Verdict

SWEEP REGINA (1) sets the standard after a close third at this track, where she was beaten just over a length after being run down late. Her prior fourth behind Narino Dream was sound enough, and her record around 7 ½f gives her the most complete recent profile among the main hopes. YAMATO KACHIDOKI (7) is the clear danger second-up, with a fourth at this venue off a five-week break and a strong place record across the past 12 months, though the long winless record keeps her from being a dominant pick. KURUME MITCHI (9) comes through a sharper Urawa second, finishing strongly to be beaten a length and a half, and that latest effort brings him right into the race despite an inconsistent run prior. NITTO ATLAS (8) resumes with a lightly raced profile, solid placing figures at this venue and enough prior form around this level to be treated as a genuine fresh threat.

#/Silk	Horse#/Horse	Power Rating	High Speed	Win %	Top 3%	Win Prob	Odds
1	Returns from a five-week let-up after going close at this track, finishing third to Horse Spirit when beaten just over a length after being run down late. Her fourth here prior was fair rather than sharp, but she is race fit and has two wins and three places from nine starts at this distance. The setup is not without a small query, yet her recent form gives her the clearest winning case. 1st Pick 1 Sweep Regina Jockey: Yu Makoto Kato Trainer: Yuya Yamazaki J: Yu Makoto Kato T: Yuya Yamazaki	183	-	-	-	31%	9/4

7	Back after five weeks on the sidelines following a fourth at this track, beaten four lengths by My Presti when at long odds. She only worked home fairly, but that was a sound second-up platform and her past 12 months show seven placings from twelve starts. The absence of a win remains the obvious reservation, though her consistency gives her a strong chance to be prominent again. 2nd Pick 7 Yamato Kachidoki Jockey: Manato Tsuchida Trainer: Sunao Yamada J: Manato Tsuchida T: Sunao Yamada	68	-	-	-	25%	3/1

9	Produced a much better run at Urawa last start, finishing second to Kasukana Nozomi and beaten a length and a half after closing from a seemingly hopeless position. That was a clear rebound from his eighth behind Gomez at this track, where he never looked likely. He has one win and eight placings around 7 ½f, and that latest finish makes him a genuine winning threat. 3rd Pick 9 Kurume Mitchi Jockey: Taniuchi Kanta Trainer: Yoichi Tanabe J: Taniuchi Kanta T: Yoichi Tanabe	114	-	-	-	15%	6/1
