Bee Stunning to take charge ahead of Mikino History at a strong tempo. GABBY'S D'ETOILE (8) brings the strongest last-start reference, having broken through at Mizusawa over this trip by three lengths from Expectant. The sharp turnaround from a plain Chukyo Dirt run is the only point to keep in mind, but she is already a track-and-trip winner and sets the standard. LEON ANTHA (1) has finished second at Morioka Dirt at her past two, most recently beaten a neck by Happy Karn, and the inside draw gives her a genuine chance to convert consistency into a win. STORM EYE (5) was safely held by Schnee Dream here but has been competitive enough this campaign and has the rider-horse record to keep her in calculations. BEE STUNNING (6) was below her Morioka Dirt win last time, yet that four-length victory two back keeps her in the mix if she rebounds.

LEON ANTHA
TOSHIHIKO KOBAYASHI 3YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Hisao Sato Went within a neck of Happy Karn in a 3yo C2 over 1400m at Morioka Dirt last start, looming to win and fighting on strongly despite being only an outside chance in betting. She had also run second there two weeks earlier, albeit beaten four lengths by Kitanolesclefsd'Or. Still has a distance query as a winless mare at the trip, but her current form gives her a serious winning platform. |

NOBLE BROW
YOSHINORI ITAGAKI 3YO GREY FILLY 54.0KG Nobuhiko Yoshiki Worked home well when fifth as favourite at Mizusawa last start, beaten three and a half lengths by Laphetye, so the result was not as poor as the finishing position suggests. The run prior was a neat 3yo C2 win over 1200m at Morioka Dirt, beating Matsurida Sirius by a length and a half. Unplaced at her only try at this distance, but she has the profile of a sound minor-money chance. |

MIKINO HISTORY
YUKICHI SUGAWARA 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Hisakazu Taniguchi Dropped right out when second last at Mizusawa two weeks ago, beaten over 11 lengths by Laphetye after offering little in the closing stages. Her previous fourth at Morioka Dirt was fair without threatening, beaten four and a half lengths by Vento Di Luna. The class drop is some help, but she needs to find a much stronger finish to trouble the better chances. |

VAINQUEUR KNIGHT
KAZUMUNE ITO 3YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Picked up third at Mizusawa last start, but was beaten seven lengths by Schnee Dream and was unwanted in the market, so that placing needs context. Two back he was second last at Morioka Dirt, beaten over 12 lengths by Happy Karn, after having too much ground to make up. His 1400m record is a small positive, but recent margins leave him with work to do. |

STORM EYE
KOJI SAKURADA 3YO GREY FILLY 54.0KG Speed Farm Co. Ltd. Finished second to Schnee Dream at Mizusawa last start, beaten five lengths after being close enough but unable to quicken when required. She was sixth behind Happy Karn at Morioka Dirt two back, beaten just over four lengths, and had also recently been beaten by Leon Antha. Her record with Shinobu Murakami is solid, so she remains a winning hope if she produces a sharper final 200m. |

BEE STUNNING
KOJI SAKURADA 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Yoshiaki Baba Led and weakened late when seventh at Mizusawa last start, beaten just under five lengths by Laphetye after being near the top of betting. That followed a dominant 3yo C2 win at Morioka Dirt where she led and beat Vip Bullet by four lengths. She has the natural speed to make her own luck, but must show the latest run was only a temporary dip. |

UNCHAIN
KOICHI SATO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Kozo Ishise Returns from a five-week freshening after finishing seventh at Morioka Dirt, beaten over 11 lengths by Vento Di Luna when giving away a big start and never getting involved. She had also lacked a change of gears when eighth there behind King Spade. Still a maiden after seven starts and unplaced in three goes at this trip, but her past placings keep her in the place mix only. |

GABBY'S D'ETOILE
MASAHIKO SATO 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Kazuhiko Nagashima Broke through in the right style at Mizusawa last start, winning a 3yo C2 over 1400m by three lengths from Expectant after being prominent in an open market. That was a sharp improvement on her 14th over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt when big odds and never a factor. Already a winner here and at the distance, she has the clearest form case if she repeats that latest performance. |

BRISE PRIMAVERA
KUDOU YUUKOU 3YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Field Racing Made some late ground into fourth at Mizusawa last start, but the margin was still ten lengths behind Schnee Dream and she carried 50kg that day. Her previous sixth at Morioka Dirt was fair from well back without ever looking a threat, and she was unwanted in betting. Unplaced in five runs at this track and distance, so she needs a sizeable turnaround. |

MISS MELISSA
KOJI SEKIMOTO 3YO BAY FILLY 52.0KG Made ground late when fifth at Mizusawa last start, but was still beaten over 10 lengths by Schnee Dream and started at big odds. Two back she was ninth at Morioka Dirt, beaten just under ten lengths by Happy Karn after settling rearward and making no impact. Still winless from 24 starts, and the light weight is not enough to offset the form gap. |
