Recent efforts have been plain, including a ninth at Kawasaki when beaten over 10 lengths. Proven at 1600m, but has to lift sharply.

Returns from three months off with poor recent ALLOW form to overcome, but his 12-month profile is strong enough to make him a live chance.

Back from one month off with strong track-and-distance credentials, but the latest two runs have lacked the finish required.

Last-start sixth was better, but long-term form remains thin and he is unplaced from 12 starts in the past year.

Beaten over 16 lengths last start and over 12 lengths the run prior. Current form makes him hard to recommend.

Closed strongly into third at Urawa and has a good record with this jockey. Looks a genuine place chance if he produces the same finish.

Solid in B2B3 grade last start and had won at this track before that. Track record and 1600m credentials keep her right in it.

Returns from five weeks off after a solid third at this venue. Consistent track record points to another placing chance.

Rider record is sound, but the last two runs lacked dash and he was unwanted in betting. Others bring stronger recent form.

Returns from five weeks off chasing six straight after dominant wins at this venue. Unbeaten here and clearly the one to beat.

Last at Urawa and beaten out of sight last start. Recent figures leave her facing a difficult assignment.

Big-odds third last start was a step forward, but the long maiden record and 1600m stats keep her in place-only territory.

Last-start Urawa second gives her a claims boost, and this jockey knows her well. Wide draw keeps the win case in check.
