Races ORM Nagoya - JAP

Makes her debut from barrier 1 with Seigo Tsukamoto taking the ride, and that gives this Espoir City filly a neat starting point. Yukio Abe's recent debut runners have placed twice from five, while the trainer-sire pairing has produced 12 wins and 33 placings from 91 starts. With the inside draw and a leading jockey aboard, she profiles as the one to beat among these newcomers.

Debuts with the light 52kg and a positive stable profile behind her. Hiroyuki Imazu is a strong track trainer, and his Le Vent Se Leve runners have delivered 14 wins from 34 starts with a high placing rate. The family adds substance, with Okemaru winning on debut and Mykonos Flavor placing first time out. She has genuine claims if she is sharp early.

Starts out for Tsuyoshi Kawanishi, whose recent debut record is notably strong at four wins and six placings from seven starters. The pedigree is also appealing, being from the family of Prince Return, a Listed winner and G3 placegetter. Those positives earn respect, but she is assessed behind the main trio and must show immediate race-day polish.

Begins from barrier 4 with Junki Mochizuki, the leading track jockey, booked for the ride. The Smart Falcon and Yukio Abe combination is a genuine positive, showing 11 wins and 17 placings from 28 runners. The trainer's recent debut strike-rate is more place than win, so she shapes as a solid minor chance rather than the clear top pick.

Debuts for Hiroyuki Imazu, and the stable profile is the main positive. Her full sibling Teruken Ren Shachi has won three races, while Happy Yellow adds further winning depth to the family. The immediate debut record in the pedigree is mixed, though, and she appears to face a tougher task than the stablemate drawn inside.
