RUBY OCEAN (6) brings the best recent 1400m line, winning at Kanazawa on 21 Sep by 1.5L in 56kg and now steps to 1500m from barrier 6. MOON OF GRIT (8) chased that winner home 2nd in the same race at level weights and maps similarly from barrier 8. BE THE FIRST (4) bolted in by 9L here on 6 Sep then was 5th on 21 Sep, and can rebound third up. EOLSSU (1) is drawn barrier 1 and scored here on 21 Sep over 1400m, backing up 11 days later.

Comes off a Kanazawa 1400m win 11 days ago (10 runners) carrying 56kg at SP 12, having previously run 3rd over the same trip when Tatsuya Nakajima rode behind Love Me Beauty and Wes Win. Draws the inside barrier this time after winning from gate 5, and sticks to a similar trip with only a slight distance tweak noted. In consistent local form this season (3:1-0-1) and maps to get every chance from the rail.

Comes off a narrow 2nd at Kanazawa over 1400m 26 days ago, beaten 0.5L at $10 carrying 55kg, and draws better today from barrier 2 after jumping from 7 last time. Earlier this prep she scored over 1400m on heavy by 2L at $22, and her season reads 2:1-1. With Shouma Katou retaining the ride and a favourable gate, she looks set to run well again.

Third-up and drawn well in barrier 3, he comes off a Kanazawa 1400m FIRM run 26 days ago when 4th of 10, beaten 6L carrying 56kg at $6. Prior, he won over 1400m at Kanazawa on HEAVY at $1.1, defeating Love Me Beauty, and reunites with Taiga Kurihara who has a solid record on him. Well set up back to a favourable gate and proven at the track, he can give a sight.

Third-up and back at Kanazawa, she scored over 1400m first-up on 6 Sep (FIRM) at $1.1 before finishing 5th of 10 there on 21 Sep (GOOD), beaten 5L by Ruby Ocean at $2.3. Draws barrier 4 again with 55kg and remains with the same rider-trainer pairing, so a measured bounce is possible if she reproduces her debut win.

Returns 26 days after a 5th of 10 at Kanazawa over 1400m (56kg, SP 91) on firm, having previously won there over 1400m on heavy as a $1.73 favourite. Has a solid local profile with a (Kanazawa:4:1-1-0) record and good synergy with Chihiro Kaneko (3:1-1-0). From barrier 5 and up 100m in trip, he looks capable of bouncing back if he reproduces his August peak.

Comes off a Kanazawa 1400m win 11 days ago, scoring by 1.5L under 56kg at $23 with Hirohisa Tachi, who is 1:1-0-0 on the colt. Prior runs at the trip include 2nd on FIRM by 1.5L to Carino Sofia and 2nd on HEAVY behind Keen To Win, showing versatility in conditions. Barrier 6 again and holding form, he looks set to give another honest account.

Bolted in at Kanazawa 1400m 11 days ago, winning as a 1.5 favourite with 55kg and beating Friendly Grin, and now comes back 100m from a similar barrier. Her prior 4th over 900m on FIRM reads fairly, and she stays at 55kg under Satoshi Yonekura for a short turnaround. Progressive filly holding form and well placed to run another bold race.

Coming off a 2nd at Kanazawa over 1400m 11 days ago, beaten 1.5L at $2.3 carrying 56kg, she now comes back slightly in trip. Earlier Monbetsu runs read well with a win and a 2nd at 1100m, and she returns to a barrier similar to that winning draw (now gate 8). Solid recent profile suggests she can be competitive again for Masaya Matsudo and Kouji Fujita.
