Draws the inside after a short 12-day turnaround and has a barrier 1 placing on her card. Best recent effort was 3rd at Saga over 1300m on 29 Aug (SP 41) beaten 2L behind Davay Speedy on firm going. Inside draw and familiar rider give this mare a chance to settle closer and hold her form.

Consistent at Saga this prep (3:0-1-2), including a 2nd over 1300m on 5 Sep at $1.83 and a 3rd on heavy last start beaten 1L. Draws barrier 2 and stays around the same trip, which suits his pattern; ready to be in the finish again.

Placed twice over 1300m at Saga in June–July, including a 2nd on heavy (SP 26) behind Bermuda Boy and a close 3rd (1.5L, SP 1.28). Since then she’s finished 9th/7th/8th at the same trip, the latest 24.3L on heavy 12 days ago. Draws barrier 3 again and needs to recapture that mid-winter form to feature.

Third-up and on a short turnaround, he comes off a solid 3rd at Saga over 1300m on 1 Oct, beaten 2L by Davay Ho O at $7 carrying 55kg. Draws better into barrier 4 after racing from 7 last time, and his two Saga 3rds this season suggest he’s holding form and can be competitive again.

Progressive Saga 1300m form, highlighted by a 2nd two starts back (0.5L) behind Star Of Charge at 54kg when sent off $4.6. She comes off a 3rd over the same trip on soft at $23, and today draws barrier 5 with Reo Nakayama and rises to 54kg after carrying 51kg last time. Solid local record (Saga 4:0-1-1) suggests she can be competitive again.

Found the line a clear 7L away when 4th of 8 at Saga over 1300m on heavy 12 days ago at $91, an improved effort on her prior 9th there on firm. Stays around this trip with 54kg from barrier 6 and keeps Jouji Komatsu. Needs another step forward but recent progress gives her a place chance.

Third-up and ultra-consistent at Saga with two 2nds this season, most recently over 1300m on 27 Sep when beaten 0.5L on HEAVY at $6.5 carrying 54kg. Steps out to 1400m after that solid run and draws barrier 7 after the rails gate last time, with Isao Yamaguchi taking over. Honest profile suggests she can be in the finish again.

Recent Saga runs at 1300m include a 3rd on 16 Aug (SP 201) beaten 2.51L by Wonderful Ring, but he has since finished 7th and 6th with margins 7.7L and 12.3L. Stays near the trip with 55kg from barrier 8 after 18 days, and his track record (7:0-1-1) suggests a place chance at best if he can recapture that August effort.
