Race 1 1400m
CARMINA BURANA (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Funabashi, beaten 2 lengths after being prominent at the corner. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. SENACHANNO YUME (5) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten a neck, over 1200m at Funabashi. Masashige Honda has registered two minor placings when on board. Sure to play a big role. MIND THE HELM (6) travelled in a rearwards position then made some inroads and finished 5.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at Funabashi three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Backmarker who gets home hard. Will prove tough to stop. VINA SAIGON (8) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track, beaten 10 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. |

Race 2 1400m
BENINO ANGEL (4) pushed forward and led throughout to score a one length win over 1400m at this track last time. Winning rider aboard again and best form puts her right in this. ANAHA (5) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten one length. Likely improver with strong prospects. GOLD OR HEARTS (3) missed the placings two runs back then was never in contention last start when 13 lengths away in ninth over 900m at Kawasaki. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. AGU RICHEBOURG (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Funabashi over 1200m after he got a long way back in the run. Likely improver who should be thereabouts. |

Race 3 1400m
DEMAIN FLEUR (7) was in contention all the way and fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. VALENTE (8) resumes after a break of 12 weeks. Hoping for a repeat of his debut win over 1400m at this track to kick off last prep. Key runner. CROWN PANTO (6) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1400m at this track, scoring by a neck. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she cannot be underestimated. BRAVO BRAVO (9) was safely held when sixth last time out over 1400m at Kawasaki, beaten 14 lengths, after a win at Kawasaki at the previous outing. In the mix. |

Race 4 1400m
RADISH DANCE (10) showed good pace and went on to score by 6 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be on-pace despite the tricky draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. CROSBY (9) finished fourth at this track over this distance last time out. Form over this journey is strong, boasting two wins from four starts. Should be prominent from the outset. Among the leading chances. UNSUNG HEROINE (1) finished 13 lengths adrift in 12th last time at this track in a disappointing performance. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she can win if at her best. SHINY IDOL (3) never got into the race when 12th last time at Kawasaki but drops in weight for this. Rates among the hopes on best form. |

Race 5 1500m
TSUKUBA MARIA (3) is back at the races for the first time since November 24. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1500m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. GINZADE NOMU OTOKO (5) used the low draw last time and bounced straight to the lead, turning in front before fading to finish fourth over 1200m at Funabashi. Expected to go close. TRINITARIANISM (2) has switched yards since finishing 12th three weeks ago over 1500m at Funabashi. Comes here with definite top-three claims. BERYLUNE (4) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at Kawasaki over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run. |

Race 6 1500m
APPRAISER (2) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks the testing material again. LANI'S GRACE (4) pushed forward from a wide draw last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish second over 1500m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. SMILE POPPY (3) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 4.5 lengths when fourth over 1500m at Funabashi three weeks ago. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ADVENT EVE (5) was beaten 9 lengths into fifth in a 1600m contest at Kawasaki eight days ago. Better than recent efforts suggest. |

Race 7 1400m
HUBBLE (4) was a strong winner last time over 1500m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths and in line for a hat-trick here. Looks well placed again here. ZINFIN DOLL (9) scored by 6 lengths last start over this journey at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Rates highly and can measure up. VAINQUEUR CITY (6) finished seventh two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. LORD OF ISA CHIL (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 13 lengths. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat. |

Race 8 1400m
AKRASIA (9) made it two wins in a row last time out when he scored by one length over 1300m at Saga. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is right in contention. ABRUMADOR (10) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1500m at this track four months ago. Has a decent record at this track with three minor placings from four runs. Likely to feature. LOGI MUSTANG (2) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish 12th over 1400m at Kawasaki in a disappointing performance. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. LES COPAINS MOMMY (5) ran a better race when second-up last start, finishing 4.5 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at this track. Chance based off that. |

Race 9 1400m
YAMAJUN HIBANA (3) finished fifth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths after being prominent at the turn over 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is good enough to cope. TOSEN GENIAL (2) showed good early speed when resuming last start over today's journey at this track before finishing second, beaten 6 lengths. Going up a level this time but he has the ability to mix it with them. RURIIRO (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth, beaten 6 lengths, at Funabashi over 1200m. Can bounce back. RYUNO RED EYE (5) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 17 lengths into fifth. Possible improver. |

Race 10 1500m
KAZU ORVAL (10) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be close to the speed despite the draw. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CURREN CHUNKY (6) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished 12th when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track then improved and scored over 1500m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by a neck after being in the firing line on the corner. Going up a level this time but she can win again. IDEA NO KISEKI (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at Kawasaki. Not as effective last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. RYOTA SPECIAL (9) improved sharply last time out to score by 4 lengths over 1600m at Funabashi two-and-a-half weeks ago. Strong chance again. |

Race 11 1400m
AUSTRO (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1500m at this track last time. Has a solid record here over this trip. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Best form puts him right in this. HAKUSAN ORIHIME (9) went fast early over 1500m at Funabashi last time and went on to score by 3 lengths. Can cross from an awkward gate. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is good enough to play a major role. ROAR VENT FLARE (5) finished fourth, beaten 6 lengths, last time out over 1500m at this track. Has a very good record here including four wins from seven starts. Capable of running a big race. SUN DUBUQUE (1) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 900m at Kawasaki, beaten 9 lengths into ninth. No surprise to see him in the frame. |

Race 12 2000m
DEEP TRUST (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 7 lengths away in second over 2000m at this track when she was handy all the way. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MAONO JET (7) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1800m at Funabashi to make it two in succession. Has a high cruising speed. Will play a major role. NISHINO TENKAFUBU (9) drifted back over 1500m here last time before winding up late to finish sixth, beaten 4 lengths. Worth including. TAMAMO KOMPEITO (12) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 2000m at this track. Finds a nice race and can keep improving. |
