Season
Fujinomori Stakes – Form Comments
| Arret | 4 wins over 1000m and 1200m from 32 starts. Snapped his 3-year winless streak when taking a middle-class allowance race (1000m) at Kokura in August. One-paced 4th in an upper-class allowance race at Nakayama last month. Can sit handy or races close to the speed. No ground concern. |
| Aster Swing | 4 wins from 17 career starts. 3 wins over the distance. Won 2 of his 4 recent starts, a lower-class allowance race at Hanshin in June and a middle-class allowance race at Niigata in July. Ran well when 3rd in an upper-class allowance race at Nakayama latest on 9 September. Usually sits handy. No track worries. |
| Copano Kicking | 3yo gelding with potential to develop into a high-class dirt sprinter. 3 wins from 5 outings including a maiden win over the course and distance in February. Notched two more wins from 1000m allowance race, both at Sapporo, in August. Contested for lead but faded late when finished 4th in an upper-class allowance race (1400m) at Hanshin on 22 September latest. Can lead or sit handy. No issues ground-wise. |
| G Plumeria | 4 wins from 21 starts. Has not won since taking an upper-class allowance race at Hanshin last March. Ran three seconds and a third from 5 starts this term, including a decent 2nd latest in a 1200m upper-class handicap at Niigata in August. Can lead or sit handy. No track concern. |
| Kanetoshi Vivace | 4 wins over 1200m and 1400m from 37 outings. Last won in January 2016.

| Meisho Tsurezure | 4 wins from 17 starts, all over 1200m. Winless in 12 starts since last winning at the course and distance in May, 2014. Fair performances in both starts this term, including a half-length 4th in an upper-class allowance race at Hanshin in March. Races close to the speed. No ground worries. |
| Night Fox | 3 wins from 31 starts. Wins over 1200m and 1600m but all on turf. Shifted to dirt racing since last September but never a factor in 5 starts over the surface, latest when 12th in an upper-class allowance race at Tokyo last Sunday. Tactically versatile. No ground issues. |
| Peisha Luas | Never tested on dirt surface. Won twice on turf, the latest being the Listed Canna Stakes (1200m) at Nakayama last September. Winless in 6 starts since, including 14th in a 1200m upper-class handicap at Nakayama on 22 September latest. Races from midfield. Tested only on firm and good. |

| Smart Rachel | 4 wins from 15 outings. Shared lead and broke clear from the field to take a 1150m middle-class allowance race two back at Fukushima in July. Failed to reproduce that performance when 10th in a 1400m upper-class allowance race at Hanshin in September. Can lead or track handy. Handles all ground. |
| Tagano Vitter | Very solid runner with all 4 career wins and 8 placings over the distance. Dead-heated for a win on his seasonal debut in a 1200m middle-class allowance race at Nakayama in January. Placed in 5 of 6 starts since, including a smart 2nd in a 1200m upper-class allowance race (with Aster Swing in 3rd and Arret in 4th) at Nakayama on 9 September latest. Usually held up for late run. No ground issues. |
| Thirty Grand | Winner of 3 from 31 starts, including 2 over the distance. Chased well when 0.5L 2nd in this race last year. Unplaced in all 4 starts this term. Best when drawn wide and accelerated well to finish 1.5L 4th in an upper-class allowance race at the course and distance in May latest. Hold-up runner. No track concern. |
| Yamanin Imprime | 4 wins from 17 starts. Wins over 1000m to 1400m, including an upper-class allowance race at the course and distance in January. Ran a decent 1L 3rd in the 1600m JPN G3 Marine Cup at Funabashi in April. Finished 4th and 3rd in two 1400m upper-class allowance races most recently. Hold-up runner. No track issues. |
| You’re My Love | His 4 career wins all came over the course and distance, latest when overcame a wide draw to take a middle-class allowance race in April. Disappointing 13th in an upper-class allowance race (1200m) at Niigata in August latest. Closes from rear. Ground-wise runner. |
