Worked home soundly when fourth over 1200m at Ohi last start, beaten just under four lengths after being near the top of betting. The run prior was stronger, winning a 3yo COND over 1200m here by three lengths from Ride High as favourite. Races handy and has barrier one, but the rise to 1400m is the new test. With three wins from four starts, his profile still reads well.

Returns from an eight-month break after finishing fifth in a 2yo COND over 1200m at Ohi, beaten over 11 lengths by Dente Brillante despite being near the top of an open market. Two back he was second last and beaten over 16 lengths after dropping out sharply. The counter is that he has won at this distance and brings a sound overall record, so minor-money claims are possible if he returns in better order.

Returns from a five-month break after a plain tenth in a 4yo+ ALLOW over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt, beaten over 16 lengths when unwanted in the market. His previous ninth at Kyoto Dirt was also safely held, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The class drop and weight relief help at the edges, but he has been unplaced in five starts in the past 12 months and needs a sizeable turnaround.

Made a winning return at Ohi last start, scoring by a head from Believe And Run after being sent out an odds-on favourite. That followed a one-length win here over 1600m from Thalberg, and his course record is faultless with six wins from six starts at Ohi. Already a 1400m winner and again paired with a jockey who is six from six on him, he is the runner they all have to get past.

Returns from a four-month break after two plain 3yo+ B3 runs at Ohi, most recently ninth over 1600m and beaten nine and a half lengths by Cosmo Magallanica at long odds. The start prior was no better when 13th after offering little. He does come back to a more suitable 1400m and his past 12 months read well overall, but he needs to rediscover that earlier level to be more than a place prospect.

Kept battling when fourth in a small field at Ohi last start, but was still beaten eight and a half lengths by Lugalbanda and unwanted in the market. He had also been beaten just over nine lengths by Cosmo Traumer the run prior at big odds. A track-and-trip win and class drop give some context, yet recent form leaves him with a clear lifting task against sharper rivals.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth at Ohi, beaten just over seven lengths by Cosmo Traumer when an outside chance in betting. Her run prior was the better guide, closing off to be third here and beaten just under two lengths by Perseids. With 51kg and three wins plus two places from twelve starts at this track and distance, she has the right credentials if she reproduces that July effort.

Improved sharply third-up when second in a 3yo+ C1C2 at Ohi last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Drain The Swamp despite starting at long odds. That was a clear step forward from her previous 12th over 1200m, where she conceded too much ground and was never involved. She has placed twice from four starts at this track and distance, which points to a realistic place chance if the latest run holds.

Worked home evenly when fifth in a six-runner race at Ohi last start, but was beaten nine lengths by Lugalbanda and unwanted in betting. His previous sixth behind Cosmo Traumer offered a slightly better closing effort, though he was still beaten eight and a half lengths at long odds. With no wins from 21 starts at this track and distance, he needs more than honest late work to trouble these.

Settled rearward and weakened further when eighth over 1650m at Ohi last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Gonzago after being unwanted in the market. The start prior was similar, finishing last over 1200m and beaten over 16 lengths by God Burg. His long career includes five wins, but recent efforts and a poor track-and-distance record make this a difficult assignment.
