Race 1 1700m
DENSHO ROYAL (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths starting at $6.10. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WEIGHT JUDGE (3) drifted back over 1600m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths. Will drift back but is going to be hard to hold out. DREAMY LIFE (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 11 lengths into fourth. His best efforts measure up so he is worth another chance. FINAL WONDER (10) improved a little finishing midfield last start at this track, capable of a forward showing in this average lineup. |

Race 2 1600m
DERMA ABISETAOSHI (3) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 4 lengths away in third over 1600m at this track. Will again be prominent from the outset. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. AI MI HAI TEA (11) took advantage of a low draw last time and led throughout, saluting by one length over 1600m at this track. Tsubasa Sasagawa sticks. Among the leading chances. TRANSCENDENTAL (12) did a great job of scoring by 7 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SOPHIA COR (4) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into ninth over 1600m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well. Include in all combinations. |

Race 3 1200m
FALDA (2) has been going well this prep, scoring last start over 1200m at this track to make it four wins from four runs this time in. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with four wins from four runs and is sure to play a big role. M O NINER (15) finished third last start over 1200m at this track following a run of two wins on end. Certainly worth another chance. AFROBEAT (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins. Finds a nice race and can atone. KUCHOMOZA KWA JUA (11) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 1400m. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Worth another chance. |

Race 4 1600m
SHINTO HANANO RAN (3) showed good early pace over 1600m at this track last time and kept going to score by 2.5 lengths. Will again be prominent from the outset. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. EIS KING (6) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1600m, finishing seventh and beaten 3 lengths. His form at this track is solid. Should run well. BIG AMERICAN (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1600m at this track after being in contention on the bend.

Race 5 1200m
SOUTHERN FLEUVE (3) has switched yards since finishing fourth three weeks ago over 1400m at Kawasaki. Has ability and should be right in the finish. PONTE DRAGO (13) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths after being in contention on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VIKRANT (15) has four placings from seven starts this preparation and finished 7 lengths off the winner last start at this track, not the worst. VENEZIA FLAVOR (10) ran below her best last start when finishing well back from a wide draw over today's course and distance after being solidly backed. Has a strong record here at this journey with two wins from four runs. She strips fitter and should improve quickly. Each way value. |

Race 6 1600m
SIFNOS (7) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 2 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. TOA KALAKAUA (12) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by a neck over today's journey at this track. Has a good record at this course and distance, including two wins and two placings. Leading player. RAGING THRUST (10) is back at the races for the first time since December 30. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at this track. One to consider. SEED THE BREAK (11) has been thereabouts lately and is in the right race to rediscover his winning form. Each way. |

Race 7 1600m
YOU'RE ON FLEEK (6) is a last-start winner over 1600m at this track, making it two victories from four appearances this preparation. Form here at this distance is sound with four wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Another bold showing is expected. DAIKICHI HOMARE (3) got home by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1600m at this track. Boasts six wins here. Takami Riku who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Sure to be competitive. HOLLYWOOD HILLS (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start when 6 lengths away in seventh over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. RAMRI KETI (1) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Nicely placed to play a role in the finish. |

Race 8 1200m
LOVE ME MONACO (4) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a nose last start over 1600m at Kasamatsu. One of the top chances again. GOLDEN REAL (9) displayed plenty of early toe over 1200m at this track when resuming last time and went on to score by 6 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. BEE UP (6) is back from a spell of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. LEVER LE RIDEAU (7) is returning from a spell of six months. Finished fifth at Sonoda over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Takashi Kubosugi, and a close market watch is advised. |

Race 9 1800m
LIVE IT UP (11) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by a neck over 1600m at this track. Sure to measure up again. BANRI IKKU (4) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, an improvement on his fifth there the run before. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. LA FONTANA (10) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 15 lengths away in ninth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Finds an easier assignment and can turn things around. KEIAI ANTARES (6) strode forward early from his wide draw over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt last time, leading for much of the way before fading to finish fifth. Good top-three prospects at this level. |

Race 10 1400m
ESPRIT RICHARD (7) resumes after a break of 11 months. Did win at his only other first-up run when on debut, scoring over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature and the markets will be an important guide. RAISE YOUR LIMIT (4) was safely held when seventh last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 12 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. NEXT BREAK (9) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest 13th at this track over 1400m. Likely improver worth including. EUCALYPTUS (3) turned in an eye-catching run last time out over 1400m at this track, charging home from well back to finish a head away in second. Confidence is high after that last performance so he looks sure to be competitive. Watch for him late. |

Race 11 1800m
PRINCESS ALLIE (9) bounced back last start and scored by one length after being in contention on the bend over 1500m at Urawa. Likely to be there at the finish again. FORTE LIEN (3) was a winner last time over 1600m at this track and re-unites with Masashige Honda who steered on that occasion. Gets some weight relief this time so another bold showing is expected. FERDINANDO (6) scored last start by 1.3 lengths at this track over 1400m. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. One of the contenders. MISS CARRERA (4) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Urawa, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths over 1500m. She strips fitter second up and the extra 300 metres is ideal. Stick with her on an each way basis. |

Race 12 1200m
STORM ZONE (6) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including his last start in dominant fashion over 1200m at this track. He is in a good space and is the one to beat again. BOILER HOUSE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. NOAH VIGOROUS (1) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when third at Kawasaki over 900m, beaten 1.5 lengths. That run should have her rock-hard fit now. Drawn ideally and is a winning hope. ROYAL PEGASUS (5) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a sixth over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. Include in all combinations. |
