Returns from a four-month break after closing hard to beat Missione by half a length in a 3yo+ COND at Urawa, having also won a 3yo+ B3 here by a head at the start prior. The record is very sound, with nine wins from 19 starts and three wins plus a place from four tries at this track and distance. Freshness is the main balancing point, but the established Urawa profile keeps him a genuine placing chance.

Made it two wins from two this campaign when beating Fiamma Fulmine by eight lengths in a 3yo+ B2 over 1600m at Kawasaki, and that followed a one-length Urawa win over Harmony Roi. He is third-up, well suited back to 1400m and has three wins from six starts at this track. With Tsubasa Sasagawa aboard again, the only task is converting that dominant recent form against a deeper B1B2 field.

Has not offered enough in two runs this campaign, finishing second last behind Ravomi over 900m at Kawasaki after settling well back and making no impression. The run prior was similar, beaten just over nine lengths by Hahndorf after weakening late. He is third-up and gets up in trip, but with four unplaced runs in the past 12 months, a much sharper finish is required.

Finished last behind Muscle in a 3yo+ B2 over 1600m at Kawasaki, well held after settling rearward, and that came after another last at Funabashi when beaten over 17 lengths. The return to a proven track-and-trip setup is some help, but he has been unplaced in nine starts over the past 12 months and his recent efforts give little confidence.

Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing seventh to Yagiri Dream over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten just under eight lengths after travelling close enough but finding little. The start prior was only fair when sixth to Moira. He has placed four times this season and the class drop helps, yet the rise to 1400m is a genuine query after two unplaced runs at the distance.

Was tailed off behind Creme D'Or over 2100m at Kawasaki last start, a run that is hard to dress up given he was unwanted in the market. His previous fourth to Kramskoi over 2000m had more merit after looming and holding on reasonably. Back to 1400m is a more suitable test on his record, with a win and a placing from two tries at the distance, so he can improve into the minor money.

Settled rearward and made no impression when seventh to Hiraboku Laugh It over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds. He had also been safely held by Inadahime in a 3yo+ B1 at Urawa the run prior. One win and four places from nine attempts at this track and distance gives him some grounding, but the current form line says he must lift considerably.

Returns from a two-month let-up after working into the race nicely for second to Orwell at Urawa, beaten a length and a half as an outside chance in betting. That followed a 3yo+ B3 win here over David Tesoro by the same margin, so her local form is holding together. She stays on 52kg and has a win and a placing from three track-and-distance runs, giving her a strong platform despite the small distance query.

Returns from a four-month break after being beaten over 15 lengths by Cosmo Gigantea over 1800m at Ohi, where he led into the straight before weakening badly. He was also last at Funabashi two back, despite being near the top of an open market. Two wins and a place from three Urawa 1400m starts are positives, but he has to rediscover that earlier form before he appeals strongly.

Returns from a three-month break after finishing eighth to Citrus Flavor at Urawa, beaten just over seven lengths and unwanted in the market. Her previous run was weaker again when last behind Major Quality over 2000m. She does get weight relief and has won here before, but being unplaced in all eleven starts over the past 12 months leaves her with plenty to prove.

Returns from a one-month let-up after almost pinching a 3yo+ B2 over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten a nose by Yagiri Dream at long odds after finishing strongly. The Kawasaki run prior was only seventh over 1600m, but the return to 1400m is backed by three wins from five starts at the distance. First look at Urawa is the unknown, though the latest effort gives him a serious claim.

Returns from a two-month freshening after running third to Muscle at Urawa, beaten two and a half lengths in a 3yo+ B2B3 and working home evenly. He had earlier picked up nicely when sixth behind Citrus Flavor, though the margin was six and a half lengths. His recent 12-month record is solid and he has won at both the track and trip, but he does need to bridge the gap on Muscle.

Led and battled on evenly when fourth to Muscle in a 3yo+ B2 over 1600m at Kawasaki, beaten nine and a half lengths despite being near the top of an open market. The run before was much stronger, a 3yo+ B3 win at Urawa by a length and a half over Grace Carillon. Six wins from eleven starts at this track and distance command respect, making her a realistic place hope if she rebounds.

Was beaten over 11 lengths by Muscle in a 3yo+ B2 at Kawasaki after failing to finish it off, which dulled the promise of his earlier sixth at Urawa when he picked up nicely late. He does have two wins and four places from 14 starts at this track and distance, and the rider-horse record is serviceable, but the latest margin leaves him needing improvement rather than merely a suitable setup.
