JYOTIS (5) has the strongest newcomer profile, with Christophe Lemaire taking the ride for leading trainer T Tezuka and the Maurice filly backed by a solid trainer-sire record of 15 wins and 36 placings from 106 runners. ROUGE QUASAR (14) has a wide barrier to overcome, but Y Shikato's debut record is sound and the Diogene family includes Reboost, a debut winner who later won twice. DIAM (12) draws out as well, yet Takeshi Yokoyama is a major booking and the Efforia filly has enough substance on breeding to be a genuine danger. SUNDAY (1) gets barrier one, Akihide Tsumura and a family with debut performers, giving her a clean platform to run well at the first time of asking.
