Should be a keen tempo with all runners lining up for the first time. VALORINA (4) gets the nod in a race made up of debutants, chiefly because her profile balances a workable barrier, a strong rider booking and a family that has thrown multiple winners. Yamato Ishikawa's Mombetsu record is a genuine asset and she looks the most rounded of the newcomers. RYUNO ASHURA (1) is the danger from barrier 1, with a debut-winning half-sibling in Rikohime and other relatives who have gone on to win multiple races; the query is Masato Kawashima's quiet debut record. NANDE DERMA (5) is built more around stable strength, with Hiroto Kawashima's first-starter figures the best single yard pointer among the main hopes. LUMISPERITE (6) is also firmly in the mix through the Hideki Kakugawa-Masaaki Kuwamura combination and a South Surprise family with proven 1000m dirt winners. The top pair look the strongest winning profiles, with Nande Derma and Lumisperite capable of pressing them if their stable patterns hold up.

RYUNO ASHURA
MASATO KAWASHIMA 2YO CHESTNUT COLT 56.0KG Drawn in barrier 1 for his first start, this Firenze Fire colt has enough family depth to command respect. Half-sibling Rikohime won on debut over 800m at Kasamatsu, while Gold Leopard and Sandy Beach both became multiple winners. Masato Kawashima's debut record is modest, so the inside draw must help him use his education, but the profile is solid enough to make him a genuine winning player. |

MEN'S TAMA
Fuyuki Igarashi 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Starts from barrier 2 for Fuyuki Igarashi, whose first-starter record of 5 wins and 13 placings from 37 runners is respectable. Fuma Ono's strong local standing is another positive for a colt by To The World. Even so, he is assessed behind the leading debutants and will need to show above-average sharpness first time out. |

KATSUNO CHANCE
KUNIAKI SASAKI 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Gets barrier 3 and carries 54kg for Kuniaki Sasaki, with the Espoir City stable combination reading well at 7 wins and 15 placings from 38 starts. Half-sibling Katsuno Okan won on debut over 1000m at Mombetsu, which is a relevant pointer. The win profile of the yard's debut runners is lighter, so she needs to convert those hints into race-day performance. |

VALORINA
NOBORU YONEKAWA 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Begins her career from barrier 4 with Yamato Ishikawa aboard, and that is a significant early tick given his strong Mombetsu profile. She is by Curren Black Hill from Jono Advance, with a deep winning family headed by Pierce Tesoro, Moana Grace and Yuto The Face. Noboru Yonekawa's debut numbers are sound rather than dominant, but the rider booking and family depth put her at the top of the debutant ranks. |

NANDE DERMA
HIROTO KAWASHIMA 2YO DK B COLT 56.0KG Starts from a middle draw as a Bricks And Mortar colt from Elizabeth Tower and the clearest attraction is the Hiroto Kawashima debut record. The stable has produced 8 winners and 19 placegetters from 39 first-starters in this sample, a sharp profile for a 2yo 1000m debut. He still has to translate that into race pressure, but the yard pattern gives him a legitimate place case. |

LUMISPERITE
HIDEKI KAKUGAWA 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Comes from the leading Hideki Kakugawa stable and is paired with Masaaki Kuwamura, giving her one of the stronger stable-rider profiles among the newcomers. The South Surprise family has produced 1000m dirt winners Lucky Dan and Diamond Norm, while Garnet Norm was second on debut at Mombetsu over this trip. Barrier 6 leaves a little to be done, but she has the right grounding to run well. |
6 MASAAKI KUWAMURA |

STEL ARC
TSUYOSHI CHIBA 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Draws wider in barrier 7 and starts for Tsuyoshi Chiba, whose small first-starter sample shows 2 placings from 5 runners. The family has winning depth through Keika and Kashino Campione, both 10-time winners, and Komori Venus was fourth on debut at Mombetsu over 1100m. He has some background support, but others present a stronger winning profile. |
7 RYU ABE |

A SHIN PRIAM
TAKAHIRO MATSUMOTO 2YO BAY COLT 56.0KG Starts from barrier 8 for Takahiro Matsumoto, and the outside draw makes the first assignment a little more demanding. The A Shin Hikari stable combination is the main positive, with 10 wins and 20 placings from 32 starts, while full sibling A Shin Rossoneri won four races. His profile has substance, but he still sits behind the better-credentialed debutants. |
