NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:40 Race 1 1200m
SUN KAGUYAHIME (2) showed she has some talent on debut last start when she found one better at this track over 1000m. Should enjoy a nice run off the low draw. Expected to go on with it. CRY OF THE EARTH (4) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up and well placed here. ALMA ROSARIO (12) finished fourth when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Should be involved in the finish. MIDNIGHT BERN (11) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1200m at this track. Cannot be disregarded.
2 03:15 Race 2 1200m
B B BASILIS (4) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second over 1200m at this track. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. FATE GASSAN (8) gave a bold display over this course and distance when resuming last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish third. Likely improver with bright prospects. UBUD (1) held on well to finish third when first-up from a break last time out over 1000m at this track after leading for much of the way. Well-placed and expected to feature again. BIJOUX MEFA'A (9) turned in another moderate effort last start when seventh over 1000m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth including.
3 03:45 Race 3 1000m
THOROUGH SEVEN (6) broke through for her maiden win over 1000m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Fuma Ono stays aboard and she is likely to feature in the finish again. NEVE (2) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track two weeks ago. Promising type who can go back-to-back. PYRO DE KISEKI (3) was well in the market first up from a spell last start over 1200m at this track but was safely held in fifth. Winning rider Masaaki Kuwamura stays aboard. One of the contenders. SUMMER DREAM (5) was a disappointing tenth at the second run back from a break in a 1000m contest at this track a week ago. Will strip fitter and is in the mix.
4 04:20 Race 4 1000m
A SHIN DAZZLE (10) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1100m at this track in a tougher race. Drawn out but he should pay to follow. BOND STREET (6) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1000m at this track in a tougher race. Promising type with improvement to come. VIGOROUS DAYS (8) will find this a little easier than his second on debut two weeks ago over 1100m at this track. Breaks from a wide draw but he can feature again. SING OUT (5) was always well back on debut last start but boxed on fairly to finish fourth over 1000m at this track. Shapes as one to consider.
5 04:55 Race 5 1100m
ETERNAL WIND (4) is on debut for the Hideki Kakugawa stable. Two-year-old filly by Asia Express from Papa Loves Mambo. Expected to go well, with betting a key indicator. T'S LINK (2) is on debut for the Nozomi Ono stable. Two-year-old filly by Hatano Vainqueur from Hatano Cendrillon. Looks set for a bright start. Watch for positive market leads. KISEKIO NOZOMUNARA (3) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Junji Tanaka. By Danon Legend from Due Bellini. Bold showing expected. A SHIN AZALEA (5) is appearing for the first time. By A Shin Hikari and is out of the Noboru Yonekawa stable. Top-three chance.
6 05:25 Race 6 1200m
DAINO KOKUO (1) lightly raced four-year-old entire who recorded an impressive win when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, scoring with a bit in hand. Ready to take the next step. Leading contender. TAISEI GUST (7) was well held in tougher company two back then last time sat on the pace and stuck on well to finish second over 1200m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment here and rates among the leading chances. VILLE BLACK HILL (2) finished ninth over 1200m at this track last time out. Looks suited here and can feature. SEIRAN KUROFUNE (6) was prominent at the corner and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race.
7 05:55 Race 7 1000m
CHAKRABATI (7) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1000m at this track when fourth. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time. MISS NANNA (5) did a good job last start to finish second over 1000m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run here. KURO NOIR (2) was prominent at the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1000m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. SIGLA DEA (3) missed the frame last start over 1000m at this track, finishing sixth. Capable of better so worth considering.
8 06:25 Race 8 1600m
JUSTIN BEACH (7) was thereabouts when resuming last start over 1700m at this track, finishing fifth. Loves racing here and has managed two wins from four visits. Bold showing expected. SATONO TRIUMPH (9) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on to finish second over 1700m at this track. Solid run last time and could take catching again. YELLOW IRIS (1) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by one length over 1200m here last time out. Will give a sight again. YAMANIN DONATI (4) ran a better race last start to finish fifth over 1200m here. Stepping up in distance this time and is worth consideration.
9 06:55 Race 9 1000m
QUATTRO SAUVAGE (1) is a genuine four-year-old entire who resumed with a solid second last time out at this track over 1000m. Will be better for the run and can go on with it. STORY TIME (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.5 lengths at today's track and distance when first-up from a layoff last time out. No reason he cannot salute again. MARINO SCHREIEN (7) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Could be hard to beat again in this suitable race. SPES AGITO (10) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was sixth over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
10 07:30 Race 10 1200m
BRICK ROAD (5) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Can go on with it. T O POSSIBLE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Steps up a level but he is fitter and up to the task. RIKO RYUSEI (2) ran on well to get up for third at a huge quote at his latest appearance at this track over 1200m. Good signs last time and can feature in the finish. FUJINO PANTHER (3) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was eighth over 1200m at this track. Fitter this time an can take a hand in the finish.

EBANISTA (5) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a spell last start before fighting on well to finish third over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. STEEL STORM (1) resumed two weeks ago over 1200m at this track and was only beaten 2 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Has a very strong second up record so anticipating a better run this time. LOFTY PHRASE (4) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a break last start. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. SMART ALTAIR (9) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was sixth over 1200m at this track. Fitter and can improve into the placings here.
12 08:40 Race 12 1800m
BELL PIT (7) scored an impressive 30-length win when resuming from a spell last time out over 1800m at this track. Has never missed the frame second-up and is a great chance to get the prize again. S'IL TE PLAIT (6) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was seventh over 2100m at Kawasaki. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. DAIMEI CORRIDA (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of a big performance. Grade 2 winner SUAVE ARAMIS (2) was last at the races when he finished fifth over 2100m at Kawasaki on February 1. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Junji Tanaka. Should be primed for this.
