Lillian First and B B Laughter are both expected to press forward and take it up. B B LAUGHTER (2) gets top billing despite coming off a fifth as a well-supported favourite over 1400m at Kasamatsu, because he caught the eye late and now presents as a better suited runner at 1580m if he can turn that finish into a more complete performance. RARIA (6) has the more recent placing, finishing third behind Lovushka, and her previous effort was better than the starting price suggested; she also holds a recent head-to-head edge over Nihonpiro Vesper. NIHONPIRO VESPER (9) has a strong Kasamatsu profile with one win and seven places from 14 starts here, and her narrow second to Bravo Kirishima two back reads well, but the latest fifth left a query at the longer trip. CARTHUSIAN (5) is the reliable place-style danger, with a win and two places from six starts at this track and distance, though she must sharpen off two safely held runs.

SPRING COME
YOICHI KURIMOTO 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Shinichiro Nishimura Finished sixth behind All My Time at Kasamatsu last start in a 3yo+ C6, beaten over 13 lengths after having the job ahead and making no real headway. The start prior was similar, again sixth and beaten over 12 lengths behind Cosmo Finesse. A class drop offers some relief, but she is unplaced in all five runs at this track and distance and needs a major turnaround. |

B B LAUGHTER
YUKIYASU KATO 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Returns from a one-month freshening after finishing fifth behind Bravo Kirishima over 1400m at Kasamatsu, beaten four and a half lengths as a well-supported favourite but catching the eye late. He had worked home fairly when fourth behind Chuwa Ascot two back. The rise to 1580m is the question, yet his closing pattern and market respect keep him right in the race. |

LILLIAN FIRST
ENOKIYA MITSURU 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Ken Ito Dropped out to seventh behind Sammaru Reve at Nagoya last start, beaten over 12 lengths in a 3yo+ C5 after coming under pressure late. That was a clear step backwards from her previous Nagoya win, where she drove hard to beat Haru Note by a neck as favourite. The winning rider returns and she has placed well with him, but this looks more a place test than a winning declaration. |
3 HOSOKAWA SATOSHI |

PURE KISHO
YOICHI KURIMOTO 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Kiyohide Hasegawa Settled rearward and made no impression when seventh behind Lovushka at Kasamatsu last start, beaten over 11 lengths and unwanted in the market. His previous fourth behind All My Time was more competitive without threatening. He is a track-and-trip winner and reunites with a rider who knows him, but recent output says he needs to find several lengths. |
4 KEN TAKAGI |

CARTHUSIAN
HIROYOSHI KAWASHIMA 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG U.Kimura B. Was fair to the line when fourth behind Good Romance at Kasamatsu last start, beaten seven and a half lengths in a 3yo+ C4 after starting near the top of betting. She had been favourite when sixth behind Curren Iverson the run prior and again failed to finish it off. Her one win and two places from six track-and-distance runs keep her relevant for minor money. |
5 ISSHIN MATSUMOTO |

RARIA
HIDEO MORIYAMA 5YO DK B MARE 55.0KG Akihiro Nakamura Lifted into third behind Lovushka over 1400m at Kasamatsu last start, beaten just over five lengths after lacking the turn of foot to seriously threaten. Her previous fifth behind Ric Noir was better than it reads after making ground from a difficult spot at big odds. She beat Nihonpiro Vesper here two weeks ago, and that recent matchup makes her a genuine winning player if the extra distance suits. |
6 SHIGEHARU MABUCHI |

HOKUSEN KING O
MASAYOSHI GOTO 6YO CHESTNUT GELDING 57.0KG Finished last behind Good Romance at Kasamatsu last start, beaten over 17 lengths after giving away a big start and never getting involved. He was also safely held when sixth behind Noah Black at 1400m the start prior. Previous wins with this jockey are some background, but the recent margins are too wide to ignore and others bring far stronger claims. |
7 SHIN HIGASHIKAWA |

KRICHASHCHII
YOSHINAGA OHASHI 4YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Was never a factor when last behind Cosmo Fleur over 1400m at Kasamatsu last start, beaten over 16 lengths at long odds. The positive is his prior win at the same venue, where he led and beat Shibano Ten Ten by two lengths. His last-12-month record is respectable, but the rise in trip and sharp latest failure make him an each-way chance only if he rebounds. |

NIHONPIRO VESPER
HIROYOSHI KAWASHIMA 4YO BROWN FILLY 55.0KG Could not finish off when fifth behind Lovushka at Kasamatsu last start, beaten just under seven lengths after being near the top of an open market. Her previous second to Bravo Kirishima was much stronger, beaten only a neck after looming and fighting hard. With one win and seven places from 14 runs here, she has the track profile to bounce back, though 1580m is still to be proven. |
9 SEIGO TSUKAMOTO |
|
| 10 | 68855 |
SABUNO FUKUMUSUME
YOSHIFUTO MIZUNO 5YO BROWN MARE 52.0KG Worked fairly to the line when fifth behind Good Romance at Kasamatsu last start, beaten seven and a half lengths in a 3yo+ C4 at big odds. She had filled the same position behind Miraculum the run prior, again without threatening. The light 52kg and track-and-trip background give her some place appeal, but she needs more than an honest finish to win this. |
