Verdict

ROUGE FILIA (7) sets the standard after missing by a nose as favourite in a Mdn over 6f at Sapporo, and her previous third at Niigata was another close, solid piece of form. She has not raced at around 7f before, but her consistency, class profile and recent ratings make her the one they have to beat. FOR MY DEAR (6) has been finishing better than her margins suggest, running on from well back at her past two starts at this track, and the class drop gives her a genuine platform. LIVE BAFFY (3) is the established local danger, with two wins and three placings from six starts at this track and distance and a strong record with Takayuki Yano. GUANBARE (9) was third at long odds at this venue last start and can run into the minor money again, though her overall winning strike rate keeps her more in the place lane.

7	Returns from five weeks off after going within a nose of winning a Mdn over 6f at Sapporo, finishing strongly as favourite behind Meisho Tenjin. That followed a close third at Niigata, so her form has real substance for a lightly raced filly. The 7f is new, but she brings the sharpest recent profile and the class drop gives her the right race to break through. 1st Pick 7 Rouge Filia Jockey: Ryo Novata Trainer: Junichi Yoshihashi J: Ryo Novata T: Junichi Yoshihashi	232	-	-	-	39%	13/8

6	Returns from five weeks off after a closing fifth at this track in COND grade, beaten six and a half lengths by Crystal Tower after having plenty to do. She produced a similar eye-catching effort when fifth behind Hiroki two runs back, and now gets class relief with only 115lbs. The 7f record is modest, but her recent finishing work gives her a live chance if within range. 2nd Pick 6 For My Dear Jockey: Yu Makoto Kato Trainer: Hiroaki Kawazu J: Yu Makoto Kato T: Hiroaki Kawazu	98	-	-	-	29%	5/2

3	Returns from five weeks off after a fair fourth at this track, beaten a length and a half as a well-supported favourite behind Ari Happy. He had been strong to the line for third at this venue the run prior, and his two wins and three placings from six starts at this track and distance are a major asset. With Takayuki Yano also having a perfect place record on him, he is a genuine winning threat. 3rd Pick 3 Live Baffy Jockey: Takayuki Yano Trainer: Kenichi Takatsuki J: Takayuki Yano T: Kenichi Takatsuki	155	-	-	-	17%	5/1
