Finished well held over 2000m at Kawasaki last start after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. That followed a last placing in 3yo+ B3C1 company when unwanted in the market and beaten over 18 lengths. The class drop and winning rider returning are small positives, but her 1600m record is thin and recent form leaves her with plenty to find.

Continued a consistent run of form when third at Kawasaki last start, beaten three lengths after getting busy late from an awkward position. He had charged home to miss by just over half a length at this track before that and has a strong record here, with one win and one placing from two starts. Proven around 1600m and reliable enough to be a major player again.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second at this track, beaten two lengths when picking up well late at long odds. He had also run second to Bright Beginning at this venue the start prior and is a track-and-distance winner with three wins around 1600m. The profile is honest and the jockey combination reads well, making him a live winning chance again.

Led at Kawasaki when fourth first-up, beaten seven and a half lengths after being near the top of betting. His previous run was stronger, going under by just under a length over 2000m, and he has won three times around 1600m. Second-up improvement would not surprise, but he was clearly held by Mucha Suerte last time and must sharpen to threaten the main hopes.

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing fifth at this track over 1800m, beaten just over eight lengths when run down late. His better reference is the Urawa second before that, where he worked home evenly and was beaten two lengths at generous odds. He did beat Mucha Suerte at this venue two months ago, but a winless 1600m record keeps him in the place mix rather than higher.

Returns from a five-week let-up after running second in a 3yo COND at this track, beaten seven lengths by Danon Mustang but still holding his place in the market. The start before at Kawasaki was only fair over 2000m, yet his overall record is strong with two wins and two placings from five starts. His unbeaten place record at this venue makes him a key winning chance.

Was a beaten odds-on favourite at Kawasaki last start, finishing sixth over 900m after settling well back and only making some late impression. She had been third over the same trip the run before and her overall record of four wins and one placing from six starts is clearly better than that latest result. The first try around 1600m is the main query, so she profiles as a place chance if she stays.

Has been safely held at Kawasaki in both recent runs, finishing tenth last start when beaten over 11 lengths at long odds after settling rearward and making no impression. The prior 2000m run was no better, again tenth and beaten over 13 lengths in 3yo+ B3C1 company. She has placed at 1600m before, but recent efforts give her a difficult task.

Comes off another solid placing, running second at Kawasaki when beaten two and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite. He only battled late there, but the run followed a brave second at this track over 1800m when beaten just under a length after fighting hard. With one win and four placings from eight starts in the past year, he brings the best current form and looks the one to beat.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing 12th at this track over 1800m, beaten over 15 lengths after settling miles back and failing to improve. His previous run here was better only in patches, coming from well back for seventh at big odds without ever threatening. The career record is sound, but current form is well short of what is required.

Returns from a five-week let-up third-up after fading to sixth at this track, beaten just over seven lengths when close enough if good enough. She had earlier run third at this venue at big odds after tracking the speed and working home evenly. Her track-and-distance record includes a placing, but she has not won for 12 months and must improve on the latest effort.

Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing second last at this track, well beaten when fading late and unwanted in the market. He was also second last at Urawa the start before, beaten over 18 lengths at big odds. Past wins around 1600m are noted, but he is unplaced from nine starts in the past 12 months and current form is a major concern.

Finished eighth at Kawasaki over 1400m last start, beaten nine lengths at big odds after being asked to come from too far back. Two back at this track he was last over 1200m and beaten over 14 lengths, so recent form is difficult to support. The class drop gives him some help, but he has been unplaced in 15 starts across the past 12 months.

Returns from a three-month break after ending last campaign with a third in a 3yo COND at this track, beaten just over a length in a small field. The run before was stronger, beating Mada Yarukai by a length and a half at this venue, and her overall record of two wins and two placings from six starts is solid. First-up fitness is the unknown, but her local form gives her each-way appeal.
