Race 3 900m Track: SOFT True |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
The entire field is on debut so expecting the two-year-olds to go keenly. FUKU BERGIA (2) gets the narrow call in a race made up entirely of debutants, with barrier two and the first-start second of half-sibling Fuku Ambition over 1000m at Funabashi giving her a sound 900m profile. UME CHAUZO (3) has perhaps the strongest stable indicators, with Naoyuki Akiyama showing 2 wins and 3 placings from 4 debut runners and a solid Gold Dream record, so he is a serious threat from barrier three. MINA STAR (4) brings the leading Kawasaki trainer and jockey combination, plus family debut pointers through Star Guts Man and Star President. DIANA SUMMIT (6) has the deepest winning family but must do it from the outside, while KURIGENO LADY (5) looks more a place chance.

IF YOU WILL
HIDEO KUBO 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Draws the inside for her first race start and comes from an Omega Perfume-Lapin Noir line with some useful family references, headed by Kagayaki Temma, a five-time winner who ran second on debut at Ohi. Hideo Kubo has 2 wins and 3 placings from 5 debut runners, which is a positive. Even so, against several stronger-profiled newcomers, she may need to show above-average early sharpness. |

FUKU BERGIA
Yutaka Nagatomo 2YO GREY FILLY 54.0KG Begins from barrier two over 900m and has a clean starting point for a first-up debut. The family gives a relevant pointer, with half-sibling Fuku Ambition placing on debut over 1000m at Funabashi before winning later. Yutaka Nagatomo's recent debut sample is plain, but the draw, distance profile and Niihara Shuma's strong track standing keep her high among the chances. |

UME CHAUZO
NAOYUKI AKIYAMA 2YO BAY COLT 54.0KG Comes through a stable with notable debut results, as Naoyuki Akiyama has 2 wins and 3 placings from 4 first starters, and the trainer's Gold Dream combination has produced 3 wins from 9 starts. Barrier three looks a sensible draw for a 900m debut, with Tsubasa Sasagawa another plus. The sibling debut record is not as sharp, but the stable profile makes him a major player. |

MINA STAR
KENICHI TAKATSUKI 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Starts for the leading Kawasaki trainer Kenichi Takatsuki and has Ryo Novata, the leading track jockey, aboard from barrier four. The debut data is solid enough, with the stable placing 12 of 23 first starters and the Hokko Tarumae pairing producing 15 wins from 88 runners. Star Guts Man and Star President both placed on debut, so she has the profile to take a prominent role. |

KURIGENO LADY
Satoru Furusawa 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Has a wider draw than the main inside hopes but carries the standard 54kg and debuts from the Satoru Furusawa stable. The trainer-debut and Smart Falcon-combination records lean more towards placings than wins, while related runners Cappuccino and Cocoa were safely held at their first starts. She has enough to be considered for minor money, but the winning case is less compelling. |

DIANA SUMMIT
JUICHI TAJIMA 2YO BROWN FILLY 53.0KG Gets in with 53kg and has the strongest depth of winning family form in the race, headed by Rising Summit with 10 wins and Kitano Blue Hallez with 8. Rising Summit also won on debut over 900m at Kawasaki, which is a direct and useful reference. Barrier six is the task, and the stable debut figures are modest, but the pedigree leaves her with genuine place appeal. |
