth behind Win Tolkien after giving away too much start but closing respectably. Four wins and four places from 20 starts at this track and distance keep him in the place mix, though he must sharpen up to win.

Comments

Has been plain at the past two, finishing ninth behind Queen's Merengue last start after failing to quicken and ninth again behind Win Tolkien the run prior. Her wider record is better than that, with five wins and twelve places from 27 starts at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Ryoga Fujita. Recent form still leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Worked home evenly for third behind Queen's Monaka in a B4 at this track last start, beaten just over two lengths at generous odds. That was a stronger effort after a fifth behind Blue Cosmos, where he also made ground without threatening. His five wins and ten places from 32 starts at this track and distance give him a solid platform, and he appeals as a genuine winning chance.

Finished hard from a seemingly hopeless position to grab third behind Queen's Merengue last start, beaten just over two lengths and respected near the top of betting. He had also been solid when fourth behind Win Tolkien two back. Seven wins and six places from 22 starts at this track and distance, plus a strong Yamato Ishikawa record, make him a major threat.

Comments

Finished tenth behind Queen's Merengue last start, beaten eight and a half lengths at big odds after giving away too much start in the straight. He was also second last behind Win Tolkien before that and unwanted in the market. Weight relief is a plus and he has placed at this track and distance, but recent evidence points more to a minor-money hope than a win threat.

Finished last behind Queen's Merengue last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after racing prominently and coming under pressure late. The start prior was weaker again, last behind Win Tolkien and beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in the market. He is unplaced in all six starts at this track and distance, so a sharp form lift is required.

Comments

Has been beaten a long way in both recent runs over 1000m at this track, finishing last behind Demon Slayer by over 17 lengths and last behind Nishiken Cabal by over 15 lengths before that. He has placed three times from 15 starts around 1200m, but is unplaced in seven runs at this venue. Current form makes him difficult to recommend.

Went close as the well-supported favourite last start, finishing strongly for second behind Win Tolkien and beaten a neck at this track. He had led and worked home evenly when fourth in a B4 the run prior, again as favourite. The overall record is excellent, with five wins and seven places from 16 starts, and his track-and-distance profile keeps him firmly among the chances.

Comments

Resumed with a second-last finish behind Demon Slayer over 1000m at this track, beaten over 10 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. Her previous run was before a break at Mizusawa, where she finished fifth in a B2. She has won three times around 1200m, but the first-up run was too plain to give her strong claims here.

Dropped out to finish ninth behind Queen's Monaka in a B4 at this track last start, beaten just over seven lengths. His previous fifth behind Clever Ben had more merit, though he tired after holding a commanding lead. A win at this track and distance and a proven Fuma Ono partnership keep him in the place conversation, but the latest effort has to be forgiven carefully.

Kept to the task when fifth behind Queen's Merengue last start, beaten four and a half lengths as an outside chance in the betting. He was also fifth behind Win Tolkien two back, beaten three and a half lengths after being near the top of an open market. The broader record is solid and he has won at this track, though his 1200m record is the clear query.

Worked home fairly without ever looking a winning chance when seventh behind Queen's Merengue last start, beaten just over six lengths at long odds. That mirrored his previous seventh behind Fine Kic, where he was again safely held. He has won at this track and distance in the past, but being unplaced in all nine starts over the past 12 months is a serious concern.

Comes in off three straight wins and was authoritative at this track last start, beating Lightning Jab by two lengths in a B4 after being sent out odds-on. She had charged home to beat Cilantro over 1000m the start prior, confirming her current form. Three wins and eight places from 13 starts at this track and distance, plus Genta Ochiai's record aboard her, make her the one to beat.

Comments

Was safely held over 1700m at this track last start, finishing eighth behind Scarborough Fair and beaten nine and a half lengths at generous odds. The run prior was weaker again, tenth behind Eiichi and beaten over 19 lengths despite being near the top of betting. Ryu Abe has a useful record on her, but she has to produce a much stronger finish to threaten.

Expected Settling Position: Leader
