|---|---|---|---|---|

Expecting a strong tempo from the youngsters. FLIGHT DOCTOR (5) sets the benchmark on exposed form, unbeaten in two starts at Urawa and dominant when heavily supported into very short odds-on territory last time, beating In Charge by three lengths. She also beat Kansallis by five lengths on debut, so the form ties in strongly across this field. YUYU CALVADOS (10) is the main danger after improving sharply second-up, finishing second to Cosmo Tiamo over this course and giving the impression there is more to come third-up. WILD ULURU (2) resumes after winning on debut here over 800m, beating Ken Rapide by a head, and the stable-and-rider profile keeps her right in the race despite the rise in trip. SUMOMO SANJO (4) is the most credible place-to-win improver, having worked home evenly for third behind Cosmo Tiamo and now arriving with two runs behind her. Flight Doctor has the clearest winning form, but Yuyu Calvados and Wild Uluru have enough upside to test her if they improve again.

KANSALLIS
HIRONORI UNOKI 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a four-month break after a debut second at Urawa over 800m, where she led narrowly into the straight before Flight Doctor claimed her and drew five lengths clear. She was near the top of betting there, so some market respect was evident, but the rise to 1400m is a genuine query and that same rival has since enhanced the gap between them. She needs clear improvement to turn the tables. |

WILD ULURU
SATOSHI KOKUBO 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Resumes after a five-month break following a debut win at Urawa over 800m, driving hard late to beat Ken Rapide by a head. She was near the top of betting, has the winning rider back and represents a stable with strong local standing. The rise to 1400m is the obvious unknown, but one start for one win at this track gives her a sound platform to return as a major player. |

SASSHI YU
NAOTO MIZUKAMI 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a three-month break after finishing last behind Loose Aggressive at Urawa, where she had a lot of ground to make up and was not up to the task at big odds. Her debut third behind Flight Doctor was better on paper, but she was still beaten seven and a half lengths in a small field. The class drop helps only mildly; she must show a sharper finish before being trusted. |

SUMOMO SANJO
SHINJI KOBAYASHI 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Back after two months since working home evenly for third at Urawa, beaten three lengths by Cosmo Tiamo when an outside chance in betting. Her debut sixth behind Young Warrior was better than the margin suggests, as she picked up to the line after holding position to the turn. Third-up and race fit, she looks the type to run honestly again, with a place finish the more realistic target. |

FLIGHT DOCTOR
SATOSHI KOKUBO 2YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Back after two months since maintaining her unbeaten record at Urawa, winning by three lengths from In Charge after being heavily supported into very short odds-on territory. Her debut was just as clear, beating Kansallis by five lengths as an odds-on favourite. She has led or sat right on terms in both wins and keeps finding. On exposed form, she is the runner they all have to reach. |

YUYU CERVEZA
SHINSUKE KUDO 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Back after two months following a third to Flight Doctor at Urawa, beaten four lengths after just being run down late at big odds. That was a lift on her previous sixth behind Loose Aggressive, where she conceded a huge start and was never in the race. She has placed twice from four starts here and the distance suits, but the winning gap to the better fillies remains significant. |

IN CHARGE
TOMOYUKI FUJIHARA 2YO CHESTNUT FILLY 54.0KG Comes off a fifth at Kawasaki, beaten over 12 lengths by Gold Monaco after being only fair to the line as an outside chance in betting. Her previous second to Flight Doctor at Urawa was stronger, beaten three lengths after settling rearward, and she has placed at this distance. The distance query remains, but her better local run keeps her in the minor-money mix. |

BLIZZARD CAT
SHINOBU HASEGAWA 2YO BAY FILLY 54.0KG Returns from a four-month break after winning at Urawa, looming up and fighting hard to beat Way Ahead by just under a length. That was a clear step forward from her debut fourth behind Wild Uluru, when she was unwanted in the market and could not go on late. She has a win from two starts and handles this track, though the earlier defeat to Wild Uluru keeps her more in the place bracket. |
8 RETSU OIKAWA |

LAGOON QUEEN
MORIO KAWAMURA 2YO DK B FILLY 54.0KG Back after two months since finishing a distant last behind Recolte Man at Urawa, giving very little in the run home at generous odds. Her debut third behind Wild Uluru was sounder, beaten just over three lengths after leading to the turn, but she was unplaced at this distance last start. The class drop is a small help, yet recent evidence leaves her with plenty to repair. |

YUYU CALVADOS
TAMOTSU YOKOYAMA 2YO BROWN FILLY 53.0KG Back after two months following a second to Cosmo Tiamo at Urawa, beaten two and a half lengths after being well in front before being comfortably accounted for late. She had been fifth on debut behind Seven Sword over 800m, but that experience clearly brought her on. Third-up, with Haruto Nakayama retaining the ride and 53kg, she has the right profile to press the favourite. |
