In a race devoid of early speed Kashino Tsukiyomi is the most likely to find the front. LADY BONBON (8) looks the right starting point in this 2yo COND over 900m at Saga. She improved from a ninth on debut to third behind Wrapping Film at this track, and being placed from two starts gives her more substance than most of these, even allowing for the big margin and the drop back in trip. KASHINO TSUKIYOMI (4) is the main danger on profile rather than raw last-start performance; he was tailed off behind Timbre Tesoro, but had worked home evenly the run prior and now gets another chance third-up. MANA KUKINI (6) has been sound enough to keep in the mix, with a fourth last start and only 52kg again, though his margins say he still has to lift. HANAIKI BUMBUN (7) was beaten over 13 lengths on debut, but with only one run behind her she has scope to improve and is the next most likely of the selected chances.

TELESTO TESORO
Sameshima Katsuya 2YO BAY COLT 55.0KG Makes his debut from barrier 1 with limited race evidence to assess, so the market may be a useful guide. Sameshima Katsuya has one winner and three placings from six debut runners, while the trainer-sire pairing has a perfect three wins from three starts. That gives some background interest, but he still has to transfer it to race pressure before being treated as a major player. |

FUKUSHIMA ROYAL
HIROFUMI ISHIKAWA 2YO BAY FILLY 51.0KG Comes here race fit and down to 51kg, but the recent form asks for caution. She was last behind Timbre Tesoro at Saga over 1300m, never competitive and beaten out of sight, after a distant sixth behind Wrapping Film. The drop back in trip is a query, yet the class relief and light weight give her enough to be considered for minor money only. |

WIN FLAG
MICHITAKA DOI 2YO GREY FILLY 54.0KG Has been well held in both starts, finishing sixth behind Moon Of The Cross at Saga after settling a long way back and making no impression. Her debut was similarly plain when last behind Yoka Musume at big odds. Third-up and back in grade are small positives, but she needs to show a much sharper response before she becomes a serious threat. |
3 NAOHITO TANAKA |

KASHINO TSUKIYOMI
KATSUTOSHI TESHIMA 2YO BAY COLT 55.0KG Needs to rebound from being tailed off behind Timbre Tesoro over 1300m at Saga, where he settled rearward and failed to make late ground. His previous fifth behind Wrapping Film was better, as he worked home evenly despite being among the outsiders. Third-up and dropping in class bring him right into calculations, but the back in trip query keeps the confidence measured. |

MAGISSA KIRKE
MASANORI MASHIMA 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Debuts with Manato Hida aboard, and the rider's strong local profile is the clearest positive in a thin evidence base. Masanori Mashima has had one debut runner for a placing, which is some support, but there is no race experience or sibling performance data supplied to firm the case. She may run well, though others bring more exposed form. |
5 MANATO HIDA |

| 6 | 864 |
MANA KUKINI
MOTONORI MASHIMA 2YO GREY COLT 52.0KG Recorded fourth behind Moon Of The Cross at Saga last start, and the in-running note was kinder than the margin, but he was still officially a long way from the winner. His previous sixth behind Star Of Charge was better than the market expected, coming after being unwanted in betting. With 52kg and race fitness, he has a credible place shape if the shorter trip suits. |
6 CAMELLIA SOUTA |

HANAIKI BUMBUN
KINYA KITAMURA 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Second-up after finishing last of five on debut at Saga, beaten over 13 lengths behind Rinen Kalmia after settling back and holding position rather than improving. She was at long odds there, so expectations were modest, but natural improvement is possible from one run. The class drop helps her place claims, provided she takes a clear step forward. |
7 TAKUTO DEMIZU |

LADY BONBON
HIROFUMI ISHIKAWA 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Returns after a five-week break following a third behind Wrapping Film at Saga, where she worked home evenly and was near the top of an open market. That was a clear advance on her debut ninth behind Aoi Ito, when she conceded a big start but was fair through the line. She has already beaten Kashino Tsukiyomi here and profiles as the strongest winning option if she handles 900m. |
8 SHINSUKE ISHIKAWA |

| 9 | 66877 |
KISEKINO KISEKI
AKIMASA IBI 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Has had six starts at Saga without a placing and the latest form is difficult to recommend. She was seventh behind Moon Of The Cross last start, beaten out of sight at big odds, after being tailed off behind Wrapping Film when among the outsiders. The class drop is noted, but she needs a major form turnaround to trouble the better chances. |
