Comments

Has an excellent record at this track and distance, with four wins and five placings from 15 attempts, so the conditions themselves are no concern. The issue is recent form: sixth behind Eifer Idol last start after failing to finish it off, and second last behind Sunrise Nazca the run prior when beaten over 15 lengths. His best figures give him some foundation, but he has to lift sharply on the latest evidence.

Expected Settling Position: Leader

820m - 1400m

Comments

Comes back to a trip where he has won and placed, which is important after two 820m runs that produced a third and then a seventh. He was beaten just over four lengths by Smash Hit last start at long odds, while the previous run behind Soshiji was honest enough from behind the leaders. Weight relief helps and barrier 2 gives him the chance to use his early speed, though he profiles more as a solid place hope than a standout winner.

Comments

Was safely held when seventh behind Sunrise Nazca last start, beaten just over five lengths, and that same race also leaves him with a line through Grenselos. His start prior was much stronger, running second to Flash Kelly after knuckling down late, and his four placings from four attempts at this track and distance underline his reliability around the trip. He is easier to like for a minor cheque than as the winner.

Comments

Worked home evenly from the rear when third over 820m last start, beaten just under four lengths by Vent Saisonnier. He had won a C2 at this venue the run prior, edging Allenatore at generous odds, and his track-and-distance record is sound enough with three wins and five placings from 19 starts. The consistency is respected, but he still has to turn honest recent efforts into a stronger C1 finish.

Comments

Failed to quicken when sixth behind Alum Bay last start, beaten five and a half lengths after being sent out at generous odds. The run prior keeps him in the conversation, as he let down well to beat Akkeshi by just under two lengths at this track as a long-priced winner. Shingo Oyama knows him well and has won on him before, but he must reproduce that peak rather than the flatter latest effort.

Comments

Led throughout in effect when winning a C2 at this track by two and a half lengths over Ala Moana, holding a clear margin in a dominant display. That was a major turnaround from Sapporo Dirt, where he was well beaten by 25 lengths in a Mdn, so the task is proving the latest run is the true level. The stable has strong track credentials and weight relief is in his favour, making him a live place chance if he repeats the last-start performance.

Caught the eye late when fourth behind Alum Bay last start, making up a lot of ground after being unwanted at long odds. That was a better effort than her previous seventh behind Isla Azul, where she was beaten over 11 lengths and settled rearward. She is proven at this track and distance and has won with Yamamotoya Taizo, but the overall profile still asks for more sustained form against stronger chances.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Comments

Ran a sound fourth behind Sunrise Nazca last start, beaten just over two lengths in C1 company after being near the top of betting. That followed a decisive C2 win at this track, where she strode away from Bradshaw by four lengths, and she has already had Shana O covered recently. The 1230m record is not dominant, with one placing from four tries, but the form line and stable profile make her a major winning chance.

Comments

Finished strongly to win a C2 at this track by two and a half lengths last start, beating Ridere after starting near the top of betting. She had shown that was coming when third behind Gateau the run prior, leading and only being run down late despite being unwanted in the market. The 1230m is new, but two starts at this venue have produced a win and a placing, and her current trajectory gives her the strongest winning case.

Returns from a four-month break after ending last campaign with a seventh behind As You Like, beaten seven lengths as favourite in B2 grade. His start prior was much better, winning a COND at this track by a neck over L'Immensite, and the broader record is excellent with five wins and one placing from eight starts. He is untried around 1230m, but his class edge and strong track record keep him right in the winning discussion fresh.

Returns from a four-month break after closing last campaign with a second to A Shin Regards, beaten just under two lengths at long odds. Before that she was a beaten favourite behind Fangxin Lady after failing to finish it off, so the form has some uneven edges. Her three wins and four placings from ten starts at this track and distance are a genuine positive, but she still has to return in sharp order to trouble the better-rated runners.

Comments

Was a long way off them behind Alum Bay last start, finishing eighth and beaten over 13 lengths after settling miles back and making no impression. His start prior was more competitive, running third behind Eifer Idol at big odds, and he has two wins and three placings from eight starts at this distance. That gives him some suitability, but the latest margin makes him hard to support with confidence.
