Back after a lengthy break with strong track-and-distance credentials, but the latest racing form was plain. Place claims if returning in order.

Fourth behind Candy Tuft reads well for this, and the weight relief helps. Recent rivals have claims, but his profile makes him the one to beat.

Beaten over 17 lengths last start and well held two back. Track-and-trip wins are noted, but he must lift sharply.

Past track-and-trip form and a winning rider help, but the last two runs were well below the mark. Others bring stronger recent claims.

Last-start C7 winner who had been close the run before. Stronger contest now, but her finish makes her a genuine place hope.

Freshened since two plain B6 runs, but the overall record is sound and Masaaki Ohata has placed often on him. Place chance at best.

Recent runs have lacked finish and the career record is thin. Hard to make a strong case on current evidence.

Beat Yamori Atsumare two back and gets Soichi Kato aboard. Latest C3 fifth was sound enough to keep her among the main hopes.

Last start was plain, but the B1 fourth two back and strong Gaku Banno record keep him in the place mix.

Third behind Candy Tuft and beat Yamori Atsumare home there. Win record is modest, but recent form makes him a serious chance.

Better two back than last start, but the Vip Joie run was a heavy defeat. Track-and-trip record only keeps her on the fringe.

Track-and-distance winner, but the last two runs have tailed off badly. Would have to find her earlier form quickly.
