Race 1 1400m
LORD LIGHTNING (2) hit the frame two starts ago here but ran below par last time when tenth over 1400m at this track. Better placed and expected to measure up. STAR IN STEALTH (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this circuit. Strips fitter and worth another chance. DEAREST LOVE (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when ninth over 1400m at this track after she was in contention on the turn. Has further improvement to come and is a key runner. SHIRAKABA (5) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest and can make the finish here. |

Race 2 1230m
TEMMA WANYA (2) managed to fill a minor placing at Himeji two starts back before finishing seventh over 820m at this track last start. Big chance to break through. HADAR (4) finished out of the money when seventh in a 1400m contest at Kasamatsu five weeks ago. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. NISHINO YELL (5) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. BEAR ROCKET (7) ran a better race last start to finish sixth over 820m here. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is capable of further improvement. |

Race 3 1400m
NISHINO BUCHINUKE (3) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. HOORAY (2) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Nicely placed to bounce back. COCOLI VALKYRIE (6) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Capable of a strong showing. HISHI ARAKAN (7) ran a better race last start, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can go on with it now. |

Race 4 1230m
A SHIN DOPPLER (9) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Osamu Shimohara stays aboard and he can go on with it. MAPLE KENJI (5) started at $3.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can atone. ROCKIN' DOOR (2) got a long way back when tenth in a 820m contest at this track two weeks ago. Out in distance here and can figure in the finish. IL ROSA (10) lines up for the first time since January 3. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 820m at this track. One to consider fresh. |

Race 5 820m
STUKA (4) had been racing well with three consecutive placings before last start managing only fourth over 820m at this track. Key runner who can make amends. RYUNO HINAKO (6) got the job done in grand style last start, scoring by a neck over this journey at this track after stalking the lead. In great form and is well-placed to feature again. EQUULEUS TESORO (2) turned in a fine effort to score by 3 lengths at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Meets some better types this time but this looks well within his grasp. MARU MARU MARU (1) is resuming from a spell of three months and having her first run for the Moriyuki Nishimura yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 1400m. Include. |

Race 6 1400m
CHIKIU BOEIGUN (4) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. COOL BIG STAR (2) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Tomohiro Yoshimura is noteworthy. Has his share of talent and gets a great chance to break through. RISOLUTO (6) improved last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. STAR WIN (3) failed to figure last time over 1400m at this track when fifth. Strong contender on her best form. |

Race 7 1400m
ASK VUE REVE MORE (3) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. Shaping up nicely and he is a leading contender. FIVE REYNA (2) displayed plenty of early toe over 1400m at this track when resuming last time and dug deep to score by a neck. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is good enough to play a major role. GALANT (1) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Capable of another big performance. RED ACTEUR (6) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Last-start winner who can measure up again. |

Race 8 1400m
LAMBEAU LEAP (1) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Osamu Shimohara is a positive move. Sure to run well. KEY CLASSIC (5) returns from a break of five-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to kick off another successful campaign. TENKOBAHI (3) could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. CONFISERIE (4) is back after a break of eight months. Has found the frame when fresh before and worth including. |

Race 9 1400m
ROCK A BALLAD (1) was expected to do more last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track. Better than the last effort suggests and is worth another chance. KADONO YUTORI (5) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when 12th over 820m at this track. Out in trip here and can make the cut. RE GO TO (4) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suited here and can make his presence felt. CHIEF IN THE SKY (8) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Yoshiki Kamomiya gets the best out of this four-year-old entire and look for another improved run. |

Race 10 1400m
KISS UMAI (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and two minor placings from five starts. Should be in the finish again. IN A WINK (6) resumes in a similar race to his last run four months ago when third. Has switched to the Yoshihiro Iida yard and will be tuned-up for this. Expected to run well. TRANE (5) was in contention on the corner and finished second last start over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. BRANDY (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1230m at this track. Strips fitter and expected to feature. |

Race 11 1870m
A SHIN DUELER (2) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1400m here after a win at Himeji at the previous outing. Can bounce back to winning form here. KFIR (9) scored by 5 lengths last time out over 1700m at this track. Has a strong record this course, scoring at two of four starts. Major player. KEYWORD (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was always up in the leading division over 1700m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but he can win if at his best. HOKUZAN GOLD (5) has been in the market at his last couple of runs since resuming but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track over 1870m. Expecting improvement here. |

Race 12 1230m
TAMAMO MEGA JOKKI (2) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 0.8 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. GRUNER BLITZ (1) was solidly backed last time out but failed to fire and finished fifth over 1230m at this track. Likely to go forward from a nice draw and can play a major role. HERMANITO (6) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth. Among the chances. YUBAE (4) hasn't really produced this campaign but worth consideration today. |
