NUM	TIME	COMMENT
1	03:00	Race 1 1400m HACHAN (5) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at this track. Should take some stopping. DINO SHOMYO (9) is a five-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at Urawa. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. FATAL TOUR (8) raced once in the maiden preparation when fourth at this track over 1400m back on January 5. Top-three chance with that run under her belt. MIYUKI JO OSAMA (1) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 10 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1200m at Ohi after she gave away a big start. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve.
2	03:30	Race 2 1400m SUN HUNTSVILLE (1) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Urawa, finishing second and only one length from the winner at the end of 1500m after being in contention on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. CANTONA (6) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a third at Urawa two starts back then scored by one length last time out over 1500m at Urawa. Has her share of talent. Right in this. NIJITO TARTE (2) resumed over 1400m at this track last time out and finished second, beaten 7 lengths. Has never been out of the placings at the second run back from a spell from four tries and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Expected to feature. MEGA MILLION (11) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1500m at Urawa most recently. Among the leading chances.
3	04:00	Race 3 1500m KEY FINE (9) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HARMONY ORION (4) started at $3 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing eighth over 1400m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. YOUR SORA (11) missed the frame as favourite last time over 1500m at Urawa after he had won two races on end. Mai Fukuhara who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Certainly one to consider. PICARESQUE SMILE (12) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Urawa over 1500m. Won't need to improve much.
4	04:30	Race 4 1400m POTENZA (10) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a wide gate to overcome but he is likely to feature in the finish again. DIRT RAISING (8) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when second over 1500m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and can rediscover winning form. TOMONO CRYSTAL (12) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1400m at Urawa when resuming from a spell, beaten a neck. Likely improver with bright prospects. VIKANDER (1) was a gutsy winner two runs back then ran fourth over 1400m at this track on April 5. Top-three chance.
5	05:00	Race 5 1400m CRETEIL (4) broke through for his maiden win over 1500m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish. YOSHINO MITCHI (6) has had two runs since a break, the latest a third over 1500m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Has scope for improvement so he is among the winning hopes. HARMONY SHINE (10) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a nose from the winner in second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Strong chance. LINGUS SWEET (5) was prominent at the corner and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out.
6	05:30	Race 6 1600m EMMELINA (4) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2 lengths. Sure to measure up again. LAVENDER JADE (7) scored by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell last start. Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this circuit. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. SPINACH VIPER (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when sixth in a 1600m contest at this track five weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Ryuji Tatsushiro gets the best out of this three-year-old filly. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. AINO CHANTILLY (2) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Urawa. No surprise to see her in the frame.
7	06:00	Race 7 1500m TSUKASA REVS (7) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ESPRIT GONZALEZ (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by half a length over 1500m at this track. Drawn to go forward again. Finds a tougher race but a win is not out of the question. COSMOS MITCHI (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into seventh. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. RETRACER (10) has accrued eight minor placings from 12 runs this preparation. Continued the trend last start when runner-up over 1500m at this track. Should be in the finish again.
8	06:30	Race 8 1600m INNER STEEL (4) is a promising entire yet to miss the frame after four starts, including three wins. Has not been produced since he got the prize over 1500m at this track on January 30. Naoki Machida who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Likely to feature. BEACH SAVIOUR (6) changes rider since being well held last time in eighth over 1500m at this track on April 4. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix. ROYAL ZAP (2) last appeared six weeks ago over 1870m at Sonoda when he finished sixth. This is his first run for the Seiichi Kato stable. Has found the right race and is worth including. NOBU HENDRIX (1) finished 3.5 lengths behind the winner in fifth place when resuming over 1500m last start at this track. Has a decent second up record. Likely improver.
9	07:05	Race 9 1400m PARTY MODE (11) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four outings. Leading player again. WIN OISE (10) showed good pace and went on to score by 3 lengths last time out over 1400m at Urawa. Has to overcome a tricky draw. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MEISHO KOJIRO (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Niihara Shuma stays aboard and he cannot be underestimated. MONONOFU RED (5) is a maiden who has filled a minor placing four times in seven starts. Failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last start, beaten 19 lengths into 11th over 1400m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Must be respected.
10	07:40	Race 10 900m HAHNDORF (4) turned in a handy position before finishing second last start over 900m at this track, beaten a neck as favourite. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. GALE (10) finished fourth over this distance, beaten 0.9 lengths, at his latest outing. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring eight times from 12 starts. Ryo Novata who has scored on him six times retains the mount. Best form puts him right in this. SEEK THE TRUTH (3) last appeared five weeks ago over 900m at this track when she finished eighth. This is her first run for the Takayuki Hayashi stable. Can make her presence felt. PAI ZIELEN (5) hit the frame two starts ago at Urawa but ran below par last time when 11th and beaten 5.5 lengths over 800m at Urawa. Open to improvement and should be about the mark.
11	08:15	Race 11 1500m LIVI FACE (2) lines up for the first time since August 10. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at Urawa. Expect him to play a major role. TONOPAH (11) has returned in good shape this preparation. Opened with a second at Urawa two starts back then got the job done by 2.5 lengths last time out over 1500m at this track. Meets some better types this time but another win is not out of the question. GREAT JOURNEY (1) scored first up at this track then finished 5.5 lengths away in sixth over 1600m at Ohi. Generally runs well third up from a spell so a top-three finish is on the cards. VAVILOV (7) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 7 lengths into ninth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
12	08:50	Race 12 2000m D'ARGENTO (9) went forward last start over 2000m at this track and held on well for second, beaten 0.8 lengths. In a suitable race and can go on to take this out. SILVER SADDLE (7) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by half a length over 2000m at Urawa. Will prove very tough to beat. AL AMAL (4) is a 13-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid fourth at this track over 1500m after she came from well back on the corner. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of a big performance. ROUGE MABELLE (11) finished ninth when resuming from a spell for a new stable and tackling a dirt track for the first time at this track over 1400m last start. Better for the first outing on this surface and is a definite each-way hope.
