Good pace with Mo Mo Impact, Joy D'or and Erfurt matching motors. MO MO IMPACT (2) sets the benchmark through weight of exposed form, with three wins and a second from four starts and a Sonoda 1400m win over June Speak last time. The narrow margin keeps the rematch alive, but his track-and-distance record gives him the most reliable profile. JUNE SPEAK (6) is the clear danger after going under by only a neck first-up, and his debut win over 820m showed enough dash to suggest further improvement is plausible. CHARMING NIGHT (11) brings the most imposing unbeaten record, having beaten Mo Mo Impact by four lengths here, although this draw and the six-week gap leave a little more to answer. JOY D'OR (3) was dominant on debut as a prohibitive favourite and may have more to offer, but with only one small-field run behind her she has less substance than the top two. Mo Mo Impact is the solid reference point, with June Speak the one most likely to test him again.

SNAP CALL
YOSHIHIRO IIDA 2YO CHESTNUT COLT 56.0KG Returns from a three-month break after a soft Sonoda win, beating Belle Deesse by ten lengths when near the top of betting. That was a sharp lift on his previous fifth behind Yakumo Venus, when unwanted in the market and beaten just over seven lengths. The track-and-trip win is useful, but this asks for a stronger repeat fresh against deeper opposition. |

MO MO IMPACT
HIROKI MINAMI 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Held June Speak by a neck at Sonoda last start as odds-on favourite, giving him three wins and a second from four starts. He is two wins and one place from three tries at this track and distance, and the low draw suits a colt who can be positive early. The one blemish is the four-length defeat by Charming Night two back, but his overall profile is still the most dependable in the race. |

JOY D'OR
NORIO TANAKA 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Returns off a six-week let-up after making a perfect start at Sonoda, where she was a prohibitive odds-on favourite and won by a long way from Itoshino Fursa. She had plenty in reserve there and stays at 1400m, but that came in a six-runner race and this is a fuller test of her racecraft. The talent is obvious, yet the depth of evidence points more to a strong place hope than a declaration. |

ERFURT
Yoshimi Masayuki 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns from a four-month break after an emphatic debut win at Sonoda, beating Hina Decollete by ten lengths as an odds-on favourite. He was strong through the line in that five-runner race and has the winning rider back, but the gap between runs leaves him with only one piece of form to assess. Capable of running well, though he must show that first effort transfers to this stronger contest. |

NIPPON SEIRA
KEIICHI TOKUMOTO 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Improved sharply at Sonoda last start, winning over 1230m by five lengths from Beryl Blade at generous odds. The concern is whether that can be trusted at 1400m, as he is unplaced from two attempts at the distance and had been beaten over 10 lengths behind Methode the run prior. He has place claims if the latest win is the new level, but the rise in trip keeps the winning case in check. |
5 TATSUYA TAKEMURA |

| 6 | 1x2 |
JUNE SPEAK
RYOHEI HORI 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Just missed at Sonoda first-up, looming and fighting hard when beaten a neck by Mo Mo Impact over 1400m. His only other start produced a two-and-a-half-length debut win over 820m, so he has still never missed the first two. The latest result ties him directly to the favourite, and with natural improvement second-up he has a genuine chance to turn the margin around. |
6 OSAMU SHIMOHARA |

COPANO EDO SERIES
TADAAKI HASHIMOTO 2YO BROWN COLT 56.0KG Returns from a five-week let-up after finishing third at Sonoda as odds-on favourite, beaten just over four lengths by Tanomude Tsuyoshi. That was below market expectation, although his previous win over Belle Deesse by four lengths showed he has the ability to be competitive. With one win and three places from four starts, he profiles as a reliable minor-money chance rather than a dominant winning threat. |

COOL SKY
Yoshimi Masayuki 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns from a three-month break after leading throughout on debut at Sonoda, beating Microphone by two and a half lengths as an odds-on favourite. He is already a track-and-distance winner, but that came in a five-runner race and there is no second performance to confirm the strength of the form. The raw promise is there, yet he needs to take a clear step forward to trouble the main chances. |
8 SHINGO OYAMA |

ROYAL SHERRY
TAKAMASA SUWA 2YO GREY FILLY 55.0KG Finished last at Sonoda over 1230m three weeks ago, well beaten behind Nippon Seira at big odds after settling rearward. The start prior was no better, beaten over 13 lengths by Le Jouet when unwanted in the market. She remains unplaced from four starts and now has an extra-distance query, so a substantial form reversal is required. |
9 SHUHEI KOTANI |

MASORA
KAZUYA SAKAMOTO 2YO CHESTNUT COLT 56.0KG Was safely held again at Sonoda last start, finishing eighth behind Nippon Seira over 1230m and beaten over 15 lengths after making no impression. His previous sixth behind Le Jouet was also at long odds and beaten over 12 lengths. He remains unplaced from six starts, and the distance query makes it hard to build a strong case. |

CHARMING NIGHT
IKKOO TANAKA 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns off a six-week let-up with a faultless two-from-two record at Sonoda. He beat Mo Mo Impact by four lengths last start as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, having already won on debut by three and a half lengths from Rock On D'Oro. Proven at the track and distance and now third-up, he has the strongest peak performance in the field if he reproduces it. |
11 KENTA SUGIURA |

| 12 | 311 |
TANOMUDE TSUYOSHI
TSUYOSHI KOMAKI 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Returns from a five-week let-up in winning form after scoring at Sonoda by just over a length from God's Favorite. That followed a narrow 1230m win over Soul And Soul as a well-supported favourite, so his competitive attitude is clear. He has two wins and a place from three starts overall, but this is a stronger 1400m assignment and he looks more a solid place prospect than the one to beat. |
