NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:45 Race 1 1400m
DYNAMIC BIO (8) is a four-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent outing over 1400m at Urawa after he gave away a big start. Among the top chances in what looks a most suitable race. SOTARO (10) has been freshened up since finishing seventh on April 1 over 1400m at this track. Capable of a lot more. ICHIRINNO BARA (2) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 7 lengths away in third over 1400m at Urawa. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MILD LEON (3) finished 9 lengths away in seventh at his last appearance over 1400m at Urawa on April 19. No surprise if he figured in the finish.
2 03:15 Race 2 1400m
ONE LOVE (2) finished second, beaten a head, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KEN BRIDGE WITH (9) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1500m at Funabashi, beaten one length. Will take beating. MINATO ICHIBAN (4) turned things around last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner over 1400m at this track. No reason he can't win again. TOSEN EVE (5) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Urawa over 1500m. Likely improver with strong prospects.
3 03:45 Race 3 1500m
CORTE DEFEAT (9) is struggling to find the winners' circle but has been around the mark, last start finishing third over 1400m at Urawa. In-form three-year-old colt so no reason he cannot take this out. LAVOTA (5) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was prominent throughout over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. COLLBRANDE (7) is a promising type who finished in the placings over 1500m at this track at his last appearance on December 15 the only run of that campaign. Has a strong fresh record including a win and two minor placings. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give backers a great sight. AILE LIBRE (6) held on well to finish second last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. Strong top-three prospect.
4 04:15 Race 4 900m
PAS DE DEUX (2) went forward when resuming last start over 1200m at Funabashi and held on well for third, beaten 4.5 lengths. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DONA DUBOIS (8) is fresh from a spell of six-and-a-half months and did hit the frame when last resuming at this track over 900m. In a different yard now. Solid chance first-up for the new barn. SHINOBU DESTINO (11) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 900m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Winning rider Ryo Tanaka sticks and she cannot be discounted. MONT LUNE (7) has not appeared since she scored over 900m at this track on December 14. Sure to measure up.
5 05:00 Race 5 1400m
BAJIGAKU KALMIA (4) has been racing in great heart with eight top-three finishes on end, the latest a second over 1400m at this track. Won't need to improve much to be winning this. Top pick. KALAUNU (9) is a 10-start maiden who is knocking on the door after a narrow defeat last start over 1500m at Urawa after being prominent at the turn. Ideally placed to shed the maiden tag. HARMONY JOEY (1) finished 8 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1200m at Funabashi last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. One to consider. BENINO ANGEL (6) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by half a length last time out over 1500m at Urawa. Can measure up again.
6 05:30 Race 6 1400m
MERMAID SONG (7) is building towards a win with placings at her last two runs, the latest effort a third over 1400m at Urawa when beaten 2.75 lengths. Today might be her day. BAKLAVA (4) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1500m at Urawa last time. Form here at this trip is sound. Peaking now and likely to be in the finish. RIKO CARBINE (11) finished sixth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length after being in the firing line on the turn over 1400m at this track. No reason she cannot salute again. GLORIOUS ZOSMA (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at Urawa. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time.
7 05:57 Race 7 900m
TURINA WRIGHT (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 900m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SEIUN HUGE (4) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 3 lengths at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and four placings. Hiroki Okamura sticks. Should be in the finish. K TWO EURO (10) broke his maiden five starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 1.2 lengths into third over 900m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will be in this for a long way. ODAMAKI (2) was in the firing line on the turn and finished third last start over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 4 lengths. Ready to go a couple better.
8 06:38 Race 8 1400m
SHIGERU MACH (10) has strung together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on April 1 over 1400m when he scored by 30 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player again. INGENIUM (4) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in second over 1400m at this track. Solid run last time and will take catching again. DERMA TSURIDASHI (1) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 4 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track. Can come on from that run and looks a serious contender. KENJA (6) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fifth over 1500m here last time. Can figure in the finish.
9 07:06 Race 9 1500m
CAP (2) started at $2.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths at Urawa over 1400m. Has a good record at this course and distance, including three wins. Worth noting Hiroki Okamura goes aboard. This doesn't look as hard so he is set to turn things around. CLONIUS (6) returns from a break of four-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. DERMA NYMPH (5) returns from a layoff of seven months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1500m at this track. Has to be respected. T K MATE (8) was below her best last time, finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths over 1400m at Urawa. Finds a nice race and can atone.
10 07:37 Race 10 1600m
REIRI (6) started at $2.80 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Ohi over 2000m. Goes well at this journey with four wins and six placings from 11 starts and looks a top chance. KEN KIITOS (9) has registered three minor placings from three runs this campaign. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1400m at Ohi after he was prominent throughout. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. KEIAI MEKIRA (5) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 2 lengths. Has the talent to take care of this field. BAROQUE DANCE (12) finished seventh over 1800m at Kokura at her most recent appearance on January 28. Definite top-three chance.
11 08:18 Race 11 2100m
Multiple Grade 3 placegetter ICON TAILOR (7) has been in the money at both starts this time in work, the latest a third over 2100m at this track. Generally runs well third up from a spell so a big run is on the cards. AWESOME RESULT (10) last appeared when successful by 0.8 lengths over 1900m at Kyoto Dirt three-and-a-half months ago, the only time she went to the races last prep. Yutaka Take who has three wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. GRAND BRIDGE (4) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten a head, over 2100m at this track. Top strike rate at the journey with two wins and two placings from four starts and should be involved in the finish. Grade 3 winner RIOT GRRRL (5) is progressing well this preparation, scoring by 2 lengths last time out over 1870m at Sonoda. Likely to be there at the finish again.
12 08:50 Race 12 1400m
GOOD HELLO (5) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 7 lengths when fourth in a 900m contest at this track five weeks ago. Going up a level this time but she is good enough to play a major role. ATTACHEMENT (11) was well in commission last start over 1500m at this track when tenth, beaten 13 lengths. Can bounce back. MERIZO (3) showed little early speed last start and failed to come on in the straight when 11th, beaten 16 lengths, over 1500m at Urawa. Best figures read well. NOBLE CANYON (1) was comfortably accounted for when 12th last time out over 2000m at this track, beaten 45 lengths, after a win at this track at the previous outing. Can improve.
