Returns from five weeks off after a sound second in a 3yo+ COND over 2400m at Ohi, beaten just under two lengths by Gluhwurm after leading and being caught late. He had been dominant in 3yo+ B2 grade before that, beating Three Legend by three and a half lengths as odds-on favourite. With five wins and two places from eight Ohi starts, the return to 2000m gives him a strong platform.

Worked home fairly when sixth over 1400m at Ohi last start, beaten just over two lengths at big odds behind Little Bighorn. His previous fifth in 3yo+ B1 company over 1200m was more distant, beaten just over six lengths by Sakki Mitsugu. The rise to 2000m is the clear concern, but eight wins and 19 places at Ohi keep him a credible place hope.

Returns from five weeks off after resuming with a second over 1800m at Ohi, beaten three and a half lengths by Bless Word at generous odds. He had won here before the break, scoring by two lengths from Il Vento when near the top of betting. The second-up angle is positive enough, but his Ohi 2000m record is modest and he must lift again to trouble the stronger chances.

Was safely held in a small-field 3yo+ B2 over 2400m at Ohi last start, finishing fourth and beaten eight lengths by Nampasen after being run down late. The run prior reads better, as she won a 3yo+ B3 here by just under a length from Nampasen when near the top of betting. Back to 2000m, with a prior Ohi track-and-distance win, she is a solid minor-money contender.

Returns from five weeks off following a plain sixth over 1800m at Ohi, beaten over 14 lengths by Bless Word after being unwanted in the market. His earlier fourth in 3yo+ B1 grade behind Shadow Lupin was much better, beaten a length and a half after looming into it. Even so, no wins from nine Ohi 2000m starts leaves him needing a clear turnaround.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fourth in a 3yo+ B3 over 1800m at Ohi, beaten just under four lengths by First Mate at long odds. That was an improvement on his previous fifth over 1400m, where he was beaten over 10 lengths by Grass Greed. He tends to need time to build, but the first attempt at 2000m makes this a demanding assignment.

Returns from five weeks off in consistent form, having finished second in a small-field 3yo+ B2 at Ohi, beaten two lengths by Parmigianino after being run down late. Her prior third in 3yo+ B1 grade was strong, beaten only a long neck by Shadow Lupin at big odds. She has placed in both 2000m attempts, but still needs to convert that reliability into a winning edge.

Returns from a two-month break after missing by a nose in 3yo+ B1 company at Ohi, finishing strongly behind Shadow Lupin after being sent out favourite. The run prior in 3yo+ A2 grade was only fair, beaten five and a half lengths by Idea Igosso when unwanted in the market. His nine wins from 26 starts and solid Ohi 2000m record make him a major threat if ready fresh.

Finished last in a small-field 3yo+ B2 over 2400m at Ohi first-up, beaten a long way by Nampasen after giving away too much ground in the straight. His previous run was also below expectations, 11th over 1800m and beaten just over seven lengths as a well-supported favourite behind Meiner Bomber. The back-up in trip helps on paper, but recent form is hard to trust.
