Maiden Race 1800m
MISSION LOOSE (12) showed early speed from a good draw and led until the entering the straight when first-up from a break last start, eventually holding on for second and beaten 5 lengths over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Sure to go well. GOUVERNAIL (4) went forward last time and looked a chance on the corner but faded to finish fourth over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. CHO GAMBARE (9) has filled a minor placing on two occasions in five starts. Failed to add to the tally last time out when fourth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Goes well at this journey with two minor placings to his credit. Worth including. BRAVE HEART MAN (3) is a first-starter by California Chrome from Tiffany Case who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Should enjoy a nice run from this draw and is certainly worth considering. |

Maiden Race 1200m
BRIGHT LUPINUS (13) missed the frame on debut then progressed nicely at her second outing when in the firing line on the turn, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PEREGRINE (7) defied her big price last time when beaten just half a length into second over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Bold showing expected again. HAPPY DANCE (9) is a maiden with three minor placings to her name. Could not improve on that record when resuming last start, winding up in fifth over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Was in the placings at her only other second-up run. Solid top-three prospects. MEISHO YOSHINO (1) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Can figure in the finish. |

Maiden Race 1900m
XEBEC (10) will find this a little easier than his third on debut two weeks ago, beaten 1.1 lengths at the end of 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Drawn out but he is worth following up. RAYED DESERT (5) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt after being prominent at the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TOULATTATTA (3) ran below expectations last time at Hanshin Dirt, finishing sixth and beaten 4.5 lengths starting at $8.30. Likely improver with strong prospects. KAZU VITOSHA (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was prominent at the bend before being beaten 6 lengths into sixth over 2000m at Hanshin Dirt. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat. |

Maiden Race 1600m
TSUNESAN (3) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Hanshin over 1600m. Will drift back but wind up late. One of the leading chances. NICK OF TIME (16) is back after a break of five months. Went close to a maiden win before the layoff, finishing third at his latest appearance over 1600m at this track. Good effort to kick-off last prep when in the money at this track over 1600m. Set for a bold return. DIGEST (7) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1600m at Chukyo on March 23. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. T O ROBERT (10) debuted at Hanshin on April 13 and was pretty plain when beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1600m. Will take a lot from that run and is open to improvement. |

Maiden Race 1800m
ROUGE LE LIEN (14) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to live up to market expectations. Most recently finished fifth over 2000m at Chukyo, beaten 2.5 lengths. Capable enough so worth another chance. ECO TAILOR (8) finished third last start over 2000m at Hanshin, beaten 2.25 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. FLORAL SCENT (5) is a five-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Hanshin over 1800m, beaten 3.5 lengths. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. PANPHAGIA (2) finished 5.5 lengths back in sixth on debut over 1800m at Hanshin last start. The race experience will be invaluable. Solid contender. |

Allowance Race 2200m
JUN TSUBAMEGAESHI (1) was close to the winner when fresh from a spell at Fukushima over 1800m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 1.1 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MEISHO NOBUKA (3) finished 5.5 lengths away in ninth last time out over 2000m at Fukushima when resuming from a spell as $4.1 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Backmarker who gets home hard. Best form puts her right in this. DANON CHROM (10) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 2400m at Hanshin. Ready to go a couple better. LAUREL CANYON (9) produced a better run last start, beaten 8 lengths into seventh over 2400m at Nakayama Dirt. Nicely placed to find some form. |

Allowance Race 1800m
OPERNBALL (2) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth, beaten 3 lengths, over 2400m at Hanshin after she was in contention on the bend. Should be peaking now and can find winning form this time. SALSA DIVA (5) was sent out at long odds when resuming last time but ran above expectations to finish second, beaten only 1.5 lengths, over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Should park just off the speed. Leading contender. TAGANO ELIZABETH (4) last appeared when she finished eighth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt on September 17. Can make her presence felt. COMPLACENCIA (1) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on October 28 when ninth, beaten 16 lengths. Should park just off the speed. One of the better hopes. |

Allowance Race 1200m
SANGANEB (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent form. ZAOULI (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Looks a winning chance. SIGRDRIFA (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin, beaten 4.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. MEISHO NARASHIBA (2) scored last start at Sonoda to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Not to be discounted. |

YAGURUMA SHO 2200m
CHILCANO (4) was a debut winner then went straight into stakes class and failed before a spell. Sure to have improved and won fresh. Look for big run. HIHIN (8) started at $2.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 4.5 lengths at this track over 1800m after being in contention on the turn. Finds a nice race and can make amends. JOSEPHINA (9) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 2000m at Hanshin, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner. Definite player. LAISSEZ PASSER (7) last raced when successful by 3 lengths at Kokura over 2000m on February 3. Went to the paddock a winner and has placed fresh. Go well. |

OIKE TOKUBETSU 1400m
AROMA DE ROSA (10) is a genuine four-year-old filly who resumed with a solid third last time out at Hanshin over 1400m. Leading player. ASK EPISODE (2) returns after a spell of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1200m at Hanshin. Should be hard to stop. RED AVANTI (8) has not appeared since he scored over 1200m at Kokura on February 24. Has definite claims. TERA STELLAR (4) finished third last time over 1400m at Hanshin, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Likely improver with solid prospects. |

THE UNICORN STAKES 1900m
MEURSAULT (12) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Winning rider Y Kawada retains the mount. Must raise the bar but another win is not out of the question. MIKKI FIGHT (4) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months that came after he recorded two straight wins to close last campaign. Winning jockey from last prep stays aboard. Top chance. RAMJET (5) is back from a spell of ten weeks and brings solid fresh form to the table. Strung together two wins before the break, the latest over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Will drift back but wind up late. Will be picking them up late. SATONO EPIC (9) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1800m contest at Nakayama Dirt last time out by 1.3 lengths. A bold showing is expected. |

Allowance Race 1400m
PARTY BELL (12) finished second over 1800m at this track at his most recent appearance on February 18. Comes here with definite claims. TOMOJA KEYA (13) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Hanshin Dirt, finishing 14th and beaten 14 lengths over 1400m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BATUQUE (2) made considerable ground in the run home to finish second last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. DERMA KANNON (15) returned from a spell two weeks ago when she was beaten 5 lengths into seventh over 1400m at Hanshin. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat. |
