Reasonable tempo with a few going forward, headed by Meteor Julia. EARTH J SONTE (6) sets the standard despite a mixed recent profile. His sixth over 1200m at Mombetsu had merit because he was beaten just over three lengths after making late ground from an impossible spot, and the return to a suitable distance gives him the clearest winning platform. COOL MAISON (8) is the main danger, having run third to Axis two back before a fifth behind Muscle Chummy when near the top of an open market, though the distance remains the question. TAKESHO KAISER (3) brings a sharper latest figure after finishing third behind Boules De Neige at big odds and notably beating Earth J Sonte home there, but he must prove the rise in trip is within range. SUMMER BRIDE (1) is the reliable place option after a Mombetsu second behind Muscle Chummy, with the query being whether she can turn consistent minor form into a winning performance at 1500m.

SUMMER BRIDE
KUNIO HIMORI 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Yo Mitsuoka Worked home evenly for second behind Muscle Chummy in a 3yo+ C4 at Mombetsu last start, albeit beaten five lengths after being unwanted in the market. The start prior she was seventh behind Axis, beaten eight and a half lengths, so the latest effort was a clear improvement. She split recent meetings with Cool Maison and has placed with Shoma Kanayama, but the 1500m remains a query. |

ALMA LOBEIRA
HIROAKI SAKURAI 8YO GREY MARE 55.0KG Koutomic Racing Was second last behind Muscle Chummy at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 11 lengths at big odds, and the run offered no obvious excuse. Her previous fifth behind Axis was more competitive when beaten three and a half lengths, but she was again a big price. The class drop is some help for an older mare with two career wins, yet recent evidence says she must lift sharply. |

TAKESHO KAISER
KUNIAKI SASAKI 3YO GREY COLT 56.0KG U.Naitoshoji Got busy late to finish third behind Boules De Neige over 1200m at Mombetsu last start, beaten just over two lengths despite starting at big odds. That was a marked lift after he was second last behind Sakura Piacere two back, beaten over 12 lengths. The extra distance is the clear test, but he beat Earth J Sonte home last time and has a genuine place profile if he repeats it. |

SOFIA PLUMA
NOZOMI ONO 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Yukio Mizukami Back after one month following an eighth behind Cardamom in a 3yo Maiden over 1800m at Niigata Dirt, beaten over 10 lengths after being unwanted in the market. She had also been beaten over 11 lengths behind Wild Mule six days earlier and has yet to place from eight starts. Coming back in trip does not solve enough on exposed form, so she needs a major lift. |
4 FUMA ONO |

METEOR JULIA
KUNIO HIMORI 4YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Finished a distant last behind Kitano Sirius over 1200m at Mombetsu last start after coming under pressure late, and she had also dropped out after leading when last behind Riko Nick two back. That makes the recent form hard to trust. Her 1500m record is stronger from a placing viewpoint, with five placings from 11 tries, but she profiles as a place hope only if she rebounds quickly. |

EARTH J SONTE
TAMAKAZU OKAJIMA 6YO BROWN HORSE 57.0KG Masuo Matsuyama Closed strongly from a hopeless spot when sixth behind Boules De Neige over 1200m at Mombetsu last start, beaten just over three lengths at long odds. The 1700m run prior was much flatter when second last behind Peptide Eleanor, but his overall setup is better now with a return to a suitable distance and Shinya Matsui aboard after one win from two rides. He looks the runner to beat if within range late. |
6 SHINYA MATSUI |

ENERGY ISSEI
Fuyuki Igarashi 3YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Masaji Kitagawa Went backwards after travelling just off the leaders when second last behind Night Sailing over 1700m at Mombetsu last start, beaten over 19 lengths and unwanted in the market. The run prior was little better, finishing second last behind Riko Nick over 1200m. Dropping back in trip may alter the setup, but she remains unplaced from six starts and others bring stronger claims. |
7 RYU ABE |

COOL MAISON
JUNJI TANAKA 4YO CHESTNUT FILLY 55.0KG Yutaka Kukita Kept working when fifth behind Muscle Chummy at Mombetsu last start, beaten eight and a half lengths after sitting near the top of an open market. Her third behind Axis two starts ago reads better, beaten just under two lengths at generous odds, and she has placed at this track and distance. The distance query is real, but her best recent run makes her a serious winning chance. |

YAMANIN CANALETTO
MASATO KAWASHIMA 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Settled rearward and finished eighth behind Sakura Stream over 1200m at Mombetsu last start, beaten just under seven lengths at big odds. He had been fifth behind Banana Ball the run prior, beaten three and a half lengths, which was a more competitive effort. Yamato Ishikawa has won on him before, but the first try at this longer trip makes him a conditional each-way runner rather than a core hope. |
