Genuine pace with Key Theme taking up the running ahead of Viale and Santa Croce. THINK CIVILITY (1) has the most reliable profile among the main chances, with a fourth here last start after being sent out favourite and a second at Nagoya two runs back. The query is obvious enough, with 11 starts still without a win, but her placed record at this track and distance keeps her firmly in the right race. K TWO CRUZADO (4) is the steadier danger, having placed at his past two here and holding a strong track-and-distance record. VIALE (6) brings the winning form after scoring here by a length and a half a week ago, and her previous third behind Hidegami Tiara gives that result some continuity. COPANO LUCAS (7) won by nine lengths last time and must be respected, though the overall profile still reads more as a genuine threat than a standout.

THINK CIVILITY
NORIYUKI UEMATSU 3YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Mitsuhiro Fukuda Held her ground when fourth here last start, beaten just under three lengths by Anfar after being sent out favourite. She had earlier finished second to Ardent Eye at Nagoya at long odds, so the recent form is sound even if the maiden record now stands at no wins from 11 starts. Three placings from five attempts at this track and distance give her the right foundation, provided she produces a sharper finish this time. |

STAR ALLIES
NORIYUKI UEMATSU 3YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Big Red Farm Finished ninth here last start, beaten just over six lengths by Anfar at big odds, and there was no obvious excuse after settling rearward. The start prior was weaker again when ninth to Vip Joie, beaten over 15 lengths and unwanted in the market. She does have one win from four starts at this track and distance, but current form leaves her with a fair bit to repair. |

SANTA CROCE
HITOMI MIYASHITA 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Takahiro Okada Returns from a two-month break after finishing eighth in a 3yo Maiden over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt, beaten seven lengths after travelling handy and finding little. Her previous seventh at Hakodate Dirt also came at big odds, and she remains winless from nine starts. The class drop and third-up setting help on paper, but the rise in trip is a genuine question against sharper recent form. |
3 TOMOMORI SYOTARO |

| 4 | x4133 |
K TWO CRUZADO
Akiko Okita 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 55.0KG Katsumi Kusumoto Placed again when third here last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Hidegami Tiara in an open market. Two back he was also third to Ardent Eye, and his one win and two places from four starts at this track and distance give him one of the more dependable profiles in the race. Think Civility had his measure recently, but he brings enough consistency to make another strong account likely. |
4 KONDO HAYATO |
|
| 5 | 03775 |
SPINEL TESORO
TETSUYA INOUE 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Ryotokuji Kenji Holdings Co. Ltd. Had the right run but offered little when fifth here last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Hidegami Tiara at big odds. The previous seventh was also safely held, beaten over 13 lengths by Aulani despite working home fairly from a long way back. A leading track jockey is booked, but she is winless from 16 starts and has yet to place from two runs at the distance, so improvement is essential. |
5 JUNKI MOCHIZUKI |

| 6 | 50031 |
VIALE
FUTOSHI TAKESHITA 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Tsuji B. Comes off a neat Nagoya win just one week ago, leading and beating Key Beat by a length and a half as short odds-on favourite. That followed a third here behind Hidegami Tiara, when she led and was only run down late at generous odds. Her two runs at the track and trip have produced a win and a placing, and that reliable on-speed pattern gives her a genuine winning platform again. |
6 SOICHI KATO |
|
| 7 | 9x841 |
COPANO LUCAS
HITOMI MIYASHITA 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 57.0KG Sachiaki Kobayashi Dominant when winning here last start, putting nine lengths on Senryo Yakusha after starting prohibitive odds-on favourite and quickening clear with plenty in hand. The run prior is the balancing point, as he was fourth to Hidegami Tiara and beaten five lengths when near the top of betting. That latest win gives him momentum, but he still has to prove he can reproduce it against deeper opposition. |
7 TAKAHIRO IMAI |
|
| 8 | 80000 |
RAYON DE LUMIERE
Akiko Okita 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Finished last over 920m here last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Win Madeira at long odds, and he was unable to make ground from the rear. His previous run was more severe, as he was never competitive and was beaten out of sight behind Bella Centaurus. The return to this distance is some context, but unplaced form from four Nagoya starts leaves him with plenty to find. |
8 KATSUKI NIWA |
|
| 9 | 00852 |
GREATER GREY
SHINICHI IDEUE 3YO GREY FILLY 53.0KG Jiyugaoka Thoroughbred Club Improved sharply when second here last start, beaten a length and a half by Go Go Mango after being run down late at big odds. That was a better piece of form than her fifth to Aulani two runs back, where she was beaten just over nine lengths after starting at long odds. She has a prior win with this jockey, but only one placing from seven track-and-distance attempts tempers the winning case. |
9 AOI KINOMAE |
|
| 10 | 50900 |
MAIOLICA
TETSUYA INOUE 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG KH Racing Dropped out badly when last here last start, beaten over 20 lengths by Little Lily after settling rearward and weakening further in the straight. She had also finished last behind Vip Joie two runs back, beaten a long way at huge odds. One win and one placing from seven starts at this track and distance is not enough to offset the current decline, so others make much stronger appeal. |
10 SHIN HIGASHIKAWA |

KEY THEME
TSUYOSHI KAWANISHI 3YO DK B FILLY 52.0KG Koichiro Kitamae Ran second here last start, beaten four lengths by Alula Mefa'A after being near the top of betting and run down late. The prior fifth in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt was sound enough at big odds, beaten three lengths by Unnatamsa. She stays on 52kg and has placed at this distance, but a wide draw and 10-start maiden record point more to minor money than a confident win play. |
