Verdict

PIKO PINK (7) has the clearest winning profile after resuming with a nine-length C2 win over 5f at this track as a dominant odds-on favourite. She has won two of three at 6f, has a strong record at this venue and is still building a reliable winning habit. PEONY (4) resumes from six months off, but her last campaign ended with consecutive COND wins at this track, including a runaway success before a narrow odds-on victory. Her distance and jockey records are compelling fresh evidence. CUMIN FLAVOR (9) returns from a two-month freshening after scoring in C2 company at this track, and her two wins from six at the track and distance keep her right in the contest if she repeats that latest figure. PEISHA KELLY (8) was beaten only a neck as an odds-on favourite last start after a C2 win the run prior, and her strong season record gives her a sound place-to-win chance despite the wider draw.

She had also won her previous C2 start by two lengths, so the current profile is all about momentum and reliability. Two wins from three at 6f, a strong track record and a proven partnership with this jockey make her the one they all have to beat. 1st Pick 7 Piko Pink Jockey: Ryo Fujita Trainer: Katsunori Arayama J: Ryo Fujita T: Katsunori Arayama	182	-	-	-	20%	4/1

4	Returns from a lengthy spell after ending her last campaign with consecutive COND wins at this track. She beat Golden Rutile by a long way on fast ground, then started a prohibitive odds-on favourite and got over Presto Scepter by a nose on good ground. Two wins and one placing from three starts at 6f, plus an unbeaten record with this jockey, give her a strong platform fresh. 2nd Pick 4 Peony Jockey: Hiroshi Chida Trainer: Hiroyuki Matsuura J: Hiroshi Chida T: Hiroyuki Matsuura	55	-	-	-	35%	15/8

9	Returns from a two-month freshening after a stylish C2 win at this track, where she beat Fraise Bonbon by just over a length after looming strongly. The run before was a plain sixth over 7f, beaten over 12 lengths, but the latest effort sits much better with her two wins from six at this track and distance. With a strong jockey record in her favour, she is a live winning danger. 3rd Pick 9 Cumin Flavor Jockey: Niihara Shuma Trainer: Daisuke Mashima J: Niihara Shuma T: Daisuke Mashima	122	-	-	-	13%	7/1
