Verdict

LABYRINTH TIARA (14) brings the strongest recent profile after a well-supported second at Morioka Dirt, beaten a length and a half by Southern Groove, following a narrow Mombetsu win over Queen's Family. The first try around 1m is the obvious new element, but her three wins and five places from ten starts give her the right substance. PURPLE FOG (9) is unbeaten in three starts and has been winning with authority at Ohi, including a three and a half length success over Yuyu Viola, so the only genuine question is stretching to around 1m for the first time. TIMBALITOS (5) was dominant at this track last start, beating Mina Star by five lengths, and has already won at this track and distance. RIVER LUMINOUS (4) was disappointing as an odds-on favourite at Mombetsu, but her previous half-length second to Kazu Dream and solid 1m record keep her firmly in the winning mix.

14	Went close at Morioka Dirt last start, finishing second and beaten a length and a half by Southern Groove as a well-supported favourite. That followed a Mombetsu win over Queen's Family by a nose, where she worked home over the top, and her overall record of three wins and five places from ten starts is strong for this field. Around 1m is new, but her recent form makes her the one to beat. 1st Pick 14 Labyrinth Tiara Jockey: Tsubasa Sasagawa Trainer: Masakazu Murakami J: Tsubasa Sasagawa T: Masakazu Murakami	115	-	-	-	27%	11/4

9	Resumes after two months off with a perfect three-from-three record and the confidence of a filly who keeps putting fields away. She beat Yuyu Viola by three and a half lengths at Ohi last start as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, having beaten the same runner by five lengths the start prior. Around 1m is new territory, but her winning streak gives her a strong platform to keep progressing. 2nd Pick 9 Purple Fog Jockey: Keita Nishi Trainer: Hidemitsu Sakai J: Keita Nishi T: Hidemitsu Sakai	191	-	-	-	27%	11/4

5	Returns from a one-month let-up after a decisive win at this track, beating Mina Star by five lengths as an odds-on favourite and showing a sharp turn of foot. Before that she was beaten just under a length by River Luminous at Mombetsu, so the form ties in neatly. A track-and-distance win, strong place record and the winning rider back make her a major winning chance. 3rd Pick 5 Timbalitos Jockey: Akira Harita Trainer: Katsuyoshi Uchida J: Akira Harita T: Katsuyoshi Uchida	119	-	-	-	17%	5/1
