WONDER MARVEL (5) is on a short turnaround off a Nakayama 1800m 4th by 1.76L on 20 Sep and also drops 200m.

Second-up and draws the rail, rising 1kg to 56kg and stretching 400m in trip. Last start at Hakodate over 1200m he settled last and finished 10th of 11, 17.51L behind Fraochan at $20. The significant distance rise and inside barrier offer a different setup to find improvement.

Second-up from a 69-day break and draws barrier 2 after debuting from 6. He was 5th of 6 over 1700m at Sapporo on 25 Jul, beaten 61.25L in STANDARD going with 55kg at $34, and now carries 56kg with a slight drop to 1600m. The softer draw and distance trim offer a different setup to build on that initial experience.

Third-up and drawn better in barrier 4, he comes off a Nakayama 1200m run 19 days ago where he improved from last to finish 6th of 16, beaten 7.05L on a muddy track at $31. He rises 1kg to 56kg and drops 400m in trip, with Mickaelle Michel staying on; a cleaner surface and handier gate could help him take another step.

Third-up and returning after 61 days, he sticks to 1600m with 56kg from barrier 6. His two runs this prep were well back at Tokyo (7th, 1600m, GOOD, 55kg, SP 20) and Niigata (10th of 12, 1600m, GOOD, 55kg, SP 51), settling rearward throughout behind winners Lotschberg and Nodus. Needs to lift on those efforts but a slightly wider draw may allow him to find a rhythm.

Drops 400m today with 56kg and keeps Hironobu Tanabe from his Niigata run. Building a solid base this prep and a tidy effort is within reach.

Second-up after a Nakayama debut over 1200m where he finished 12th of 14, beaten 19.31L at SP 67 on muddy going. Rises 1kg to 56kg and draws barrier 11, but the 400m drop in trip could suit this preparation stage. Needs to show sharp improvement to factor.

Runner-up on debut at Tokyo over 1400m (GOOD) when $1.83 favourite, racing on-speed throughout from barrier 14 and beaten 1.25L by Yuino Espoir. Returns first up after 110 days with 56kg and a slight rise in trip to 1600m from a wide draw again. Solid debut platform suggests he can be competitive if he handles the extra furlong.

Third-up after a 2-month break and drops to 52kg, with a sharp 400m rise in trip. Her two Fukushima 1200m runs saw her back in the field before finishing 12th/13 (21.41L, SP 101) and 9th/12 (12.35L, SP 301). Needs to lift but the lighter weight and extra distance give her a different setup.
