Back from two months after consecutive Sonoda wins. Three wins from four overall and proven at 1500m; a major place player if sharp fresh.

Last run was plain, but the 1500m record is sound and his overall profile keeps him in the minor-money mix.

Back freshened and gets weight relief, but recent Saga runs were well held. Place claims only if she finds sharper late work.

Recent form is below winning level and he remains a maiden after ten starts. A minor placing is the more realistic aim.

Freshened since a poor run here, but the Niigata effort two back gives him a case. Third-up and capable of sharp improvement.

Back after five weeks chasing three straight wins. Two from two at 1500m and arrives with the right form to win again.

Beaten a long way last start and the placing two back came at long odds in a distant result. Hard to recommend.

Back after a three-month break. Has placed at this track, but the last run before the spell was well below the required level.

Did not shirk it last start, but he is still unplaced from ten starts. More an exotics hope than a win threat.

Beaten favourite last start and still winless after 16 runs. Can place on his better efforts, but the winning edge is missing.

Freshened since a good second at this track and already a two-time 1500m winner. Brings the right profile and looks the one to beat.
