A few sit handy but there won't be a great deal of early pressure. MORNING CHIKARA (3) sets the standard in a modest 2yo COND, having improved sharply from a well-beaten debut to finish fourth behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, beaten four lengths, and he also holds recent form over Asa Flowsion and Kashino Grand Dio. ASA FLOWSION (4) was respected near the top of an open market in the same race and, while beaten nine lengths, her overall profile still reads as one of the better chances if she can find a cleaner finish third-up. KASHINO GRAND DIO (6) has a mixed reference, with a ten-length sixth latest offset by a debut effort where she charged home from a big price, so she remains a live danger rather than a certainty. COPANO BLONDE (5) has been well beaten in both starts, but this race lacks depth and she can improve enough third-up to press for a minor upset if the main hopes fail to go on with it.

LISIAN DRACO
TAKASHI NOGUCHI 2YO BAY COLT 54.0KG Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing eighth behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, beaten over 12 lengths after settling rearward and making no impression. His debut was even harder to assess positively, as he was dominant favourite at a very short odds-on quote but was beaten out of sight behind The Last Chadal. The class drop and third-up profile help, but he must turn the form around to land a place. |

TENRYU BLACK
Yumiko Iriguchi 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Resumes after three months off following a sixth at Kawasaki behind With Circlet, beaten over 14 lengths despite making some late ground. The run prior at Urawa was weaker again, finishing a distant last behind Ken Sirius after giving away a big start. She is unplaced in five starts overall and at all three attempts at this distance, so the task remains demanding. |

MORNING CHIKARA
TAKESHI MINOWA 2YO BAY COLT 54.0KG Returns from a two-month let-up off the clearest recent form reference in the race, working home well for fourth behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa and beaten four lengths. That was a sizeable improvement on his debut last behind Unoki Bombaye, and he has already beaten Asa Flowsion and Kashino Grand Dio in recent Urawa form. Still a maiden after two runs, but the upward trend makes him the one to beat. |

ASA FLOWSION
SHINSUKE KUDO 2YO BLACK FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing fifth behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, beaten nine lengths, when she was near the top of an open market but came under pressure late. She had earlier been sent out favourite on debut over 800m and failed to quicken, so the finishing effort still has to improve. Third-up in a suitable class range, she remains a strong winning threat if she responds late. |

COPANO BLONDE
SHINSUKE KUDO 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing seventh behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, beaten over 10 lengths, when big odds and never likely from well back. Her debut over 800m was similar, finishing last behind Seven Sword after being beaten over 14 lengths. The third-up class-drop set-up gives her some hope in a thin race, but she has to show far more intent late. |
5 KEITA NISHI |

KASHINO GRAND DIO
YOSHIKAZU KANUMA 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing sixth behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, beaten ten lengths after settling a long way back and failing to make ground. Her debut behind Young Warrior was more encouraging, charging home from big odds to finish fifth and beaten eight lengths. She has traded results with Asa Flowsion, and a repeat of the better debut effort keeps her firmly in the race. |

OSAKENO OTOMONI
SHINOBU HASEGAWA 2YO CHESTNUT COLT 54.0KG Resumes after three months off following a fifth behind Yuyu Curacao at Urawa, beaten six and a half lengths after settling rearward. His debut over 800m was well held behind Flight Doctor, and he remains unplaced from two starts, but the latest effort was a step in the right direction. Back in a race of limited depth, he can be included for the minor money if ready to go fresh. |

M ONE CHIKO
KAZUMA YABUGUCHI 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a six-week freshening after a difficult debut over 800m at Urawa, finishing last behind Irodorino Kokoro and beaten out of sight. She held a spot to the turn but was still well back and faded late, with the market also offering little encouragement at long odds. The rise to 1400m is another query, so sharp improvement is required before she appeals. |

YUYU UTAGE
KAZUNORI SAKAI 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a two-month let-up after finishing last behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, never competitive and beaten out of sight at long odds. The start prior was also poor, beaten a long way behind Yuyu Curacao after giving up meekly in the run home. She is unplaced in four starts at this track and has been beaten by several of the better chances, so others make stronger appeal. |
9 DAI OKADA |

YUYU OCHOKO
SHINSUKE KUDO 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a four-month break after a very quiet debut at Urawa, finishing last behind Loose Aggressive in a small field and beaten a long way after starting big odds. She had too much ground to make up and was not up to the task, leaving little race evidence to support a sharp return. The class drop is noted, but she still has plenty to prove at 1400m. |

DUNE DELIGHT
KATSUFUMI SUZUKI 2YO BAY COLT 54.0KG Returns from a two-month let-up after running second last behind Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, never competitive and beaten out of sight at long odds. His debut behind Seven Sword was also plain, finishing sixth and beaten over 14 lengths after making no late impression. Even with a leading track rider taking over, the recent evidence says he needs substantial improvement. |
