SAN BENITO (6) makes most appeal on debut for Shinichi Higashi, the top-ranked trainer for wins at this track, and the stable's first-starter record of 3 wins and 7 placings from 10 starters is a strong pointer. She is by California Chrome from Meine Presea and gets in with 54kg. CHARON TESORO (1) has the inside barrier, Shinsuke Ishikawa aboard and a Mashima Niiya debut profile of 2 wins and 4 placings from 5 starters, so he looks a genuine danger. SHISHI KIBARE (3) has a clean draw in barrier 3 and Takuto Demizu, ranked fifth for wins at this track, gives him a sound top-three shape. KEY TO SUCCESS (5) represents Sameshima Katsuya, a strong track trainer whose debut figures show 1 win and 4 placings from 7 starters, and that keeps him in the mix if sharp enough first time out.
