MRS JONES (5) brings the most compelling winning profile, having strung together three wins and kept firm market confidence through that run. Her latest win at this track was controlled and professional, while the start prior in C2 grade was by six lengths, so the form has substance as well as momentum. YUI AVENIR (2) is the clear danger after missing by only half a length last start, and his previous C2 win from Kitakarakitatenshi showed he can sustain a strong finish. RISING HEARTH (6) is also in winning form, with back-to-back C2 victories and a strong track-and-distance record that keeps him right in the argument. KASHINO HANZO (1) has a place profile after finishing third last start and retains useful track-and-trip credentials, though he was well held behind Sei Blue Eye and has to turn the tables on Yui Avenir from that recent meeting.
