WIN VANGUARD (10) earns top billing through the Haruki Sugiyama stable, a leading trainer at this track, and a debut record of 5 wins and 16 placings from 42 starters. The Baaeed colt also gets Atsuya Nishimura, a Group 1-winning jockey with strong local standing, which gives him the clearest profile. POSITIVE RENSA (12) represents the Shogo Yasuda yard and brings a straightforward debut case by Al Ain from Buena El Dorado, with the stable placing 8 of 31 first starters. LOVELY SEVEN (9) has the benefit of just 51kg and comes from the Group 1-winning K Sasada stable, making her a genuine danger despite a lighter exposed family profile. URSUS (13) is by Contrail, carries only 52kg and debuts for Hidenori Take, so she has enough pedigree and weight relief to be considered among the stronger winning chances.
