Worked into fourth at Ohi last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Revuelto Dio after settling rearward, but he was unwanted in the market and remains hard to trust. The run prior over 1400m was plain when sixth, beaten eight and a half lengths by Gerbera Flavor. Still a maiden after 14 starts and unplaced in six goes here, so improvement is required.

Returns from a five-week freshening after a strong Ohi win, making up plenty of ground to beat Field Appeal by two and a half lengths as a short odds-on favourite. That followed a solid second to Eleanor Queen, and she has now won or placed in both starts here. Third-up, proven at the track and distance, and with Takayuki Yano back aboard, she has the right profile to take plenty of beating.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing sixth over 1600m at Ohi, beaten over 12 lengths by Bernard Handsome at big odds. Two back he was second last behind Talking The God, again beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward. The class drop offers some context, but he is unplaced in five starts at this track and distance and needs a major lift.

Produced a strong return at Ohi three weeks ago, coming from a seemingly hopeless position to beat Namura Solan by a neck in a 16-runner field. The earlier Hanshin Dirt run in a 3yo Maiden was well below that level, but she has now won at this track and trip and keeps Masashige Honda after a first-up success. If she repeats that finish, she is clearly one of the major players.

Went within a neck of Wide Potiron at Ohi last start, carrying 51kg and only being caught on the line. The concern is that her previous run behind Girlish was much less convincing, finishing fifth and beaten eight lengths after having too much to do. She remains a maiden from 12 starts, but the light weight and latest performance keep her in the minor-money conversation.

Returns from a four-month break after a distant last at Ohi in June, where she faded badly behind Barba Lion. Her previous run is the one that keeps her in calculations, having been sent out favourite and beaten just under two lengths by Riko Talos after being run down late. With one win and one place from four starts, she can rebound, but the latest failure is difficult to ignore.

Has been safely held in two runs this campaign, most recently second last at Ohi when beaten over 11 lengths by Revuelto Dio at long odds. The start prior was no better, finishing 12th and beaten over 12 lengths by Magic Elegance. His track-and-distance record contains a win, but current form leaves him with too much to turn around.

Closed from a difficult position to run third at Ohi last start, beaten just over two lengths by Riko Blue Eye when an outside chance in the betting. She had also picked up ground when fourth behind Girlish three weeks earlier, albeit beaten six and a half lengths at long odds. The finishing pattern is encouraging, but she still has to bridge the gap to the sharper winning hopes.

Conceded a big start and was never in the race when eighth at Ohi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Revuelto Dio after being unwanted in the market. Two back she finished 13th behind Magic Elegance, beaten over 12 lengths. She has placed three times at this track and distance, but the recent form is too plain to recommend strongly.

Returns from a four-month break after running third at Ohi, beaten five and a half lengths by Love Me Monroe at big odds. The run prior was sound enough when fifth, beaten three and a half lengths by June Academy after being run down late. He has won at this track and distance, but the wide barrier and overall record suggest he needs to return improved.

Settled well back and never looked likely when seventh at Ohi last start, beaten nine and a half lengths by Revuelto Dio at long odds. The previous 1400m run was weaker again, finishing 11th and beaten over 15 lengths by Gerbera Flavor. She has a track-and-distance win on the record, but recent efforts make her hard to support with confidence.

Continued a consistent run of form when second at Ohi last start, beaten half a length by Riko Blue Eye after working home evenly at generous odds. That backed up a third to Afrotchi, beaten two lengths, and his record shows five placings from 15 starts at this track and distance. The maiden tag is the knock, but he is reliable enough for exotics.

Drops back from 1400m after finishing fourth at Ohi, beaten just under six lengths by Canterbury Time when well found in the market. Her previous run was stronger, second to Girlish and beaten two and a half lengths after being run down late. The return to 1200m suits, and her recent 12-month record is solid, but she needs to turn the tables on Girlish.

Returns from a six-month break with a strong three-start profile, including a three-length Ohi win over Lip Skip two runs back after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. He was then fourth to Fine Blade, beaten two and a half lengths, and still picked up nicely late. The wide draw and absence are queries, but his track-and-distance form is good enough.
