Info	OR	Days since last run	Age	Jockey
3rd (12) Churat	2	Miyabi Muto	Takahiro Mizuno	Resumes from a break. Struggled with the pace when 14th last time at Tokyo but having second career run. Not likely to be troubling the more fancied runners today.
2nd (10) Pop Groove	2	Shoma Sato	Hitoshi Kotegawa	First up from a break. Mediocre display when 6th last start at Hakodate but was a debutant last start. Hard to recommend.
1st (7) Ardechois	2	Akihide Tsumura	Hiroyasu Tanaka	Managed to run into 2nd beaten by 3/4L last run at Fukushima. Has run into the money 2 from 2 attempts this campaign. Strong claims.

(2) Kitano Flora	2	Junji Iwabe	Koji Kayano	Ran 8th last run at Niigata but having second career run. Drawn nicely. Prefer a return to something a lot easier.
(3) Grand Chatte	2	Kazuo Yokoyama	Keisuke Miyata	Resuming after spell. Fairly underwhelming when 6th last time at Hakodate but fitter for debut run. Suggest watching.

(5) Love Me Harper	2	Shuto Kobayashi	Minoru Tsuchida	Odds of $51.00 and looked outclassed when 11th last time at Niigata but having second career run. Better to look elsewhere.
