Races ORM Funabashi - JAP

Recent efforts have been well held at big odds. Gets weight relief, but the 1500m record is a clear concern.

Back after five weeks following a sharp debut win at this track and distance. Proven at the trip and looks a major winning threat.

Well beaten by Maple Ship last start and has yet to win in seven starts. The 1500m record offers little comfort.

Last-start Urawa winner as favourite and still lightly raced. Has upside, with the 1500m record the only real query.

Progressing through the campaign and placed last start at Urawa. Track win and stable strength give her place appeal.

Resumes after three months off with Open-grade form in the book. Stable profile is strong and she can run well fresh.

Has a track win, but recent margins have been heavy and the track-and-distance record is poor.

Back after five weeks with strong 1200m form at this track. First go around 1500m is the test, but he has place claims.

Freshened since a close second at this track. Consistent overall record and a 1500m placing make her a sound place hope.

Third-up and a track winner, but both runs this campaign have been well below the level required.

Fourth behind Maple Ship last start was fair, but he remains a maiden and must find a stronger closing burst.

Back after six months, but won his only start at this track and distance. Respect for the multiples.

Freshened since a dominant debut win at this track. The 1500m is new, but she looked well above average and is the one to beat.

Second as an odds-on favourite last start, but only battled on. Place form is there, winning appeal is limited.
