NUM	TIME	COMMENT
1	10:40	Race 1 1400m LORD LIGHTNING (3) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Certainly deserves another chance. KOKUSEMPU (5) was popular with punters last time out but could only manage fifth over 1400m at this track. Finds the right race and can get off the mark this time. HIIRAGI (6) was prominent at the corner and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to go a couple better. A SHIN PENELOPE (2) missed the placings last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
2	11:10	Race 2 1400m COCOLI VALKYRIE (6) missed the placings last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Tough to beat if near her best. YAMATAKE FREEDOM (5) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish sixth over 820m at this track in a disappointing performance. Out in trip and must be respected. YAMAICHI LOVELY (7) finished sixth last time out over 820m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Among the chances. TASMAN HIGHWAY (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish third over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can secure another top-three finish.
3	11:40	Race 3 1400m MEISHO KOSHI (1) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Expected to improve and gets his chance. CAN I SING (4) course and distance winner who last start finished fourth when second-up over 1400m at this track. Has the ability and fitter is among the leading hopes. LIGHT BRAVE (6) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. STAR WIN (2) turned in an encouraging run at this course and distance last time, winding up strongly to finish fourth. One to watch for late in the piece.
4	12:15	Race 4 1230m UMA PYOI (4) impressed when returning from a break last time at this track, finishing fourth at the end of 1400m. Strips fitter and is well-placed to take this out. WORLD PEKO (5) failed to live up to market expectations last start when out of the placings over 820m at this track. Out in trip and nicely placed to make amends. GRASS VIGOR (6) finished fifth last time out over 820m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Steps up in journey today and has the pace to settle in the leading division. One of the main contenders. GARO (7) missed the frame last start when fourth over 820m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a better run this time.
5	12:50	Race 5 1400m EXOSOME (3) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Closed off last prep in great form including a dominant win over 1400m at Himeji at her most appearance. Should be prominent from the outset and is among the leading chances. PIROKO GIGA MAX (9) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1870m at this track as favourite. Can atone. LAC PUER (2) returns after a spell of four months. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Makes plenty of appeal freshl. SUNRISE SALAH (8) finished ninth at his last appearance over 1700m at this track on April 18. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race for him.
6	01:25	Race 6 1400m A LA MODE SIENNE (6) registered a strong win here two runs ago then last time out finished second over 1400m at this track. Can go on with it. ORENO SUGOWAZA (8) was safely held when third last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Likely improver with strong prospects. SIENA QUEEN (3) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and found the front, holding the lead for most of the way and sticking on well to finish second over 1400m at this track. Will push forward again and is among the chances. HIMARIN (5) showed good early speed over 1400m at this track last time and went on to salute by 1.5 lengths. Among the top-three contenders.
7	02:00	Race 7 1400m MEISHO RANZAN (3) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 1400m at this track. Best fresh figures put him right in this. CHARMY EYES (9) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and she can make amends. TENKU WORLD (7) is ready to win after collecting his fourth minor placing in a row last time over 1400m at this track. Takashi Nakata who has two wins when partnering stays on. Likely improver with strong claims. LOVE AND GRACE (1) missed the placings when 11th over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
8	02:35	Race 8 820m SHINZEN ITOSAN (6) had been racing consistently, finishing in the money three races on end, until finishing fourth as favourite last time out over 820m at this track. Good record at this journey with two wins and seven minor placings from 11 starts and is expected to be in the finish. MEISHO KORAN (3) settled well back last start and made little impact in the straight when fourth over this journey at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FRAISE VANILLE (5) went to the paddock after scoring at her only appearance last prep three-and-a-half months ago over 800m at Himeji. Can kick off the campaign with a win. GEIJUTSUGAKUBU (1) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2.5 lengths win over 820m at this track. Major player again.
9	03:10	Race 9 820m SATOSHI RISE (6) handy entire who returned to the winners' list last start over 820m at this track. Going well and likely to be there at the finish again. RYUNO HINAKO (1) was in a different class last time, registering a dominant 2-length win over 820m at this track to make it two in succession. Has an impressive strike rate at this distance with three wins from six runs and is sure to go well. VULCAIN (8) settled well back when a disappointing 11th in a 1400m contest at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Faces an easier assignment so she is likely to play a big role. RISKY WHISKY (2) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Well placed to turn things around.
10	03:40	Race 10 1400m UNA (6) did a great job to score by 3.5 lengths over today's course and distance last time out to continue her outstanding recent form. Looks well placed so expect another big run. IN A WINK (2) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by 1.5 lengths when resuming last time out over 1400m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed and he is right in contention. CHIEF IN THE SKY (5) improved sharply with a win over 1400m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but he has the ability to test this field. BELLAGIO UMAMUSUKO (7) finished third over 1400m at Himeji at his most recent appearance on March 5. Sure to make his presence felt.
11	04:15	Race 11 1700m GRIND OUT (6) was heavily backed and justified the support when resuming last start over 1800m at Saga, scoring by one length. Was a winner at the only previous second-up run and is a great chance to get the prize again. NIJIIRO HARPY (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1700m at Nagoya. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. ZAO (5) has been about the money at each run this prep, the latest offering a second over 1700m at Nagoya. Should be poised just off the lead and is capable of testing this field. PRIME ROSE (9) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fifth over 1700m at Nagoya. Will be putting in the big strides late and worth including.
12	04:50	Race 12 1400m ISE BAY (6) went fast early and went on to score by 1.75 lengths when resuming last time out over 1230m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to figure in the finish. PIKKU PRINSSI (2) is an ultra-consistent entire who hasn't missed a place in his last nine starts and a four time winner in the sequence. Rates a winning chance. NAMURA OLIVIA (9) was ridden quietly then made a little ground and finished eighth last time out over 820m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Has won five races at this course and distance from 10 tries and is one of the main contenders. MEISHO KAJIKI (12) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.3 lengths at this course and distance when resuming from a break last time out. No reason he cannot salute again.
