Verdict

ICHIICHIYONNO YUME (1) looks the most solid starting point from barrier one for leading Urawa trainer Takashi Mizuno and leading jockey Ryo Novata, with Blue Swede and Clavel Blanco giving the family proven winning depth. LAMMERT (3) has genuine respect through Naoto Mizukami's debut numbers and a damline headed by Meisho Yokaze, a multiple city dirt winner. SYLPH MASTER (4) appeals as a place-to-winning chance through Blue Meteor's Tokyo Dirt 7f win, though the stable's debut record tempers the push. RYUNO HAYABUSA (5) is the rougher winning hope of the selected group, helped by Hirohito Noguchi's small but effective debut record and a family that has produced durable winners, but she needs to show it straight away.

1	Makes his debut from barrier one with a useful stable-and-rider base, as Takashi Mizuno ranks strongly at Urawa and Ryo Novata is among the leading jockeys here. The raw debut numbers for the stable and the Suzuka Causeway combination are modest, but the dam has produced Blue Swede, a 10-time winner, and Clavel Blanco, a four-time winner. That gives Ichiichiyonno Yume enough substance to be treated as a major chance first time out. 1st Pick 1 Ichiichiyonno Yume Jockey: Ryo Novata Trainer: Takashi Mizuno J: Ryo Novata T: Takashi Mizuno	36	-	-	-	56%

3	Begins his career with a few encouraging pointers, headed by Naoto Mizukami's debut record of one win and two placings from four starters. Yoichiro Muro also brings a top-five Urawa jockey ranking, while the dam has left Meisho Yokaze, a three-time city dirt winner from 1 ¹/16m to 1m. Lammert still has to do it under race pressure, but his profile reads well enough for a genuine minor-money push. 2nd Pick 3 Lammert Jockey: Yoichiro Muro Trainer: Naoto Mizukami J: Yoichiro Muro T: Naoto Mizukami	58	-	-	-	19%

4	Starts out from barrier four for Shinji Kobayashi and has a pedigree with a relevant local-style pointer, as half-sibling Blue Meteor won over 7f on Tokyo Dirt after placing on debut at Niigata Dirt. The trainer's debut record is yet to produce a placing from three starters, which keeps the assessment measured. Sylph Master has enough family evidence to run well without being declared the top seed. 3rd Pick 4 Sylph Master Jockey: Retsu Oikawa Trainer: Shinji Kobayashi J: Retsu Oikawa T: Shinji Kobayashi	19	-	-	-	6%
