NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:40 Race 1 920m
MAI SORA (11) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 920m at this track when second. Jumps from a wide draw but she should be in the finish again. DIA NO FUKKATSU (9) is an eight-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at this track over 920m last time out. Well placed and gets his chance. KOMA ZERO ONE (10) was well in the market on debut last start but could only manage sixth at this track over 920m. Fitter and is among the chances. B B QUEEN (2) finished seventh at her most recent outing over 920m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish.
2 01:10 Race 2 1500m
HARTEROS (12) remains a maiden after five runs. Had plenty of admirers last time but could only manage to finish seventh over 1500m at this track after she was well back on straightening. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. T M BONITA (1) has switched yards since finishing tenth two weeks ago over 1500m at this track. Should be primed for this suitable race and can take this out. MILLE MANDORLI (11) finished sixth last start over 1500m at this track, an improvement on her 15th at Chukyo Dirt the run before. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. NAMURA BRIDGET (2) could only manage to finish ninth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment.
3 01:45 Race 3 1500m
MIYUKIATESSOUHAITS (7) finished 13th over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt at her most recent appearance on January 7. Has switched to the Satoru Setoguchi yard and should be ready to go. RUKO BEAUTY (5) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what she can do. BLOT CASTER (9) has been safely held at his last couple of starts, the latest when always well back in 11th over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Expecting a far better run at this level. SYMBOL THE SUN (1) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing 14th over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
4 02:20 Race 4 1400m
A SHIN ZEST (3) did well last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten only a neck. Handy draw will assist. Hard to beat on that latest effort. MEISHO TORIDE (7) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a nose last time out over 920m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. FALMARIN (6) finished out of the money when eighth over 1500m at this track four weeks ago. Meets a stronger field but she is worth another chance. METCHA SASU (2) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 920m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
5 02:55 Race 5 1500m
LEONINO (6) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing half a length away in second over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Looks well placed so expect another big run. CARLE POMELO (7) finished fifth last time out over 920m at this track two weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid winning chance. COSMO COLTRANE (10) is putting together some solid results. Finished third at this track two starts back then landed the prize by 2 lengths as favourite last time out over 1500m at this track. Meets some better types this time but he can test this field. KURINO SLUGGER (4) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when seventh over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
6 03:25 Race 6 1500m
GRAN SUENO (2) lines up for the first time since December 11. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1500m at this track. Comes here with definite claims fresh. PARADISE CITY (3) has been about the money with eight minor placings from 15 runs this campaign, the latest a solid third over 1500m at this track. Has a good gate and is expected to go well. FATTORE AMORE (4) resumed two weeks ago over 1500m at this track and was only beaten 1.5 lengths into fourth. Strips fitter and can feature. ECORO GRAZIE (6) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1500m at this track after a win at Kasamatsu at the previous outing. Can break through here.
7 03:55 Race 7 1500m
DOREMIFONG (2) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second here two starts back then landed the prize by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Makoto Okabe scored on her last time and retains the ride. Looks well placed so expect another big run. IRIS BAROWS (6) returns from a break of ten weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1500m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. PADDINGTON BOOTS (11) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight, finishing eighth. Worth noting Seigo Tsukamoto goes aboard. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win if at his best. OFFICE BATTLE (5) last appeared three weeks ago over 1400m at Kanazawa when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Uto Hideki stable and expect him to be primed for this.
8 04:25 Race 8 1500m
LUX EL DORADO (1) is racing well. Scored here two back then finished third over 1400m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Takahiro Imai stays aboard. Likely to feature. RETALIATION (9) scored two back at this track but was below his best last time when fifth over 1400m here. Well placed and can bounce back to the winner's circle. JUST TRY (10) finished just a neck from the winner in second last start over 1500m at this track after racing handy. Drawn out but can cross and take this out. SEVEN REACH (2) turned in a fine effort to win by a neck at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Worth noting Kodai Asano goes aboard. Finds another suitable race and can go on with the job.
9 05:00 Race 9 1700m
ATTLEE TESORO (9) won two starts back here but couldn't back that up when unplaced over 1500m at this track last time. Terrific chance to return to form. B B XANDER (3) scored three outings in a row then was below his best last time when seventh over 1500m at this track. Can bounce right back here. OILMAN (1) was safely held last start when fifth at this track and distance after jumping from a wide gate. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset and is one to consider. WATER GENIE (5) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track, finishing fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
10 05:35 Race 10 2000m
BOLD RAI (9) got home by 2 lengths last time out over 920m at this track. Boasts three wins here. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. OSTFALEN (6) was underwhelming last start but if he can find the form that saw him finish second at this track two back he is right in contention. SESERAGI (1) bounced back last start and landed the prize by half a length over 1400m at this track. Meets a stronger field but she is up to the task. NOBLE HARBOR (8) performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Can figure prominently.
11 06:05 Race 11 1500m
SEI VALIANT (3) bounced back last start and landed the prize over 1500m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. DANCING LOVELY (5) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second over 1500m here at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Likely to feature again. KEY JUPITER (2) finished fifth over 2100m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Yet to miss the frame from eight starts at today's journey, including six wins and shapes as one to consider. BUMBUN MARU (10) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this circuit. Key contender on best form.
12 06:35 Race 12 1500m
TOMA (9) finished just half a length from the winner in second last start over 1500m at this track after racing handy. Drawn out but can cross. Tackling a more suitable race so he is all set to find the winners' list. TOHO PARADISE (11) didn't fire over 1700m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run prior. Nicely placed to bounce back. YUMEMIGOKOCHI (2) was comfortably accounted for when 11th last time out over 1700m at this track after a win at Kasamatsu at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. GOLD LEOPARD (4) improved last start to finish third over 1700m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
