Memory Film should lead but there are a few other speedy types who can keep her honest. MORNING FUJI (5) sets the standard on the strength of her latest Kasamatsu second, where she was beaten a length and a half by Noah Black at generous odds. She had been well held prior, but her course-and-distance record and recent improvement give her the most convincing profile. WIN ALICE (9) is the clear danger after closing into second behind Wornitz over this trip, and her three wins and one placing from five starts at the track and distance make her a serious threat if she holds that form. CANTUTA (2) has been sound in stronger recent races, finishing third then fourth in 3yo+ B9C2 company, and brings proven 1400m Kasamatsu credentials. MEMORY FILM (4) rebounded to run second last start, though the five-length margin and plain effort two back temper the confidence. The top pair look the main winning hopes, with Cantuta and Memory Film more reliable for the multiples.

YUTO THE KIMPATSU
KYOICHI ITO 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG Yuto Nakagawa Returns from a three-month break after finishing second last in a 3yo+ C3 at Kasamatsu, beaten over 11 lengths by Puerta Azul after enjoying the right run and offering little. His previous third over 1580m behind Krauselung was better, and he has placed five times from six attempts at this track and distance, but 28 starts without a win leaves him needing a sharp fresh lift. |

CANTUTA
HIDEO MORIYAMA 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Hiroshi Yamabe Kept boxing on for third in a 3yo+ B9C2 here last start, beaten five lengths by Bellagio Channel after being an outside chance in the betting. She had also run fourth at long odds behind A Shin Taverna, so the recent form has substance without quite demanding a win. Three wins and two placings from twelve starts at this track and distance make her a sound place prospect. |

KITANO HIKOBOSHI
T TAGUCHI 5YO CHESTNUT HORSE 55.0KG Naoto Kitajo Was poised to improve at Kasamatsu last start over 1580m but offered little late and finished eighth, beaten seven and a half lengths by Cosmo Finesse. That followed a second-last placing behind Sembi Toryo, beaten over 12 lengths at long odds. The drop back in trip and past track-and-distance win help, but recent performances leave plenty to repair. |

MEMORY FILM
Michiya Araki 4YO BAY FILLY 55.0KG Mill Farm Co. Ltd. Rebounded to finish second in a 3yo+ COND at Kasamatsu, beaten five lengths by Great Genes after failing to quicken when asked. That was a clear improvement on her previous last behind Sembi Toryo, where she was beaten over 19 lengths. She can roll forward and has two wins plus eight placings from 23 runs at this track and distance, but the winning case still needs more polish. |

MORNING FUJI
YOSHIFUTO MIZUNO 8YO DK B MARE 55.0KG Went close here last start in a 3yo+ COND, finishing second to Noah Black and beaten a length and a half after working home evenly at generous odds. Her run prior was plain when last behind Hiogi, but she was unwanted there and has since produced the best recent result in this field. With three wins and 19 placings from 62 starts at the track and distance, she has the right profile to go one better. |

YAMANIN EIDOLON
HIROSHI SASANO 4YO GREY HORSE 57.0KG Hajime Doi Finished seventh in a 3yo+ B9C2 here last start, beaten just over nine lengths by Bellagio Channel, but he did make some late ground after getting a long way back. His previous fourth behind Noah Black was similar in shape and he again found the line from an impossible position. The leading jockey and trainer combination helps, though he needs to turn honest finishing into a result. |

KITANO EN CIEL
YOICHI KURIMOTO 4YO DK B FILLY 55.0KG Naoto Kitajo Finished second last in a 3yo+ C3 at Kasamatsu last start, beaten over 13 lengths by Wornitz after giving away a big start and never threatening. She had been beaten over 13 lengths the run prior behind Curren Iverson over 1580m. The class drop is some help, but recent margins and generous market prices point to a sizeable improvement task. |

KLINGLER
T TAGUCHI 5YO DK B MARE 55.0KG Disappointed as a well-fancied runner here last start, finishing seventh and beaten just over nine lengths by Cosmo Fleur after having the right run. The run prior was far stronger, winning a 3yo+ C6 by a length and a half from Momoiro Kataomoi. Three wins and three placings from 13 starts at this track and distance keep her in calculations, but she must bounce back quickly. |

WIN ALICE
MASAHARU FUJITA 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Win Co. Ltd. Lifted at Kasamatsu last start in a 3yo+ C3, finishing second to Wornitz and beaten two lengths after letting down nicely. She had been a sound market chance when fifth over 1580m behind Curren Iverson, but dropping back to 1400m looks more suitable on her record. Three wins and one placing from five starts at this track and distance make her one of the strongest winning hopes. |
