Verdict

MEINER METEORA (7) has the most reliable winning profile after a head victory over June Smash at Urawa, and his previous second to First Attack gives the recent form a solid base. The 1 ¼m remains the main new test on the evidence supplied, but his current form and rider record keep him clearly on top. PURE CHROME (8) was dominant at this track last start, beating Passion Rosa by four lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite, and his local record is a strong counter to the step to an untried 1 ¼m. MINORICHAN (9) is fitter third-up, has already won at around this distance and comes through C2C3 races where she was respected in betting. PEPTIDE SHINANO (6) appeals as the improving place threat after a determined second to Yuyu Presence at Urawa and has already finished ahead of Minorichan recently.

7	Comes in with the best recent form after winning a COND at Urawa by a head over June Smash, having tracked the speed and kept finding. His previous second to First Attack was also sound, beaten three lengths after having work to do, and he has been well found in open markets at both runs. The 1 ¼m is still to be answered, but his current form and rider record make him the horse to beat. 1st Pick 7 Meiner Meteora Jockey: Takehiro Kasano Trainer: Maki Hirayama J: Takehiro Kasano T: Maki Hirayama	101	-	-	-	15%	6/1

8	Dominated a COND at this track last start, beating Passion Rosa by four lengths as a prohibitive odds-on favourite and maintaining a clear margin throughout. That was a major turnaround from his eighth in a Mdn at Nakayama Dirt, where he was big odds and never made headway. The new 1 ¼m is the question, but his local record and last-start authority keep him right in contention. 2nd Pick 8 Pure Chrome Jockey: Tsubasa Sasagawa Trainer: Takayuki Hayashi J: Tsubasa Sasagawa T: Takayuki Hayashi	163	-	-	-	50%	1/1

9	Has been competitive in two runs this campaign, finishing third to Matilda at Urawa before a fourth to Yuyu Presence in C2C3 company when respected in betting. She was only fair late last start, but third-up fitness and a prior win around 1 ¼m give her a stronger setup now. Peptide Shinano has the recent edge over her, though she remains a live winning hope. 3rd Pick 9 Minorichan Jockey: Kenji Okamura Trainer: Kazunori Sakai J: Kenji Okamura T: Kazunori Sakai	84	-	-	-	8%	12/1
