1600m – Dirt
A Shin Resume | After two wins in a row, his performances have been underwhelming since stepping up to this class. His only run at Tokyo was four starts ago over 1400m. |
Danon The Volcano | Has shown his suitability with three wins and one third over this course and distance. Finished disappointing 9th last time, so dropping back in distance and switching to Tokyo should be good factors. |
Flapper Look | Two wins in a row in the lower class (1800m) in 2023, and finished 2L 5th in this class (1800m) 16-month ago. Had two-digit finishes in the last three starts. |
God Blue Bee | Winless since January 2024 but three seconds in this class. Finished 3L 6th in this class (1700m) this February last time. |
Groschen | His first race off a break in this class (1800m) was disappointing 11th in January but at his last start he finished 3.5L 5th in Kitayama Stakes (1800m) in February. |
Jody’s Marron | Has not tasted any success for almost three years. 2.5L 2nd in this class (1400m) in November 2024, but showed little over this course and distance in February last time. |
Lap Star | Since moved up to this class he has shown little in the last four starts. He finished 5.5L 7th over 2000m at Hanshin last time. |
Leander | Impressive winner by 3L in the lower class over 1700m in July 2024 but has beaten far in four starts in this class. |
Night Aquarium | Consistent runner. Finished 2.3L 3rd off a break in this class over this course and distance in February before finished 3rd again over 1400m at Chukyo last time. |
Plavi | Missed on the board in four starts in this class. At his last run, he finished 8.3L 9th over 1800m. |
Point Culminant | Took second straight win in 2-win class (1700m) at Kokura in January, but quick turnaround might lack of his fitness, finishing 12th in this class (1700m) last time. |
Reflect the Moon | Struggled in this class, having two-digit finishes in recent five starts. Need to improve. |
Sorrel Bullet | Finished in the top three in 11 of 12 starts. Won the 1-win class (1800m) by 1.3L in January before 3.5L 2nd in the 2-win class (1800m). Showed his decent win by 1.3L over 1800m last time. Entitled to another winning chance. |
Sunrise Groove | Unplaced in seven starts in this class. Versatile groundwise. |
Taigen | His last win was two years ago. At his last start he finished 8L 4th in this class (1800m) last month. |
Wet Season | Showed upward curve, winning two times and finishing 2nd in recent three starts. Changed his running style last time, making all the way to the finish and won by 1.5L in the lower class over the same course and the distance. |
