Back from a three-month break after finishing ninth in a 3yo COND over 1400m here, beaten just over seven lengths at big odds behind Ashaka Lucca. The run prior was also plain when ninth in a 3yo+ B3 over 1400m, beaten over 10 lengths after being swamped. She has won here, but recent form asks for a sizeable lift back to 800m.

Returns from a three-month break after a close second in a 3yo+ C1C2 here, beaten half a length by Vina Lao Cai as favourite after travelling well and being pipped late. She had been only fair to the line as a well-supported favourite the run prior, yet her one win and one place from three starts at this track and distance keep her firmly in the place mix.

Was seventh at Kawasaki last start, beaten four and a half lengths at big odds after settling just off the lead and holding her spot to the turn. Her better reference is the Urawa third behind Mozu River Chateau two back, when she worked home into the placings at long odds. That gives her some minor-money hope, but the winning record remains thin.

Second-up after a heavy first-up defeat at Funabashi, where she led in a 3yo+ C1C2 over 1000m before dropping out to finish last, beaten a long way. Her Urawa win from Lumineux Fille in April is the balancing point, and the track-and-distance record is sound. If she controls herself better early, a place rebound is realistic.

Finished tenth behind Black Empire at Kawasaki last start, beaten over 11 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. He had also been safely held behind Mozu River Chateau here two back, beaten just under seven lengths. Two wins at this track and distance are noted, but current form leaves him chasing improvement rather than a strong claim.

Returns from a two-month break in excellent form, having won a 3yo+ C2 here by a length and a half as an odds-on favourite after opening up late. That followed a three-length second to Mozu River Chateau, also as favourite, so the rematch is the obvious test. Her ten wins and four places from 20 starts at this track and distance make her a serious winning chance again.

Has been racing consistently, finishing third to Black Empire at Kawasaki last start when beaten just over three lengths after tracking the speed. She had been beaten only a neck by Atago Tenjin at the same venue before that, so the form is honest. With 51kg again and a prior win at the distance, she shapes as a credible place chance rather than the top pick.

Returns from a two-month break with the strongest recent Urawa win in the race, having beaten Black Empire by two and a half lengths in a 3yo+ C1C2 as a dominant short-priced favourite. She had earlier beaten Queen's Happy by three lengths in 3yo+ C2 grade, giving her direct form over key rivals. Two wins from two starts here makes her a major threat again.

Returns from a two-month break after being beaten out of sight over 1500m here, where he conceded a huge start and was never in the race. The start prior was no better, finishing second last and beaten over 11 lengths at long odds. Unplaced in four starts at this track and distance, he needs a major form reversal.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing last over 1400m here, beaten over 15 lengths when miles back and unable to make any impression. He had also been beaten nine lengths over 1500m the run prior at long odds. A previous Urawa win and strong overall record help only so much; this trip change must spark a much better effort.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing fourth at Ohi over 1200m, beaten six lengths when unwanted in the market and unable to finish it off. His previous Ohi second over 1000m in 3yo+ C1C2 grade was better, beaten just over a length after leading. First time at Urawa and back to 800m are genuine queries, but he has enough recent substance for a place case.

Arrives in winning form after scoring by a nose at Kawasaki, coming from well back to beat Sound Primo when near the top of an open market. Before that he was second to Mozu River Chateau at Urawa, beaten two and a half lengths in a 3yo+ C1C2. His two wins and four places from eight starts at this track and distance, plus a strong record with Yoichiro Muro, make him the one to beat despite the wide draw.
