NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:00 Race 1 850m
YUGAO (4) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by a neck over 850m at this track. In great form and is well-placed to feature again. MINANO KING (8) has been in great form with two placings in succession. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. BIG PIEN ROOF (9) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. A SHIN MAESTRO (2) is backing up a week after finishing seventh. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
2 12:30 Race 2 850m
DROTTNING (2) recorded another success last time over 850m at this track making it three straight wins this campaign. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. REGINA (6) lines up on the back of finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Among the top chances. THINKING SKY (3) was an impressive winner last time here, leading throughout and putting a healthy margin on his rivals. Must be included. BIG HIP ROOF (9) was also a handy winner last start that deserves plenty of respect. Keep in mind.
3 01:00 Race 3 1300m
TUNA ANDIE (4) has struggled to threaten of late but is better placed in this line-up and is ready to play a major role. EPANOUI (6) stepped out on her debut over 1000m at Morioka Dirt four weeks ago and finished sixth. Can improve sharply and is expected to feature. POINT BARRE (2) did little here last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth on debut at Morioka Dirt the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. YUYU PRISM (5) was safely held when fifth on debut last start. Tackles a longer journey this time. Deserves another chance.
4 01:35 Race 4 1300m
MIYAGI VOYAGER (5) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 850m at this track. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. BIREWECKA (1) made her debut last start and was just fair in finishing fourth at this track over 850m. Plenty of scope for improvement and worth following up. YOROZU CLEANSING (2) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1000m at Morioka Dirt in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hit-out so she should be in the finish. LAST RICHARD (3) finished fourth on debut then improved last start but found a couple better over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with solid prospects.
5 02:10 Race 5 1300m
MIYONO INAZUMA (7) showed good early speed from the inside draw last start before finishing second here. In the right race and is a winning hope. ENRY GLORIA (6) finished out of the money when fifth over 1300m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. MONTENARS (1) finished in sixth last time out over 850m at this track a week ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Can play a big role. SWEEPSTAKES (3) went back early from her wide draw over 1300m at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish fourth. Solid top-three hope.
6 02:45 Race 6 1300m
ECOLOGY GIRL (6) did a great job to score over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. CINQ ETOILE (8) was an impressive winner last time over 1300m at this track when leading throughout. One of the top chances again. MI DO DA FARE (7) finished fifth two runs back then did well last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten only one length after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. M ONE PIKO (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Looks to be in the right race so she should be in contention again.
7 03:20 Race 7 1300m
YAKURAI ROSE (4) turned in a fine effort to win dominantly at this course and distance last start which was an improvement on the first-up performance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. LORD ALBERTA (7) is on a quick turnaround after a solid third over 1400m at this track seven days ago. Strong run last time and is a definite winning chance. BLEU MONTAGNE (3) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth over 1300m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest. BARRAGE FIRE (8) next best.
8 03:55 Race 8 1400m
ENERGY FORTE (6) produced a good effort last start when second over 1400m at this track to make it four minor placings from seven starts this preparation. Should be poised just off the lead. Will give a great sight. KURA SABER (9) finished second at Morioka Dirt two runs back but was less effective last time. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. RE RE BOARD (4) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Well placed and should be in the finish again.

9 04:30 Race 9 850m
ECORO WARRIOR (2) finished second behind Ryuno Impulse at this track over this distance at his latest outing. Has never missed the frame at this course, including three wins and two placings. Expect a bold showing. EARTH HOUR (6) did little at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth at Morioka Dirt the run before. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MA LOULOUTTE (3) missed the placings last start when 5 lengths away in fifth at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RAIFORT (9) best of the rest.
10 05:05 Race 10 850m
RYUNO IMPULSE (7) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 850m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with five wins from six outings. Can measure up again. SHINY DUQUE (8) got the job done last start at this track over this distance after he was prominent at the bend. Has never been out of the money in three starts at this trip, including three wins. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. CAMARADE MARIE (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 850m after being in the firing line all the way. Expected to cross from wide out. Likely improver with strong prospects. S KUMA (5) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at Morioka Dirt two starts back then landed the prize by a neck last time out over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
11 05:40 Race 11 1600m
NEO NEO MODS (10) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Leading contender and will take catching. MONTSAINT IL VENTO (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1600m at this track when beaten one length. Yuichi Sakaguchi is back on and has a solid record on the seven-year-old, including two wins. Among the leading chances. MEISHO MEISUI (2) finished second at Morioka Dirt two runs back but was less effective last time over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to bounce back. PERPETUITY (3) next best.
12 06:15 Race 12 1600m
GOLDEN GIFT (9) finished seventh two runs back at Morioka Dirt then improved last time out to score by a neck after being in the firing line on the bend over 1600m at this track. No reason he cannot salute again. ADMIRE LEVIN (4) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break. Cherry-ripe now and is among the main hopes. ON THE BLOSSOM (1) ran below expectations last time at Morioka Dirt over 1000m, finishing eighth and beaten 2.5 lengths. Should be prominent from the low draw. One to consider. VARLAAM (3) finished 5 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1600m at Morioka Dirt last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Has a very good record here with four wins from six starts. Not to be discounted.
