Should be a keen tempo with all runners lining up for the first time. ATHANASIA (1) gets the nod in a 1400m Kawasaki two-year-old contest where debut profiles carry the race. She has the inside barrier, Tsubasa Sasagawa booked, and Sakai Shinobu has a strong debut record with 3 wins and 5 placings from 9 starters. LEGENDE BIJOUX (2) is an obvious danger from barrier 2, with Naoki Machida riding and Yuya Yamazaki placing with 14 of 19 debut runners. DAINO EIKO (4) brings the strongest jockey angle through Ryo Novata, the leading track rider, while his family has produced winners around this distance range. GANAR IROHA (5) has a sharp trainer debut strike rate and profiles as a sound top-three hope. AYUTTHAYA (6) also has place appeal with Hiroyuki Mogi placing 4 of 7 debut runners.

ATHANASIA
Sakai Shinobu 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Draws barrier 1 for her first start and has several points in her favour for a 1400m debut at Kawasaki. Sakai Shinobu has a sound debut record, winning with 3 of 9 and placing with 5, while the Gold Ribbon family includes Sand Falcon, a 13-time winner who scored on debut over 1400m at Ohi. With Tsubasa Sasagawa aboard and the inside draw, she makes clear winning appeal. |

LEGENDE BIJOUX
YUYA YAMAZAKI 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Steps out for Yuya Yamazaki, whose debut record reads strongly with 6 wins and 14 placings from 19 starters. The Majestic Warrior filly also has Naoki Machida, a leading Kawasaki rider, from barrier 2, so her set-up is clean for this 1400m assignment. The trainer and sire combination has also produced 12 placings from 36 starters, keeping her right among the main chances. |

BEAR BLAZE
YOSHIHISA SUZUKI 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Has a useful family pointer through Kiichi Helios, who won on debut over 1400m at Kawasaki and is listed as a same-trainer sibling, but the broader debut numbers ask for caution. Yoshihisa Suzuki is a leading track trainer, yet his recent debut record shows 1 win from 20, and the Smart Falcon combination is winless from 18. She needs to outperform those indicators. |

DAINO EIKO
TERUKAZU IMAI 2YO DK B COLT 54.0KG Gets a positive riding engagement with Ryo Novata, who is listed as both a leading jockey and strong track jockey, from barrier 4 on debut. The dam Eclair Or has produced Taisei Gust, an 11-time winner, along with By Myself and Juppiter as winners, so there is some depth in the family. The trainer debut sample is small and quiet, but the rider and pedigree keep him high in calculations. |

GANAR IROHA
SEIICHI KATO 2YO CHESTNUT COLT 54.0KG Comes from a Seiichi Kato stable with an excellent debut strike rate, showing 5 wins from 9 first starters, and that is the strongest part of his profile. The Best Warrior colt is out of Palace Medaglia, whose progeny include Ino De Garcon, a five-time winner, and several debut performers placed or close over sprint to mile trips. The trainer-sire record is quieter, so he shapes more as a solid place contender. |

AYUTTHAYA
Hiroyuki Mogi 2YO CHESTNUT COLT 54.0KG Begins from barrier 6 for Hiroyuki Mogi, whose debut runners have placed 4 times from 7 starts, a useful pointer for a first starter in this company. The Aster family has produced Heuresis and Silenzio as multiple winners, and the sibling distance range extends from 1400m to 2000m. He has enough grounding on paper to be competitive for minor money. |
6 KOSUKE SAKURAI |

BIERE BLANCHE
Satoru Furusawa 2YO GREY FILLY 54.0KG Starts from the outside barrier and comes through a Satoru Furusawa debut profile of no wins and 1 placing from 4 starters. The family has produced winners in Metcha Hattori and O V Shine, but their debut references were over shorter trips than this 1400m Kawasaki test. She can improve with experience, though others bring stronger first-start credentials. |
