Verdict

MEISHO GEKIHA (10) is the top pick after converting consistent C3C4 form into a last-start win at this track, beating Peptide Eleanor by half a length at generous odds. His previous second over 7 ½f gives the profile a solid base, and the Junji Tanaka stable is a clear plus. LA VILLETTE (3) brings the neatest current form pattern, having beaten Wild Kagura by a length and a half after a narrow second to Aqua Treasure, and his record at this track is strong. MOON RAINBOW (8) returns freshened from B3 company, where she was beaten just over two lengths by Win Tolkien, and her broader record makes her a genuine danger despite not winning at this track and distance. TELEMACHUS (11) has the highest upside, with four wins and two places from six starts, and his last-start C1 win as a short odds-on favourite keeps him right in the race.

10	Built on a good second to Gold Irene over 7 ½f by winning at this track last start, beating Peptide Eleanor by half a length in C3C4 grade at generous odds. The form has a progressive look, and the Junji Tanaka stable being top-ranked for wins at this track strengthens the case.

3	Comes in off a strong last-start win at this track, beating Wild Kagura by a length and a half in C3C4 grade after being near the top of betting. He had earlier chased home Aqua Treasure, beaten only a neck in a C3, so the current form is reliable. Two wins and two places from five starts at this venue add further substance, and he rates as one of the clearest winning threats. 2nd Pick 3 La Villette Jockey: Yuki Miyauchi Trainer: Fuyuki Igarashi J: Yuki Miyauchi T: Fuyuki Igarashi	100	-	-	-	31%	9/4

8	Returns from a two-month freshening after a sound B3 run at this track, finishing sixth behind Win Tolkien but beaten just over two lengths from a rearward position. She had worked home fairly over 7 ½f the start prior without threatening, and her broader record of three wins and nine places from 21 starts is solid. The 1 ¹/16m record reads well enough to make her a strong chance if she is ready to fire fresh. 3rd Pick 8 Moon Rainbow Jockey: Yuji Iwahashi Trainer: Kunio Himori J: Yuji Iwahashi T: Kunio Himori	58	-	-	-	2%	60/1
