Race 1 1400m
KEY CAUSEWAY (3) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations when fresh at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 11 lengths when well supported. Yet to break through at this trip but has racked up two placings and should be hard to top. CRIPPLE CREEK (1) brings sound form at track and trip with a win and two placings from four runs. Looks to have an edge on most of these. DOBELL FLASH (2) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below best latest, finishing sixth and beaten 10 lengths over 1400m at this track. Better than last and rates an each way chance in this line up. SHINZEN VICTORY (5) raced below his best last time when finishing eighth over 1400m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Should be camped just off the leaders and looks to have solid claims on best form. |

Race 2 1400m
BELLE GIROUETTE (5) has a win and five placings at this journey from 12 starts. Expected to go close. MEDIUM (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth and beaten 15 lengths when in the market. Rates highly here and expected to atone for last run. GENIO (9) finished sixth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Expected to be competitive. ASTER VIOLA (1) drifted back and settled near the tail over 1600m here last time but failed to come on when seventh, beaten 16 lengths. Better than latest and can atone. |

Race 3 1400m
HARPY DRAGON (5) finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Will be hard to toss. COOL SANTA (8) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth, beaten 9 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will be prominent and hard to run down here. BLANC MONSTRE (1) resumes today after placing at his last run at Kasamatsu over 1600m. Should be camped handy in the run and likely be involved here on best form. SADAMU ORIGIN (6) showed little early speed and was always well back finishing eighth over 1400m here last time. Honest record at this distance including two wins and six placings from 20 runs. Don't underestimate. |

Race 4 1400m
A SHIN ARK (1) showed good speed and was prominent throughout before holding a placing, beaten 5 lengths over 1400m here last time. Jockey Takahiro Imai stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on him three times. Rates among the leading chances. SEI ORCHID (2) returns from a spell today after a year, his previous run was a 14 length sixth over 1800m. Expected to thrive back to NAR level. Has the profile of a winner. MA CHERIE (9) just missed last time when a half a length second at this track and is close to a win on recent form. Rates strongly and can overcome the tricky draw. CORDIA LUKKA (6) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found a position close to the lead, sticking on well when third over 1400m at this track. Has been in the money four times this course and distance but yet to break through. Keep safe. |

Race 5 1400m
ELSINORE (5) broke through for his maiden win at this track over 1400m and the same jockey Katsuto Maruno stays aboard. Has found winning form now back to NAR level and is worth following up. ECORO PEGASUS (4) was seventh last start when resuming over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Will be fitter, gets Okabe in the saddle and should prove hard to beat. GOLD LAUNCH (6) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest when second at this track over 1400m. Runs well here placing at all three runs and shapes as one to consider. SEI SPHERE (9) is a six start maiden who was in the placings her last two starts, finishing third at Kochi last time out and is close to breaking through. Has good early speed and has to be respected. |

Race 6 1400m
KOMA FOURZE (3) belied the big odds last time, sent out at $28.90 but finishing a 1.5 lengths second over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Makoto Okabe stays atop again today. Best form puts her right in this. A SHIN AEGIS (2) ran below expectations last time out finishing seventh and beaten 7 lengths at Himeji over 1400m when in the market. Favourably drawn and gets Okabe in the saddle. Rates highly here and expected to atone for last run. FUKAI (4) brings sound form at track and trip with a win and one placing from four runs. Looks well placed and is among the chances on best form. GREAT ROMAN (7) is close to breaking through, last time out recording another placing when third over 1400m at this track. Yet to win here but has recorded some good runs including five placings and can certainly figure in the finish. |

Race 7 1400m
PAS DE CROIX (5) ran below expectations last time out finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1600m when in the market. Honest record at this distance including four wins and two placings from 15 runs and best form puts her right in this. VICKE (6) has a solid record here over this journey winning three races from 20 tries. Best figures should see him run well. MOZU ANGELA (8) settled back but hit the line well in the straight to finish fourth and beaten 6 lengths over 1600m here last time. Rates well here and has to be included among the main hopes. BON MARIAGE (2) was below her best last time finishing sixth and beaten 12 lengths at this track. Proven rider Katsuto Maruno stays aboard. Merits respect on best figures. EVEREST TESORO (1) next. Inconsistent but warrants thought from barrier 1. |

Race 8 1600m
TAIKI DESEO (10) showed good speed and fought on well when third over 1400m at this track last time. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Proving a good combination with same rider in the money the last four rides. Should be hard to top. ANOTHER END (9) raced below best at last run when 15th over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt and returns from a year break. Fitness some query but is a JRA winner back to NAR level. Makes plenty of appeal fresh. SEI PATIENCE (2) showed good speed and fought on for a place when second over 1400m at this track last time. Regular rider Hitomi Miyashita back aboard again. Expected to measure up. YAKO RESSHA (5) ran below expectations last time out finishing seventh and beaten 12 lengths at this track over 1400m when in the market. Best figures too good to ignore and expecting a better run here. |

Race 9 1400m
SUNRISE FULMEN (5) scored a 4 length win here last time over 1600m, making it three wins on the trot. Rates highly on recent form and can measure up again. KAMILLE (10) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 7 lengths win over 1400m at this track. Form here at this journey is very good including six wins from 10 runs. Expected to be in the finish. MAQLUBA (3) went forward and gave a sight when third over 1400m at this track last time. Boasts a top record at this journey having never missed the frame from four starts including two wins and is capable of going close on best figures. GENERAL AREA (2) has a sound record here with two wins and four placings from nine starts. Should be about the money. |

Race 10 1600m
MEINER DEMAIN (6) showed speed and fought on well to finish second over 1600m at this track as the favourite. Has a solid record here including seven wins and five placings from 16 tries and can improve today. MONUMENT KING (7) missed the placings when fourth over this distance at this track last time. Has a strong record this course, scoring at 12 of 19 starts. Sure to go close if runs up to the mark. SEE A FAIRY (1) is racing well with a 8 length win at this track two back then second at this track last time. Usual rider Makoto Okabe engaged again. Has claims if runs up to her mark. RIDE (3) was always well back last time before finishing tenth over 1600m at this track. Change of rider to Hitomi Miyashita who has seven wins aboard. Rates among the each way hopes. |
