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

Genuine tempo with the speedy Scuba leading the way. RELISH (1) looks the most reliable of the main chances after finishing fourth at Kochi, beaten just over two lengths by Night Of Bund, and that followed a solid second in 3yo+ COND company at Saga. The distance remains the query, but she has placed twice from five attempts at it and brings the strongest recent profile. AIMEE VIBERT (4) is harder to assess because the latest margin was heavy, yet he did make some late ground and now reaches the right stage of the campaign with a class drop in his favour. MOTO SAN (5) has the clearest last-start result, finishing third behind Night Of Bund and beating Relish home, so he must be treated as a genuine danger. ELIGIBLE (2) has been plain lately, but his two wins from six starts at the distance keep him in the discussion if he can lift sharply back at Kochi.

RELISH
S BEPPU 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Mr.horse Worked home soundly when fourth at Kochi last start, beaten just over two lengths by Night Of Bund after being near the top of an open market. That followed a second in 3yo+ COND company at Saga, where she was beaten three lengths by Rommet at generous odds. The 1400m still asks a question, but she has placed twice from five tries at the trip and her recent form is strong enough to give this a real shake. |

ELIGIBLE
JOJI TANAKA 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Turf Sport Co. Ltd. Had his chance at Kochi last start but found little, finishing sixth behind Night Of Bund and beaten just over eight lengths at long odds. He had also finished well held here behind Ask Duramente the run prior, so the recent form reads plainly. Two wins from six starts at 1400m give him some grounding at the trip, but he needs a sharper response to turn that into a serious result. |

SMILE
TOMOHARU EBESUMOTO 10YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Tatsue Ishikawa Finished last at Kochi last start, beaten over 20 lengths by Night Of Bund after conceding a huge start and never getting into the race. The run before was no better, with a tailed-off second-last behind Dixie Vogue at big odds. He is unplaced in 25 starts across the past 12 months, so even with some class relief he has a major form turnaround to find. |
3 NAOKI KIMURA |

AIMEE VIBERT
JOJI TANAKA 7YO GREY HORSE 57.0KG Lion Race Horse Co. Ltd. Made some late ground from a hopeless position at Kochi last start, but the bare result was still a sixth behind Precious Meno and beaten a long way. His previous run was a seventh behind Dixie Vogue, beaten just over nine lengths after failing to quicken. Now third-up and aided by a class drop, he has the profile to improve, though he must produce far more sustained pressure this time. |
4 MEGUMI JONO |

MOTO SAN
MITOSHI HIGASHIHARA 6YO BAY HORSE 56.0KG Produced the right run at Kochi last start, finishing third behind Night Of Bund and beaten just under two lengths after travelling close enough and fighting on. He had been fourth here behind Frosty Quartz the start before, beaten two lengths, so the recent pattern is consistent. He also had Relish covered in that latest meeting, which gives him a solid comparative case if he repeats the effort. |
5 KONDO SHOGETSU |

CHERBOURG RAIN
Ureshi Katsunori 5YO BAY MARE 55.0KG Teruya Yoshida Settled back and made no impression when second last at Kochi, beaten over 19 lengths by Night Of Bund as one of the outsiders. She had also been ninth here behind Ask Duramente and well beaten at long odds. Still a maiden after 32 starts and unplaced in four runs at this track and distance, she needs a considerable form reversal. |
6 SHOJI NISHIMORI |
|
| 7 | 90908 |
AKIYAN
TADAYOSHI HOSOKAWA 4YO BAY HORSE 57.0KG Finished a distant last behind Precious Meno at Kochi last start after conceding a huge start and never taking part. The run prior was another heavy defeat behind Dixie Vogue, when tenth and unwanted in the market. He has placed three times from 15 attempts at this track and distance, but current form is too far below the required level. |
7 SHINJI HATANAKA |
|
| 8 | 11263 |
TANI NOBLE
S BEPPU 3YO BAY COLT 57.0KG Closed strongly for third in 3yo COND grade at Kochi last start, beaten four and a half lengths by V Beam after being near the top of betting. He had earlier picked up in the straight over 1900m when sixth behind Katsutenai Oishisa at big odds. Four wins and four places from 13 starts is a strong base, and his Kochi 1400m record keeps him a genuine place contender. |
8 YUTA GOMA |

KEIBEE
MAI MIYAGAWA 3YO BROWN COLT 57.0KG Katsuki Kuwano Returns after two months following a plain Sapporo Dirt run, where he was second last in a 3yo Maiden over 1000m and beaten over 18 lengths by Suivre after settling back. He had also been well held at Fukushima over 1200m behind Gold Parade. The class drop helps, but he is still winless from 13 starts and rises to 1400m, so improvement is essential. |
9 H YOSHIHARA |
|
| 10 | 43372 |
SCUBA
DAISAKU MEKUSA 6YO CHESTNUT HORSE 57.0KG G1 Racing Co. Ltd. Ran second at Kochi last start, beaten six lengths by Keiai Shelby after looking to have a clear margin but failing to sustain it. That was a better showing than his previous seventh behind Ask Duramente, when well beaten by 22 lengths. His overall record of three wins and ten places from 24 starts is sound, and if he rolls forward cleanly he can hold a placing again. |
