Returns from a two-month freshening after a much sharper second at Urawa, where she loomed and fought on to be beaten two and a half lengths by Nikoniko Nicole at long odds. That was a clear turnaround from her previous last, beaten over 17 lengths behind Okashi Daisuki Man. The 1400m remains a genuine query, but the latest form gives her a strong winning platform.

Resumes after a four-month break since a plain Urawa debut, when sixth behind Forever Aiya and beaten over 11 lengths as a short odds-on favourite. She had plenty to make up and was only fair late, so there was no strong excuse in the run. Lightly raced and drawn to get every chance, but she needs to justify that earlier market confidence.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Niigata Dirt, beaten just over nine lengths when unwanted in the market. She was also ninth at Kawasaki two back after settling rearward and making no late impact. The class drop helps, and she has placed with Genki Fujimoto, but the rise to 1400m needs to spark a better finish.

Returns from a lengthy eight-month spell after finishing eighth at Urawa, beaten over 12 lengths behind Itoitation at big odds. Her previous fifth behind Terrentius was also soundly beaten, and she is unplaced from five starts overall, including four at this track and distance. The fresh start helps only so much; she has a fair bit to find.

Returns from a two-month let-up after a disappointing last at Urawa, beaten over 15 lengths by Nikoniko Nicole despite being near the top of betting. She had settled just off the lead and there was no obvious excuse. The prior fourth behind Okashi Daisuki Man was better, but eight starts without a placing tells the story. Needs a sizeable turnaround.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth in a 3yo+ COND at Nagoya, beaten six and a half lengths behind Nanyo Request when unwanted in the market. His previous tenth behind Fortia was plain, but he has placed five times from 19 starts and twice from four runs at this distance. With class relief, he can rebound into a serious role.

Returns from a two-month freshening off a Urawa third behind Nikoniko Nicole, beaten five and a half lengths after having plenty to do and still finishing into the money as favourite. Her earlier fifth behind G T Pudding was also sound enough, and she has placed twice from three starts at this track. The beaten-favourite tag is the knock, but her profile still reads strongest.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last in a 3yo Maiden over 1200m at Chukyo, never competitive and beaten out of sight behind Ber Secreto. The Kokura run prior was better, beaten six and a half lengths after giving away a huge start, but he is still unplaced from five starts. Class relief gives him a place path, though the 1400m rise must suit.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth at Urawa, beaten seven and a half lengths by Nikoniko Nicole despite picking up in the straight. Two back she was third at long odds behind Okashi Daisuki Man by the same margin, so there is some honest late work. The concern is a 15-start maiden record and no placing from five at this track and distance.

Resumes after a three-month break following an eighth at Urawa, beaten over 13 lengths behind Egal at big odds after giving away too much ground. His previous sixth behind Pants Only was also well held after failing to quicken. A leading local stable is a positive backdrop, but his three-start record offers little recent substance.

Makes her debut with 52kg and limited exposed evidence to assess against race-hardened rivals. Maki Hirayama has had one winner from four debut starters in the supplied figures, which is a small positive, and half-sibling Midnight Honey has raced. Even so, the absence of race form makes this a cautious starting point rather than a confident betting profile.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fourth at Urawa, beaten six and a half lengths behind Nikoniko Nicole when she failed to finish it off. The run prior over 800m had some merit at huge odds, holding a position before picking up late. She was behind Eclair Seira and Vina Nam Dinh last time, so minor money looks the realistic target.

Improved at Funabashi last start when fourth over 1200m, beaten five lengths behind End Stage after working home evenly and starting near the top of an open market. Her Urawa run prior was much weaker, finishing last behind Rebat and beaten over 16 lengths. Barrier one should let her race handy, but the rise to 1500m has to be answered before she takes full control of this.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth to Ichigo Whip at Urawa, beaten nine and a half lengths in a small field at big odds. Her previous run was also plain, finishing second last behind Kobinai Fountain after settling rearward and making no impression. Unplaced in 20 attempts at this track and distance, she needs a turnaround to hold a minor spot.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a sound Urawa second behind Mundi, beaten two lengths at generous odds. He had also run second here in 3yo Cond grade before the break, though he only battled home after getting into a good enough position. Still a maiden, but three placings from four starts at this track give him a solid base and he should take proper catching if he repeats that latest run.

Returns from a two-month freshening following a decisive Urawa win, scoring by three lengths from Mauritius Aroma as favourite at this track and distance. That was a clear lift on her fifth behind Kobinai Fountain, when she was beaten just under five lengths after being run down late. Proven three times over this course and distance, she brings the most reliable winning form into the race.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing 11th at Funabashi, beaten over 11 lengths behind Final Wonder, and the market gave little encouragement. Two back she was last over 2000m at Urawa in 3yo+ C2C3 grade, beaten over 16 lengths after weakening badly. The class drop is some help, but the recent evidence says she must find a much sharper finish.

Has been safely held in two recent Kawasaki 900m runs, finishing ninth behind Kanasando and then tenth behind Hanasaki Poplar, both times at long odds after settling rearward and failing to make ground. She does have past winning form at this track and distance, but current-season results are plain and she needs to show far more at 1500m to trouble the main chances.

Returns from a six-month break after a poor ninth in 3yo+ C2 grade at Funabashi, beaten over 15 lengths behind Dacitapit after being in touch but offering little. His prior Urawa run was also well below his best when ninth to Arabian Rain, beaten over 13 lengths despite market respect. The class drop and past Urawa success keep him in the place mix, but fitness under race pressure is the test.

Returns after one month since an eighth at Funabashi, beaten over 11 lengths by Proud Park after getting well back and making no impact. She had been fair to the line when fourth behind Ichigo Whip at Urawa, but that was still an eight-and-a-half-length defeat. Three wins at this track and distance are noted, yet her current form leaves her needing a genuine rebound.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing tenth at Funabashi, beaten over 10 lengths by Final Wonder when unwanted in the market and unable to get involved. He had also been well beaten over 1800m there behind Bonifacio after conceding a huge start. Unplaced in 14 starts over the past 12 months and eight at this track and distance, he looks hard to recommend.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing last to Ichigo Whip at Urawa, beaten nine and a half lengths in a six-runner field at big odds. The previous run was no better, with ninth behind Kobinai Fountain after fading out when close enough to do more. He has placed five times at this track and distance without winning, so a minor-money case is stronger than a winning one.

Was sixth at Funabashi last start, beaten over 12 lengths by B B Radon, and the market was firmly against her. She did keep working when fourth behind Rebat at Urawa the run prior, a performance that put her ahead of Eminent Career, but she remains winless from six attempts at this distance. There is some fight in her recent form, though she needs more than that to upset this field.

Needs to rebound from a disappointing Funabashi run when second last behind B B Radon, beaten over 17 lengths despite being near the top of an open market. The run prior was much better, winning there by a neck from Kobinai Fountain as favourite with a determined finish. Four wins and seven places from 20 starts in the past 12 months give her claims, but trust is the issue after that latest failure.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last behind Ravi's Dream at Urawa, beaten over 17 lengths at big odds after settling rearward. The run prior was also plain, ninth to Santa Ana Wind and beaten over 11 lengths when unwanted in the market. A past track-and-distance win is some context, but recent form leaves her with plenty to find.

Returns from a two-month let-up in strong form, having won by three lengths at Urawa before running second to Ravi's Dream, beaten two lengths as a well-supported favourite. She can roll forward from barrier 2, and her record reads seven wins from 16 starts, including three wins at this track. The last-start defeat is a reference point, but she is clearly one of the main chances.

Returns from a four-month break after a better effort in 3yo+ C1 grade at Urawa, working home for third behind Alegria City and beaten three lengths at big odds. That was a sharp lift on her Funabashi seventh, where she was beaten over 12 lengths. The class drop helps, but no wins from 20 attempts at this track and distance keeps the assessment guarded.

Returns from a four-month break with genuine form behind her, having won by three lengths at Urawa before being beaten half a length by Azukichan. That earlier win came at generous odds and included Tokai Diamant behind her, so the form has substance. She has a strong overall record and a good association with Tsubasa Sasagawa, though the distance record stops short of making her a clear top pick.

Returns from a two-month let-up after disappointing as favourite at Urawa, finishing sixth to Charina and beaten nine and a half lengths with no clear excuse. Her previous second to Swertia, beaten just under a length, was much better and ties her into this race. One win and two placings from six at the track and distance give her a sound place profile if she rebounds.

Returns from a two-month let-up after a decisive Urawa win, finishing powerfully to beat Tokai Diamant by two lengths when near the top of betting. Her previous fifth behind Dancing Rascal was also sound, beaten just over two lengths after picking up well. Two wins from seven at this track and distance suit the assignment, and she brings the clearest last-start form into this.

Returns from a two-month break needing to arrest a slide, with her latest eighth at Urawa beaten over 10 lengths in 3yo+ C2C3 grade after failing to quicken. The Kawasaki run prior was worse, last and beaten over 15 lengths when unwanted in the market. Two wins at this track and distance are the saving grace, but she must rediscover that level quickly.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last behind Fernanda at Urawa, beaten over 18 lengths at big odds after settling well back and failing to improve. The start prior over 800m was no better, beaten over 13 lengths behind Mozu River Chateau. Third-up fitness is a small plus, but the recent evidence points firmly against her.

Returns from a two-month freshening with solid Urawa form, finishing fourth to Ravi's Dream last start after settling back, then third to Santa Ana Wind when beaten just over two lengths. She has placed eight times from 23 starts at this track and distance without winning, which defines the case neatly. Honest enough to be involved, but needs a stronger winning punch.

Comes back on a three-week turnaround after a Kawasaki third behind Siena Best, beaten six lengths when working home evenly. The previous Kawasaki sixth was similar, with no real headway from back in the field. Four wins at the distance and two wins from five at Urawa are positives, but her recent margins suggest she needs more than a return here to threaten the main chances.

Returns from a six-month spell after finishing fourth at Funabashi over 1200m, beaten just over four lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite despite making ground. Her previous start was a dominant four-length win over Pod Buddy. The rise to 1400m is the query, but two wins and two placings from eight starts give her enough quality to be a first-up place hope.

Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing second last at Kawasaki, beaten over 10 lengths at big odds and never coming into the race. Her prior Urawa ninth behind Ravi's Dream was even further away, beaten over 15 lengths. With no placing from 13 starts this season, she needs a significant form reversal before she can be seriously entertained.

Returns from a four-month break after a fair Urawa fourth over 800m, beaten just over five lengths by Lord Summit after trying hard from close enough. The run before was a distant sixth to G T Swat, beaten over 13 lengths when unwanted in betting. The rise in trip may help, but she is unplaced in three at this track and distance and must improve sharply.

Returns from a two-month freshening after a fair fifth to Fernanda at Urawa, beaten six and a half lengths after sitting handy and battling only evenly. Her previous run was stronger, picking up sharply to beat Oden Rickey by just under a length here. Two wins and one placing from five at this track and distance keep her firmly in the winning discussion if she rebounds.

Led and was only run down late when second at Kawasaki last start, beaten three lengths by Vuela Grande at long odds. The run prior at Urawa was less convincing, with a third placing but a long beaten margin after being near the top of betting. Still, he has placed in all three starts, including two at this track, and barrier one should help him use his natural speed. A solid place chance with a win still to earn.

Went close at Kawasaki last start when second to Black Lizard, beaten half a length at generous odds, and that was a better piece of form than his previous fourth behind Lauro Campione. He has placed once from two attempts at this distance, but the distance query remains a genuine part of the assessment. He profiles as a minor chance if he repeats the latest run rather than one to take short odds about.

Returns from a two-month break after finishing fifth at Urawa, beaten nine lengths by Flight Doctor, when big odds and only moderate late. His previous third over 1300m here was better, as he was strong through the closing stages despite being beaten five lengths. He is still unplaced from one try at this distance and needs to find more authority late to worry the main hopes.

Returns from a two-month break after a plain ninth at Urawa, beaten over 15 lengths by Unoki Bombaye, with no clear excuse as he made no headway. That followed a debut win here over 800m, where he kicked strongly to beat G T Maroon by three lengths. The talent is there on that first run, but the latest effort leaves him needing a clear rebound to be trusted beyond place claims.
