Plain as favourite first-up, but his overall record is strong and the 1500m profile is solid. Improvement second-up puts him in the placings.

Resumes after a consistent first campaign and is proven at this track and trip. Genuine place claims if ready to go.

Recent efforts have been fair rather than sharp. Has placed at this track and distance, but the win case is limited.

Back from five weeks and comes off a solid third behind Cornetto Rosso. The 1500m record tempers the win case, but he can place.

Recent Mombetsu form is plain and she remains winless from 14 starts. A sharp turnaround is required.

Freshened since a well-beaten eighth here. Track-and-distance placings help, but she must find more late.

Fourth at Urawa was an improvement, but he was safely held by Cornetto Rosso here two back. Place at best.

Back after four months, but his latest form was well below this level and he remains winless from 33 starts.

Freshened since winning at this track and has strong 1500m credentials. Prior win over Jun Fukari adds real weight.

Quick back-up after a fair Funabashi seventh. Prior second here was better, but others bring stronger winning form.

Powerful Urawa winner last start and still had merit behind Cornetto Rosso prior. Brings the right recent form to go close again.

One-month freshen after two straight wins at this track. Market confidence and a perfect jockey record keep him right in the race.
