Just a moderate pace anticipated. GINGA EXPRESS (10) sets the standard on the strength of a last-start third at Saga in 3yo+ COND grade, beaten just over three lengths, and his broader profile reads well with three wins and five places from 19 starts in the past 12 months. SHONAN NATSUZORA (1) is the main threat, bringing consecutive fourths at Kochi and a proven track-and-distance record, though she still has to turn those honest runs into a sharper winning finish. SHISHI (6) is the volatile runner: his latest eighth was plain, but the start prior he beat Brick Barn by four lengths at Kochi, so his best form is good enough. JAGUAR BAROWS (8) appeals as the value danger after a narrow second two back, but he must rebound from a safely held seventh last time.

SHONAN NATSUZORA
KAZUTO TAIRA 5YO CHESTNUT MARE 55.0KG Shonan Co. Ltd. Worked home well when fourth at Kochi last start, albeit beaten over 10 lengths behind Rhizomatics after starting only an outside chance in the betting. Her previous fourth over 1600m here was similar in margin, so the knock is the lack of a winning punch. A track-and-trip win gives her a genuine base for this, and she rates as one of the better hopes if she can settle closer enough to matter. |

NORTH THE WORLD
Ureshi Katsunori 8YO BROWN HORSE 57.0KG Three H Racing Co. Ltd. Was second last at Kochi last start, beaten over 15 lengths by Copano Curacao at long odds after having the job ahead and failing to close off. The run prior was also plain when ninth over 1600m here. His two wins and six places from 13 starts at this track and distance keep him relevant, but recent form says he is more a place hope than a win play. |

QUELLE
Toshihiro Nishigawa 5YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG Kanayama Holdings Co. Ltd. Finished ninth at Kochi last start, beaten over 11 lengths by Copano Curacao after getting too far back and making no impression. That followed a last in 3yo+ C1 grade, beaten over 12 lengths by Meisho Mikawa when unwanted in the market. The class drop is some help, but his current form leaves a sizeable improvement task. |

PRIMA FEVRE
SHINJI KUDO 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Hiroshi Araihara Conceded a huge start when sixth at Kochi last time and, while fair late, was still beaten over 14 lengths by Rhizomatics. She had also been seventh here over 1600m, beaten just over seven lengths when unwanted in the market. Two wins at this track and distance are in her favour, but she looks a place chance only if she can avoid giving away such a head start. |

SURPRISE VIEW
DAISAKU MEKUSA 8YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG CHEVAL ATTACHE Co. Ltd. Came from well back for a decent finish when ninth at Kochi last start, beaten over 10 lengths by Logan Pass and unwanted in the market. Two back he was fifth to Shishi over 1600m, beaten five and a half lengths after working home only fairly. His track-and-distance record offers some support, but he needs to produce more sustained pressure to threaten. |
5 TEPPEI KOTANI |

SHISHI
JOJI TANAKA 4YO DK B HORSE 57.0KG Failed to make an impact when eighth at Kochi last start, beaten over 16 lengths by Baby Boss at big odds, so that run has to be treated cautiously. The start prior is the reason he remains firmly in the mix, having led and beaten Brick Barn by four lengths over 1600m here. His overall record is sound and a return to that July form would make him a serious player. |
6 YUGA OKUBO |

TAMAMO ITTOSEI
MASAMITSU SAKAI 8YO BLACK HORSE 57.0KG Tamamo K. Led and battled evenly when fifth at Kochi last start, beaten just over six lengths by I Blanco at big odds. That was an improvement on his second last in 3yo+ C1 grade, where he was beaten over 18 lengths by Craving Honor. He has a track-and-distance win, but no wins from 23 starts in the past 12 months is a major concern. |
7 ABE MOTOTSUGU |

JAGUAR BAROWS
MAI MIYAGAWA 5YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Was always behind the race when seventh at Kochi last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Baby Boss after conceding a big start. The better reference is his previous second here over 1600m, beaten a length by Meisho Inuwashi when near the top of an open market. He is proven at the distance, but needs to reproduce that sharper run to be a genuine winning threat. |
8 OGASAWARA ANTELOPE |

LA INA SHERRY
TADAYOSHI HOSOKAWA 5YO BROWN MARE 55.0KG West.Forest.Stable Co. Ltd. Finished fifth at Kochi last start, beaten over 12 lengths by Rhizomatics after getting well back and never looking likely. Her previous fifth over 1600m here was also a long-margin effort, beaten over 11 lengths by Misterio when unwanted in the market. A track-and-distance placing profile helps a little, but she needs a much sharper finish. |
9 YUICHIRO SHIBATA |

GINGA EXPRESS
MAMORU TANAKA 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Kota Kanematsu Finished third in 3yo+ COND grade at Saga last start, beaten just over three lengths by Rommet after being near the top of an open market. He had earlier been fifth in 3yo+ C3 grade at Kochi, beaten just over four lengths by Al Malikat Saba. With a win and three places from nine starts at this track and distance, he brings the most reliable profile in this field. |
10 TAYAMA OSUKE |

STEVE BAROWS
S BEPPU 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Hirotsugu Inokuma Resumed with a seventh at Kochi, beaten over 14 lengths by Nicholaus after settling back and making no impression late. His previous run was in December, when fifth in 3yo+ C1 grade here and beaten just over five lengths after catching the eye late. One win from four starts at this track and distance is useful, but he must lift sharply second-up. |
11 KONDO SHOGETSU |

WHITIANGA
HIROKI NISHIYAMA 7YO GREY GELDING 57.0KG Settled just off the lead but faded to seventh at Kochi last start, beaten ten lengths by I Blanco when unwanted in the market. The run prior was also plain in 3yo+ COND grade, beaten over 12 lengths by Stella Matutina after falling away late. He has won at this track and distance, but recent evidence points to others having stronger claims. |
