Race 4 1200m Track: |

|---|---|---|---|---|

They look to roll along early with Hachikin and Will Altar leading the charge. HACHIKIN (6) sets the standard after a decisive three-length win over 1000m at Mombetsu, where she was the short odds-on favourite and beat Chrome Boy with something in hand. The extra 200m is the main question, but her current form is clearly the strongest in this field. SUCRERIE (3) is the danger on placement, returning from 3yo Maiden form at Chukyo Dirt and having been fourth at Sonoda two runs back, though she still has no placing from five starts. GRATIAE (9) brings the best course-and-distance profile among the main chances, with one win and one place from seven attempts here, and her latest seventh was only just over four lengths from Boules De Neige. LEVANTARSE (10) improved sharply into second at big odds last start, beaten two and a half lengths by Eudaemonia, but needs to prove that was no one-off after a plain run the start prior.

FROZEN QUEEN
Fuyuki Igarashi 3YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Yuko Nakamura Finished sixth at Mombetsu two weeks ago and was beaten over 15 lengths by Kitano Sirius, working home fairly without ever threatening. That came after a much heavier defeat at Sapporo Dirt, where she was unwanted in the market and never competitive. The class drop offers some context, but unplaced form from three starts leaves her with plenty to find. |

BLAST OFF
MASAHIRO SAITO 3YO CHESTNUT COLT 57.0KG Godolphin Returns from a two-month break after fading out to finish 13th at Chukyo Dirt over 1900m, beaten over 17 lengths by Tanisen Gold. His previous seventh at Hanshin Dirt was also well held, beaten over 12 lengths at big odds. Back in trip and dropping in class may help slightly, but the recent evidence says he must improve sharply. |

SUCRERIE
HIROTO KAWASHIMA 3YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Yukio Mizukami Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing ninth in a Chukyo Dirt 3yo Maiden, beaten just over seven lengths by Mozu Osakini after settling too far back to make an impression. The stronger pointer is her fourth at Sonoda two runs back, when beaten just over five lengths after having every chance. She is still unplaced from five starts, but this looks a more suitable level to show something. |

WILL ALTAR
HIROYUKI OGUNI 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Raced prominently at Mombetsu last start over 1600m but faded to eighth, beaten just under ten lengths by Muscle Chummy. He had also disappointed over 1700m the run prior after being near the top of an open market. The return to 1200m suits better and his track-and-distance place record is sound, but he needs to rediscover form quickly. |

LACARIA
H HIROMORI 3YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Hirotsugu Oku Made late ground for fourth behind Kitano Sirius at Mombetsu two weeks ago, but the margin was still over 12 lengths and she started at long odds. Her previous fourth behind Riko Nick was more competitive, beaten just over three lengths, although she did not finish it off. With no win from 13 starts, she profiles as a place hope rather than a winning focus. |

HACHIKIN
HIDEKI KAKUGAWA 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Put it together at Mombetsu two weeks ago, leading over 1000m and beating Chrome Boy by three lengths as the short odds-on favourite. That followed a solid second to Queen's Viola here, so the current preparation has built neatly. The step to 1200m is the query, but she is racing with purpose and sets a clear benchmark if she sees out the extra ground. |

PAREHO
NOZOMI ONO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Hiroshi Shono Returns after five weeks following a last placing at Sapporo Dirt, where she was well beaten by 21 lengths by Rin and never got into the race. Two back she was tailed off at Tokyo Dirt behind Moderate Gale, again at long odds. A class drop is the only real positive, and she needs a major turnaround to become competitive. |

REINE PESCA
MASATO KAWASHIMA 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 52.0KG Shintaro Yamada Back after five weeks since finishing 12th at Sapporo Dirt, beaten over 19 lengths by Rin after giving away a big start. Her previous eighth behind Rosophia was also well held at long odds, so the recent form is plain. The light weight and class drop are positives, but she still has to produce a much sharper finish to justify place claims. |
8 YUTA OGAWA |
|
| 9 | 42167 |
GRATIAE
JUNJI TANAKA 3YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Finished seventh at Mombetsu last start, beaten just over four lengths by Boules De Neige, which reads more competitively than the finishing position suggests. Her prior sixth behind Kiminonawa Oryo was only fair, but she is proven at this track and distance with one win and one place from seven attempts. That profile keeps her firmly in the winning discussion. |
9 GENTA OCHIAI |

LEVANTARSE
NOZOMI ONO 3YO BROWN COLT 57.0KG Lerver Co. Ltd. Lifted sharply at Mombetsu last start, finishing second to Eudaemonia and beaten two and a half lengths despite starting at long odds. That was a clear improvement on his previous last behind Peptide Eleanor over 1700m, where he failed to run on. He remains a maiden after nine starts, but the latest effort gives him a genuine minor-money platform. |

PINK SHAULA
KAZUHISA YAMADA 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Was unwanted in the market when ninth behind Riko Nick at Mombetsu last start, beaten nine lengths after conceding too much ground. The run prior was similar, finishing last behind Queen's Monaka at big odds. He has one win from 30 starts and a modest track-and-distance record, so others bring stronger current credentials. |
