Comments

Was never a factor when tenth in a C3 at this track last start, beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward and failing to make ground. The start prior was another plain effort, finishing second last and beaten over 11 lengths. She has one win and one place from 16 attempts at this track and distance, but recent form leaves her with plenty to turn around.

Comments

Finished a distant last in C2 company at this track last start after giving away a big start and never entering the contest. That followed another last placing when beaten over 19 lengths, again at big odds. The drop to C3 is some relief, but she has not raced at around 820m and remains unplaced from seven starts, so the form task is considerable.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Has been contesting C2 races and now gets a more suitable C3 assignment after finishing sixth at this track, beaten just over eight lengths. She was also fifth two back behind Asaka Love Love, so the recent form has some substance for this grade. The 52kg impost helps, and she beat Promettre in their recent meeting, giving her the right profile to justify top billing.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Comments

Has been well beaten at both recent runs, finishing last in a C3 over 1400m at this track after settling rearward, then having been beaten over 11 lengths the start prior. He is still unplaced from 19 starts overall and from 13 runs at this track. With no clear excuse in those latest efforts, he has to find a sizeable lift.

Comments

Dropped out to finish last at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. Her previous fifth was sounder, beaten just under six lengths, and she does have one win and one place from seven runs at this track and distance. Weight relief is a plus, but the latest run makes her a cautious proposition.

Comments

Comes back from C2 grade after finishing second last and well held at this track, giving further ground in a weak run to the line. The run prior was also plain, but she is better suited around 820m, where she has placed three times from four attempts. The class drop and light weight bring her back into calculations as a place hope if she can sharpen up.

Comments

Recent C2 form has been below her best, with a tenth last start and a seventh two back behind Asaka Love Love, both at this track. The key change is the return to a C3 where her track-and-trip record reads well: one win and five places from 15 starts. With weight relief and a winning rider back aboard, she has enough positives to rebound strongly.

Comments

Worked home fairly when sixth at this track last start, beaten just under nine lengths after settling well back and having too much to do. That was a better effort than her previous last placing, and her four wins at this track and distance are a genuine asset in this field. She is not flying, but the proven 820m record keeps her in the placing mix.

Comments

Returns from a five-month break after ending last preparation with a seventh at this track, beaten just under four lengths behind Scarlet Honey after leading and working home evenly. She had earlier been fourth, beaten just under six lengths, and her one win and four places from 18 starts at this track and distance give her some base. Fresh, she shapes as an each-way chance rather than a firm win push.

Comments

Lifted last start when second to El Mirage in a C3 at this track, beaten five lengths after tracking the speed and holding her ground. Her previous tenth was better than it reads, only beaten three and a half lengths despite being unwanted in the market. With two wins and eight places from 27 starts at this track and distance, plus a long positive record with Kanta Inoue, she rates highly.

820m - 1870m

Comments

Was never competitive and beaten out of sight in a COND last start, having also been beaten over 15 lengths in C2 company the run before. Those figures are hard to overlook, but he returns to a much more suitable 820m setup where he has two wins and five places from 17 starts at this track and distance. That record gives him minor claims if the latest run can be left behind.

Comments

Failed to come into the race when ninth in C2 company at this track last start, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds. His previous sixth was more competitive, beaten three and a half lengths, and the return to 820m is supported by one win and three places from seven starts at this track and distance. He is a place hope on setup, but must improve on the latest run.
