NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:55 Race 1 1300m
MYR (7) was last at the races when she finished third over 1400m at this track on February 12. She was favourite on that occasion and she's only 83 days between runs. Should be forward enough coming into this and looks the one to beat. DESUYONE (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MONONOFU PINK (8) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. DO FORCE (4) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish sixth over 1300m at this track. Can feature in the finish.
2 03:35 Race 2 1300m
MEINER KING (1) has been out of the money at his last couple, the latest when 15th at Nakayama Dirt. Drops back to NAR level today and should appreciate the easier grade. Should be winning if he runs up to what he did on the JRA circuit. KITANO CATTLEYA (8) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and three minor placings from six starts. Among the leading chances. GOOD RIDDANCE (3) last appeared when he finished eighth over 1800m at this track on November 12. Among the better hopes. COSMO REMIX (6) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing seventh over 1600m at this track. Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Well placed to make amends.
3 04:05 Race 3 1400m
WIN JOYFUL (7) finished fourth last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Goes well at this journey with six wins from eight starts. Profiles nicely. KANNON SOLARE (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. The engagement of Seiya Tatara is a positive move. Has the talent to figure prominently. GOOD FAITH (6) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1400m at this track, finishing 11th. Will make his presence felt. SOURIRE SINCERE (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
4 04:35 Race 4 1400m
IRON MUSUME (5) held on well to finish second last time out over 1600m at this track after leading for much of the way. Will go forward again and looks set to go one better in this suitable assignment. AFAN (6) missed the placings two runs back then was never in contention last start when 14th over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Has the class to take care of this field as he drops back to NAR grade. CHANT A CHARM (8) was comfortably accounted for when sixth last time out over 1600m at this track. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Perfectly placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. NATHAN BAROWS (1) finished fifth over 1300m at this track at his latest appearance. Well placed to bounce back.

LORD ASTERISK (9) resumed last start over this journey at this track and scored by 5 lengths. Has a strong record this course, scoring at three of six starts. Among the leading chances. WEATHERCOCK (5) struggled in a tougher race two starts back but last time appreciated the drop in grade and bounced back to salute over 1600m at this track. Strong winning hope again. YAMANIN FELIX (7) was in the firing line on the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1600m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Going up a level this time but he is up to the challenge. TAIL WIND (11) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at this track two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
6 05:40 Race 6 1400m
WATER LEMON (3) missed the frame last time when ninth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on four consecutive occasions. Eita Inoue has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Should be in the finish. WIN METEORA (8) raced below his best last time when eighth over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. NOISY APPROACH (5) made progress last time out, finishing in third at the end of 1300m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.

Can keep the winning streak alive from a favourable alley. SANONO SPEED (11) is racing well, scoring two back at this track before finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time over 1600m at this track. Leading contender. BOUNTY CAT (12) led throughout last time over 1300m at this track and scored a comfortable win. Will be looking to cross again and shapes as one to consider. MISHIRO WAY (8) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. In contention this time.
8 06:45 Race 8 1400m
ADLER (7) was successful last start over 1300m at this track, getting home by a neck to make it five wins in a row. Winning rider Minoru Miyagawa retains the mount. Beautifully placed and looks set to extend his picket fence. CAPTIF (5) was an emphatic winner last time over 1300m at this track with today's rider Shuji Akaoka engaged. Should park just off the speed. Best figures should see him run well. SURPRISE VIEW (8) found plenty to salute by 2 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Has a fine record here with two wins from five starts. Shapes as one to consider. DANKE SCHON (6) turned in a better run last start, beaten 4 lengths into fourth over 1300m at this track. Well placed to turn things around.
9 07:20 Race 9 1400m
ARUMAMA (1) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on February 3 finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo. Has switched to the Shinji Kudo stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. MORNING PASS (10) has scored at his last four starts, most recently by 4 lengths over 1600m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with four wins from four runs. Leading player again. MISSION RAIL (5) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing eighth over 2000m at Urawa. Rates highly on best figures; can do much better. BILLIE'S BOUNCE (2) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1300m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Best figures measure up nicely. Solid top-three prospects.
10 07:50 Race 10 1400m
COLOUR INDEX (2) last appeared four weeks ago over 2600m at Fukushima when she finished ninth. This is her first run for the Tetsuya Nagase stable as she drops into NAR level. Bright prospects if she can hold her form coming into this event. TROIS CHARME (11) was last at the races when he scored over 1400m at this track on December 10. Hard to knock form this course having never missed the frame including two wins and one placing. Has found a suitable race. KAR SMOKY (9) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but disappointed last time when out of the placings at this track over 1300m. Tackling a more suitable race this time so he is perfectly placed to make amends. NAMURA SWAGGER (4) was in contention on the bend but turned in a disappointing run last time out over 1300m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish.
11 08:55 Race 11 1600m

T UP X (1) was an emphatic winner last time over 1400m at this track with today's rider Taichi Nagamori engaged. Should camp just off the leaders. Among the leading chances. GRAN REGENT (8) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 6 lengths away in second over 1300m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. SPRING LOVE (7) used the rails draw to good effect last start, bouncing straight to the lead and scoring an all-the-way win over 1300m at this track. In the mix.
12 08:55 Race 12 1400m
EEL TESORO (3) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish tenth over 1300m at this track in a disappointing performance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. AVANT (2) missed the placings two runs back then got a long way back last start when tenth over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. WIN AIM HIGH (8) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth last start over 1300m at this track, an improvement on his 12th at this track the run before.
