Comments

Returns from a two-month freshening after finishing second last in a 3yo+ B1 at Kanazawa, beaten over 17 lengths by Passion Beat despite being near the top of betting. The run prior was even harder to recommend, last in a COND and beaten out of sight. Her track-and-trip record offers some historical support, but recent form demands a major turnaround.

Expected Settling Position: Off Pace

Bounced back to win a 3yo+ C1 here last start, tracking the leader before fighting past Callaghan Tesoro by just under a length as favourite. That was a clear improvement on her previous last behind Ka Noa Lady, when beaten just over nine lengths at long odds. She races handy enough to use barrier two, but this still asks for another lift.

Comments

Led them up and was run down late when last of seven behind Tangent Arc here, beaten just over four lengths after being well found in an open market. Two back he gave a much better sight when second to Ifritia, beaten a nose at long odds. The likely forward role helps his chance, but he must finish the race off more decisively.

Worked home evenly for third behind Le Serment D'Amour last start, beaten four and a half lengths, after winning here two runs back from Oden Opal as favourite. Her Kanazawa record is excellent, with three wins and two placings from five starts, and she has two wins at the distance. The form is solid enough to make her a major player again.

Returns from a four-month break after completing four straight wins at Kanazawa, the latest by just under a length over Alma Inanna as a dominant odds-on favourite. His previous 3yo+ C1 win over Purpurite was stronger, scoring by four lengths with plenty in hand. Four wins from four starts here is a compelling platform, provided he returns forward enough.

Scored in a 3yo+ C1 here last start, beating Girls' Heroine by two lengths after travelling strongly and keeping plenty in reserve. Before that she ran third to Ka Noa Lady, beaten just under three lengths after being unwanted in the market. The latest win reads well, but her modest win strike rate suggests she profiles more as a place chance.

Comments

Settled back and finished fifth behind Tangent Arc last start, beaten just under four lengths after starting at long odds. The previous third to Ifritia was better, beaten a length and a half after finishing strongly, but her overall strike rate is only fair. She needs to repeat the better run and find extra late pressure to threaten.

Started a dominant odds-on favourite here last start but finished sixth behind Tangent Arc, beaten just under four lengths, which is a clear mark against her. She had also finished sixth in a 3yo COND behind K's Komakusa, beaten just under five lengths. Her five wins from 14 starts and strong record with this jockey keep her in the place mix.

Caught the eye late when fourth to Tangent Arc here last start, beaten three lengths after having plenty of ground to make up. That was a much more encouraging effort than her previous seventh behind Miracolo Eclat, where she loomed but found little. If she holds that latest level, she has the finish to make this competitive.

Expected Settling Position: Midfield

Was in the right spot but offered little when second last behind Le Serment D'Amour last start, beaten over 12 lengths as an outside chance. The run prior was also plain, sixth in a 3yo+ B1 and beaten ten lengths by Amethyst Lord at long odds. Three track-and-trip wins are noted, but the recent form is well below what is required.

Comments

Resumed with a sound third behind Tangent Arc, beaten a length and a half after being unwanted in the market, so the run carried more merit than the price suggested. Her previous start produced a Kanazawa win over Let's Live On by a neck at long odds. With four wins and five placings from 14 rides for this jockey, she has genuine place claims.
