Won at this track and distance two back, then placed as favourite over 1400m. Back to his perfect 1600m setup and clearly the one to beat.

Resumes with a good track-and-distance record, but his last two runs were well held and the market showed little interest.

Back after four months, with a win and a second from his last two runs at this venue. Solid fresh prospect with place appeal.

Made late ground at Urawa last week and has strong old figures at this venue, but recent form still leaves him chasing the main hopes.

Resumes after a poor favourite flop at Funabashi. His earlier Kasamatsu second gives him a place case if he rebounds.

Back from a break with two heavy defeats behind him. Track-and-distance history helps, but current form is hard to endorse.

Resumes off a comfortable win over Sonic Star at this venue. Strong overall strike-rate and the mile suits; definite threat.

Back from six weeks off and has been honest in stronger lead-ups. Third-up profile and consistent recent form keep him right in play.

Last-start fifth reads better than the margin, and his 1600m record is outstanding. Strong danger back to his best trip.

Resumes after beating Alles Gut at this venue. Winning claims are more measured, but his recent track form gives him place appeal.

Recent runs have been well below the mark and she is unplaced in ten starts across the past year. Others appeal far more.

Resumes after a closing fifth behind Bear Bakkyun, but the margins have still been too big. Minor claims at best.

Back from a break with two plain runs behind him. Past track-and-distance form helps, but a sharp revival is required.
