Placed often enough at this track and distance, but the first-up tenth offered little and the winless record remains a major hurdle.

Drops from C2C3 grade, but recent Urawa form is plain and he is still chasing a first win after 27 starts.

Fourth to My Bridge last start and has placed three times at this track and distance. Still winless, but this is a winnable race for her.

Back after a long break with a track-and-trip win in the book. Last campaign ended poorly, so a placing looks the safer aim.

Last-start Urawa fourth was better, but the broader profile is still thin and she has only one placing from 15 runs at the trip.

Beaten favourite last start, but her prior track-and-trip win over Le Joueur keeps her firmly in the place mix third-up.

Last-start winner, heavily backed, and outstanding at this track and distance. With Ryo Novata aboard again, he is the one to beat.

Latest run behind My Bridge was below what was required, but his track-and-distance record gives him minor claims.

Beaten over 12 lengths at both recent runs and has been safely held by better chances in this field. Hard to make a case.

Last at this track last start and unplaced in all 14 runs over the past 12 months. Others are far more appealing.

Veteran with plenty of track-and-trip grounding and a recent second behind Velos. Has to turn the tables on My Bridge, but she is a danger.

Last start was poor, but the Funabashi third two runs back was solid. A rebound puts him in the minor-money picture.
