Settled a long way back and was eighth at this track last start, beaten just over eight lengths behind Pushkar after being sent around at big odds. The run prior had more merit through the line despite a sixth beaten over 12 lengths, but the overall profile remains thin. With no placings from six tries around 1500m, he must find a sharper finish to get involved.

Went backwards last start when seventh at this track, beaten over 15 lengths by Jacky Barows and unwanted in the market. Her previous fourth behind Seisui Carmen was sounder, albeit still beaten six lengths at long odds. Fourth-up fitness and the class drop give her a place angle, but her winless record at this track and distance keeps the ceiling modest.

Led narrowly before being swamped and finished a distant last behind Ho O Wise at this venue, continuing a plain run of form. He had also been beaten over 18 lengths when eighth behind Misty Purple the start before. The weight relief and class drop are useful only in a limited sense, as he remains unplaced from ten starts and must lift sharply.

Was below her best when eighth behind Fruits Baby at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths after sitting just off the pace and failing to challenge. The better guide may be her previous sixth, beaten four and a half lengths behind Meisho Valkyrja when respected in an open market. With a track-and-distance placing and the winning rider back, she can rebound strongly.

Improved neatly when third behind Sweet Laki at this track last start, beaten four lengths after working home evenly and being near the top of betting. That was a clear step forward from his previous seventh when he tracked the speed but failed to quicken. Fourth-up now, with a prior placing at this track and distance, he has the right platform to go close.

Made no impression from the rear when ninth behind Fruits Baby at this track last start, beaten over 14 lengths and starting at big odds. The run before was only fair, closing late without ever threatening when seventh behind Gavarnie. A class drop helps marginally, but he is winless from 29 starts and unplaced in nine runs at this track and distance.

Finished sixth behind Fruits Baby at this track last start, beaten nine and a half lengths, but that still had enough substance in this line-up and he beat Alma Freya home in the same race. Two back he was never involved in a 3yo Maiden over 2600m at Sapporo, so this is a more suitable assignment. Despite the maiden record, he is well placed to improve sharply.

Was eighth behind Jacky Barows at this track last start, beaten over 15 lengths, and there was no clear excuse in the available run detail. Her previous seventh behind Meisho Valkyrja was more competitive, beaten just under five lengths after racing in touch, but she failed to threaten. With no placings from nine starts, a sizeable turnaround is required.

Took a placing last start when third behind Ho O Wise at this venue, but the margin was still a long way and she only battled into the minor money. Her previous fifth behind Seisui Carmen was a more even guide, beaten seven and a half lengths. The campaign has shown some improvement and she has placed at the trip, though a win still looks a stretch.

Loomed up but could not go on when fifth behind Pushkar at this track last start, beaten just over six lengths as an outside chance in betting. That was a better effort than his Chukyo 3yo Maiden run, where he was tenth and never looked likely. Third-up fitness gives him scope to hold his ground longer, but the winless record points more to a place hope.

Picked up nicely in the straight when fourth behind Pushkar at this track last start, beaten six lengths despite being unwanted in the market. That followed a solid second behind Seisui Carmen, beaten three lengths, so her recent form is more reliable than most of these. Still a maiden, but the distance placing and leading rider help her profile as a genuine place chance.

Had the job ahead and made no headway when seventh behind Eternal Vision at this track last start, beaten a long way after being unwanted in the market. His previous ninth behind Lilii Borea was also moderate, but his broader 1500m record includes two placings and the winning rider returns. A place is possible only if he gets back to earlier-season form.
