Race 11 1500m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Certain to be a strong tempo with Gold Master, Kawaten Jackie and Summer Cocktail leading the charge. KAWATEN JACKIE (6) sets the standard on exposed form, returning unbeaten from two Nagoya runs and already proven at this 1500m. His latest win came by a length and a half as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, and the overall profile is the most complete despite the three-month break. SUMMER COCKTAIL (9) has similar upside after winning on debut by two and a half lengths over 900m here, though the jump to 1500m is the obvious new test. NEO ZEUS (1) is race-fit, third-up and comes off a well-supported Nagoya win by a length and a half, giving him the most recent course-and-distance evidence among the main hopes. FLATTERN (4) earned a look with a three-length Nagoya win over 920m, but she has more to prove stretching to 1500m.

NEO ZEUS
KIYOMI SAKODA 2YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Progressed cleanly from a debut third over 900m behind Denali to win at Nagoya four weeks ago, scoring by a length and a half from Alcor as a well-supported favourite. He was right there before letting down nicely, and the inside barrier suits a colt who can race right on the speed. Third-up with a perfect place record from two starts, he has a solid platform to challenge the top pair. |

GOLD TOUCH
TAKAO TSUKADA 2YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Dropped right away last start when ninth at Nagoya, beaten over 13 lengths behind Blue On Pink after being unwanted in the market. That was a sharp reversal from her 920m win here over Laluz Chaser as odds-on favourite, but she has been unplaced in her only try at this distance. Class relief is some help, though she must rebound strongly to trouble these. |

GOLD MASTER
TAKAO TSUKADA 2YO CHESTNUT COLT 56.0KG Returns from a two-month break after winning his 900m debut at Nagoya, beating Angel Ring by half a length when near the top of an open market. The win had merit because he led and finished strongly, and the winning rider stays aboard. The issue is plain enough at 1500m: he is unbeaten, but this much sharper distance rise asks for a new level. |
3 TOMOMORI SYOTARO |

FLATTERN
FUJIGASAKI KAZUHITO 2YO BAY FILLY 53.0KG Improved sharply second-up at Nagoya, winning over 920m by three lengths from Second Nuts after pressing forward and kicking strongly. Her debut fourth behind Royal Amber was safely held, beaten eight lengths, so the latest run is clearly the better guide. She drops to 53kg, but the rise from sprint trips to 1500m keeps her more in the each-way bracket. |
4 KONDO HAYATO |

AILES EXPRESS
T TSUNODA 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Has built a very honest profile, placing in five of six starts and working home well for third at Nagoya last time, beaten a length and a half behind Blue On Pink. The start prior she fought hard when second to Megrez, again beaten a length and a half. Four placings from four tries at this track and distance make her a reliable place chance, though the winning edge is still the query. |
5 HOSOKAWA SATOSHI |

| 6 | 11x |
KAWATEN JACKIE
T TSUNODA 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns from a three-month break with the strongest exposed record in the race, having won both starts at Nagoya as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. His latest success came by a length and a half from Sebastien, and he is already proven at this distance. With Seigo Tsukamoto back aboard and the T Tsunoda camp in strong local form, he only needs to return in similar order to take holding out. |
6 SEIGO TSUKAMOTO |
|
| 7 | 43234 |
SEBASTIEN
Akiko Okita 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Worked home soundly at Nagoya last start but was still fourth, beaten six and a half lengths behind Megrez. His previous third behind Angel Ring was better on the margin, beaten three lengths, yet he remains a maiden after five starts. He is likely to settle off the speed and needs a stronger finish than he has shown lately to turn placings into a serious threat. |
7 TAKAHIRO IMAI |
|
| 8 | 3612 |
NAGANO ALICE
FUJIGASAKI KAZUHITO 2YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Worked home well at big odds when second to Blue On Pink at Nagoya last start, beaten a length and a half, and that followed a one-length win here over K's Velocity. Her track-and-distance record is sound, with one win and one placing from three attempts, so the set-up is not against her. The market surprise last time tempers confidence, but she has enough recent form to chase a minor share. |
8 TATSUYA WATANABE |
|
| 9 | 1x |
SUMMER COCKTAIL
TSUYOSHI KAWANISHI 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Returns from a three-month break after making a strong debut impression at Nagoya, winning over 900m by two and a half lengths from Syr Darya as a prohibitive odds-on favourite. She had plenty in hand there and comes from a stable with solid local credentials. The rise to 1500m is the clear query, but her sole race start gives her genuine winning upside. |
9 SOICHI KATO |
|
| 10 | 214 |
MEGREZ
T TSUNODA 2YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Was sent out favourite at Nagoya last start and finished fourth behind Blue On Pink, beaten just under two lengths, after only keeping to the task late. The run prior reads well, as she beat Ailes Express by a length and a half and had something in reserve. A distance win from two tries keeps her in the mix for a placing, but she must answer the beaten-favourite mark. |
