Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth here, beaten eight and a half lengths by Grass Greed after settling handy. Her previous sixth behind White Magic was better than the market expected, beaten just under five lengths at big odds before being swamped late. With a win and three placings from six at the Ohi 1400m, she has the right profile to run into the minor money.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a plain first-up 12th in a 3yo COND over 1800m here, beaten over 12 lengths by Mild Evening when unwanted in the market. He was also beaten over 14 lengths at Funabashi before that. The drop back in trip and past track-and-distance win help only so much; he needs a marked turnaround.

Has offered little in two runs this campaign, finishing second last over 1200m here most recently, beaten over 12 lengths by Shonan Kachidoki at big odds. The run prior was no better, with a ninth behind Grass Greed when unwanted in the market and beaten over 14 lengths. Third-up fitness is a small plus, but the rise to 1400m looks a genuine query.

Lifted strongly third run into the campaign when second here last start, beaten a neck by Ichinichishocho after tracking the speed and lengthening nicely. That followed a fourth over 1600m where she did not finish it off, so coming back to 1400m looks more suitable. The distance win column is still blank, but this is the best recent form in the race.

Returns from a lengthy ten-month spell after a sound Kawasaki fourth in a 3yo+ COND over 1600m, beaten two and a half lengths by Fuino Majiwari after being near the top of betting. His prior Hanshin Dirt run over 1800m was poor, but he has a win and three placings from nine at this distance. The absence is the obvious question, though the exposed form fits.

Turned his form around last start, winning a 3yo+ C1 over 1650m here by a neck from Quads after finding enough late. That was a clear step up on his prior fifth behind Cosmo Traumer, when beaten eight lengths at big odds. The return to 1400m is the main query, but winning confidence and the rider link make him a proper chance.

Worked home fairly from well back when sixth over 1200m here last start, beaten just under five lengths by Shonan Kachidoki at big odds. That was a better effort than her previous last in a 3yo+ B2B3, where she faded late after being respected in an open market. The rise to 1400m remains a query, so she profiles more as a place hope than a winning play.

Put in a useful run at long odds here last start when fourth, beaten two and a half lengths by Ichinichishocho after having the drop on the leaders. He also finished fifth in a 3yo+ B2B3 over 1200m at Ohi two back. The concern is that he lost to Ville Me Kiss Me a couple of weeks ago and remains unplaced in six starts at this track.

Made some late ground from a hopeless position when seventh over 1200m here, beaten just over five lengths by Shonan Kachidoki, but she started at big odds and was never a winning factor. Her previous 12th behind Grass Greed was a heavy defeat. The return to 1400m is a positive on paper, yet current form gives little confidence.

Resumes after a three-month break with the strongest track-and-distance record in the field, having won once and placed seven times from ten attempts at the Ohi 1400m. He was third here last start, beaten just under two lengths by Rosso Nabua, after winning from Go Go Eagles the run prior. If he returns near that level, he is a serious winning chance.

Was second-up when seventh here last start, beaten just under eight lengths by Ichinichishocho after holding a narrow lead and being swamped late. His previous run was also well below standard, finishing second last behind Omasa. The Ohi 1400m record is strong, but recent efforts say he must lift substantially.

Finished sixth here last start at long odds, beaten just under six lengths by Ichinichishocho after settling rearward. Two back, he was beaten over 12 lengths behind Grass Greed when unwanted in the market. With no placings from twelve starts in the past 12 months, the recent evidence points strongly to others.

Was safely held here last start, finishing tenth and beaten over 14 lengths by Ichinichishocho after settling handy. The run before was also below par, beaten over 11 lengths by Grass Greed despite being near the top of an open market. Her two wins and one placing from five at the Ohi 1400m keep her in calculations for a minor cheque.

Showed more last start when fifth here, beaten six lengths by Perseids after making good ground from off the speed at big odds. That was an improvement on his prior tenth behind Grass Greed, where he was never in the picture. His overall record is strong, but he is unplaced this season and still needs the race to fall his way.
