Solid tempo anticipated with Or Du Souverain leading the way. OR DU SOUVERAIN (1) looks the right starting point after a strong recent run of form at Kochi, with a last-start second to Debug following a narrow win over Elegant Wink. His record here is the key advantage and he brings the most reliable profile among the main chances. AL HAYL FORT (5) is the clear danger, having placed at his past two after winning earlier in the campaign, and he has been respected in betting at both recent runs. LA TOILE (2) needs to rebound from a plain seventh to Logan Pass, but her previous third to Super Kitty and broader placing record keep her in the mix for minor honours. HIT THE GROUND (8) is harder to trust after being beaten a long way last start, yet her prior Kokura run in 3yo+ ALLOW grade gives some context if she can sharply improve back at this level.

OR DU SOUVERAIN
JOJI TANAKA 5YO BAY GELDING 57.0KG Sunday Racing Co. Ltd. Placed second to Debug in 3yo+ C3 company here last start, beaten four lengths after tracking the speed and working home evenly. That followed a narrow win over Elegant Wink as an odds-on favourite, so the recent profile is sound. Barrier one suits a runner who can roll forward, and with three wins and one place from five Kochi starts, he has the right credentials to take serious beating. |

LA TOILE
S BEPPU 6YO DK B MARE 55.0KG Finished seventh to Logan Pass here last start, beaten just under nine lengths at generous odds and only fair through the line. The run prior was better, closing evenly for third to Super Kitty over 1600m when unwanted in the market. Her overall place record is respectable, but the distance query remains and she profiles as a place hope rather than a strong winning play. |

O'KANE
TETSUYA NAGASE 6YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Returns from a two-month break after finishing seventh to Super Kitty over 1600m here, beaten over 14 lengths when unwanted in the market. His previous ninth to Nitto Raijin was no better, again beaten over 14 lengths. Two wins and five places from 34 starts at the track and distance are some consolation, but recent form says he needs a substantial lift. |
3 NAOKI KIMURA |

FLINTLOCK
TOMOHARU EBESUMOTO 6YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Dearest Was second last to Logan Pass here last start, well beaten after coming under pressure late and unwanted in the market. She had also finished second last to Baby Boss over 1600m the run before, giving further ground in a weak finish at big odds. Past track-and-distance placings offer only minor context, because her current form leaves a lot to turn around. |
4 MEGUMI JONO |

AL HAYL FORT
HIROKAZU MIYAGAWA 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Sunday Racing Co. Ltd. Comes through consistent Kochi form, most recently second to Kaiser Blitz in 3yo+ C3 company when beaten four lengths and near the top of betting. He was also third to Baby Boss over 1600m two back, beaten just under four lengths in another well-respected market run. With one win and two places from three starts here, he has a genuine winning case in this line-up. |
5 EITA INOUE |

CHAMPION RIBBON
HIROKI NISHIYAMA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Wahei Tsubonoya Finished tenth to Logan Pass here last start, beaten over 14 lengths after settling a long way back and making no impression at big odds. There was more to like two runs ago when fifth to Baby Boss over 1600m, closing the margin to eight and a half lengths after having plenty to do. The class set-up helps, but she must reproduce the better of those two efforts to reach the placings. |
6 SHINJI HATANAKA |

| 7 | 51004 |
TIGER WAGON
TERUYUKI KUNISAWA 4YO CHESTNUT HORSE 54.0KG Ran fourth to Debug in 3yo+ C3 company here last start, but the beaten margin was just over nine lengths after he was right there and could not go on. His previous run was a heavy defeat in 3yo+ COND grade when he led and dropped out. He has no wins from eight starts at this track and distance, so the finishing effort has to improve markedly. |
7 NAOYUKI TSUKAMOTO |
|
| 8 | 8x600 |
HIT THE GROUND
S BEPPU 4YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Bando B. Was last to Logan Pass here last start, beaten a long way after being near the top of an open market and offering no clear excuse. Before that she finished 12th to Pierced Ears at Kokura in 3yo+ ALLOW grade, beaten six and a half lengths after being unwanted in betting. The class angle gives her a route to improve, but she is hard to trust beyond a minor placing until she shows more. |
8 SEIYA TATARA |
|
| 9 | 96576 |
DAISHINGEKI
YOICHI MIYAJI 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Finished sixth to Logan Pass here last start, beaten just under nine lengths at big odds after conceding a huge start and only making limited late ground. Two back she was seventh to Mozu Rickey over 1600m, beaten over 13 lengths when unwanted in the market. Unplaced from six starts at this track and distance, she needs more than a small improvement. |
