Sakura D'or should find the front with Luminous Flux and Louloudi on his heels. SAKURA D'OR (7) sets the standard after justifying prohibitive odds at Kanazawa last start, beating Ryuno Titan by a length and a half in 3yo A1 company. His record at the distance is the strongest piece of form in the race and he looks well placed again in C1 grade. HEIMLICH KAISER (5) has not fired at his past two, but the jockey record with Taiga Kurihara is a genuine pointer and his better figures keep him right in the contest. SHARK SHINY (8) revived sharply to beat Queen Of Road by a nose here as odds-on favourite, though the prior Ohi failure keeps some caution in the price. ADVANCE DREAM (9) is the most reliable place profile, with regular recent placings, but he has been finding one or two stronger and needs to turn consistency into a winning blow.

PEERAGE LADY
KOJI FUJITA 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Shadai Race Horse Co. Ltd. Finished third at Kanazawa last start but was tailed off behind Presto Barows and unwanted in the market, so the placing reads better on paper than it does in substance. The start prior she was fifth to Daphnis, beaten just over five lengths after settling rearward. A small track-and-distance place record and a familiar rider help only so much; she needs a much sharper performance to trouble these. |

LUMINOUS FLUX
KOJI FUJITA 7YO DK B GELDING 57.0KG Lion Race Horse Co. Ltd. Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing last at Saga, beaten over 18 lengths by Mikki Gentle after conceding a huge start and never entering the race. His previous fourth to G T Jin was more competitive when near the top of betting, and he is proven at 1400m with three wins and five places from 16 goes. Even so, the latest run leaves him with plenty to repair. |
2 SHOMA KATO |

LOULOUDI
HIROYUKI TAJIMA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Kazuyo Yoshino Held on for fourth here last start, beaten just under a length by Piena Paprika after being swamped late, and that is the right form line for a place chance. Two back she led before finishing fourth to Daphnis, beaten five lengths at generous odds. A Kanazawa 1400m win sits in the book and she can race handy, but she still has to finish the race off more cleanly to win. |

PINAKA
Hiromitsu Horiba 5YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Kazuo Yamada Worked home with some intent from an impossible spot last start, but the bare result was still fifth and beaten out of sight by Presto Barows. The run prior followed a similar pattern when fifth to Meisho Hyuga, beaten over 10 lengths after giving himself too much to do. His track-and-distance record is respectable, yet recent margins say he must find a bigger finish. |
4 SATOSHI YONEKURA |

HEIMLICH KAISER
SHIGERU SATO 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Was never a factor when ninth to Noel here last start, beaten six and a half lengths after conceding a huge start, and he had also been safely held behind Divertision two runs back. The case for improvement is tied to the setup: he has won this season, gets Taiga Kurihara back, and their record together is strong. If ridden within striking range, he can rebound sharply. |
5 TAIGA KURIHARA |

| 6 | 50986 |
PEDUNCLE ARCH
KAZUHIRO KATO 8YO CHESTNUT GELDING 57.0KG Tatsuo Tanikake Started a well-supported favourite at Kanazawa last start and finished sixth, beaten over 11 lengths by Rocket Body, with no obvious excuse supplied. That followed a second-last finish to Nagisano Balcony when the final effort was poor. His overall record is sound and he has placed four times from eleven at this course and distance, but current form is a clear concern. |
6 TATSUYA NAKAJIMA |

| 7 | 32271 |
SAKURA D'OR
MASAYUKI NAKAGAWA 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Sakura Commerce Co. Ltd. Justified prohibitive odds at Kanazawa last start, winning a 3yo A1 from Ryuno Titan by a length and a half and putting a poor Niigata Dirt run behind him. That earlier seventh as favourite came when he travelled in the right spot but offered little, so the return here was significant. With a perfect place record at 1400m and winning form at this track, he is the horse they have to beat. |
7 MASAYOSHI AOYAGI |

| 8 | 09091 |
SHARK SHINY
HIROYUKI TAJIMA 9YO CHESTNUT GELDING 57.0KG Lifted noticeably at Kanazawa last start, beating Queen Of Road by a nose as a prohibitive odds-on favourite after fighting on strongly late. The query is the run prior at Ohi in 3yo+ B3 grade, where he was unwanted in betting and beaten over 16 lengths by Singing Blues. Back in winning form here and proven at 1400m, the veteran remains a serious threat if he holds that level. |
8 AKIHIRO YOSHIDA |

| 9 | 24243 |
ADVANCE DREAM
HIROYUKI TAJIMA 7YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Norihide Kubota Ran third to Shelterbelt at Kanazawa last start, beaten six lengths at generous odds after settling rearward, and his recent form has been honest rather than dominant. The start prior was a solid fourth in 3yo+ C2 company behind Nobutomo when he made up ground from well back. His 11 placings from 19 starts in the past 12 months underline the pattern: reliable for minors, harder to sell as the winner. |

PIECE MATCHING
AKIHIRO KAWAZOE 8YO GREY GELDING 57.0KG Shadai Race Horse Co. Ltd. Failed to convert as odds-on favourite at Kanazawa last start, finishing fifth to Piena Paprika and beaten a length and a half after travelling close enough but only working home fairly. His previous third to Meisho Hyuga came at big odds and was six lengths away. With no wins from 20 starts at the distance, he needs to show more authority before being trusted. |

KAFUJI UVA
Atsushi Ikeda 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Mamoru Kato Returns from a three-month break after finishing fourth to Style Yourself at Kanazawa, beaten five lengths but doing his best work late from an unlikely position. The run prior was a heavy defeat behind Ifritia after giving away a big start. His two wins and one place from five starts at this track and distance keep him in the minor-money mix, though he may need the run to bring his best. |
