NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:05 Race 1 1500m
AINO BEAT (10) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish fourth over 1700m at this track. Sure to be prominent from the outset. KIKUICHIMONJI (7) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. EAST VENTI (12) missed the frame last start when he settled well back over 920m at this track, finishing 11th. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. TSUKASA TRAIN (1) was sixth over 920m at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
2 12:35 Race 2 1500m
TOSEN ELIZABETH (9) was well fancied last start over 1500m at this track when fifth. Can bounce back. MEISHO OJIMA (12) was on the move turning for home and found the line strongly to finish third over 1500m at this track last time. Sure to go well. BELLE MARION (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 920m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. NAMURA ADAM (1) missed the frame last time when tenth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions and worth including here.
3 01:05 Race 3 1500m
RIGID WINGS (10) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when second over 1500m at this track when she was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ANZU (9) settled well back and turned in a sub-par run last time out over 1700m at this track after a nice win the start prior. Has the talent to take this out. PRINCIA TI AMO (1) has three placings from five appearances this campaign and last start finished a nose from the winner in second over 920m at this track. Another top-three finish is on the cards. KITANO RAINIER (7) went forward from the low draw last time before fading to finish fourth over 1500m at this track. Cannot be underestimated.
4 01:40 Race 4 1400m
SMASH THROUGH (5) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1500m at this track. Shaping up nicely and he is sure to go well. UME TEMARI (8) was prominent from the outset when second over 1400m at this track last time out. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Among the leading chances. DAISEN NEIGE (3) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when tenth over this journey at this track. Best figures measure up and worth another chance. SAINT TROPEZ (7) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over 1500m at this track only to fade late and finish fifth. Can feature in the finish here.
5 02:15 Race 5 1500m
SMART BIANCA (7) knuckled down strongly to get within 1.5 lengths of the winner in second last start over 1500m at this track. Commendable record at this trip with a win and two minor placings and should be hard to stop. HAKUSAN SHUTTLE (9) went forward last start over 1500m at this track and held on well for third. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. SYMBOL THE SUN (11) got home by one length last time out over 1500m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Hiroki Murakami sticks. Certainly one to consider. RAINBOW FLOWER (12) turned in a better run last start at the second run of the campaign when fourth over 1400m at this track. Fitter and a hope.
6 02:50 Race 6 1500m
PROMESSA (4) has been racing in great heart with three top-three finishes on end, the latest a third over 1500m at this track when she was handy all the way. Finds a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. SKILL HUNTER (10) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. SHONAN MANTLE (1) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 16th over 1800m at Kyoto. Forgive the last couple in tougher assignments. Can bounce back. FUKU BELLE E (9) drew wide and was pretty plain last time out when seventh at this course and distance. Backmarker who keeps coming. Sure to be competitive.
7 03:20 Race 7 1500m
PERSONA (3) returns after a break of three months. Last appeared when successful by half a length at this track over 1700m on March 26. A bright return to the track is anticipated. DEVANCEMENT (5) finished out of the money when seventh over 2000m at this track two weeks ago. Won't find this as tough so he is sure to be prominent. TITAN (4) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 920m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Can feature again. SPARKING BLUE (11) was fourth in a 1700m contest at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see him in the frame.
8 03:55 Race 8 1700m
SHIGERUTSUKIMIZAKE (12) finished among the placegetters last start when second at Kasamatsu over 1400m, beaten a head. Hasn't been far away this time in work with five minor placings from nine starts and expected to feature. GRASS MIRROR (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1700m at this track. Tackling a more suitable race so he can play a big role. ASTRO POWER (8) started at $4.80 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth at Kasamatsu over 1400m. Going up a level this time but he deserves another chance. OILMAN (4) was seventh over 1700m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
9 04:35 Race 9 1500m
DHANYAVAAD (8) improved sharply with a win as favourite over 1400m at Kasamatsu three weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. BRIGHT PHANTOM (7) missed the frame on turf, finishing ninth at Niigata over 2890m. Strong contender back on the dirt and worth another chance. BEYOND THE DREAM (1) finished fifth last start over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. EIFER LION (6) proved too strong two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when third over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Can bounce back to the winner's circle.
10 05:10 Race 10 1500m
SUMMER AGAIN (8) is still a maiden after eight starts. Could only manage to finish sixth last time out over 1600m at Kyoto following a minor placing at Kyoto when fresh from a spell the run prior. Can break through in this suitable contest. LA TORERA (9) finished third at this track over this distance at her latest outing. Has never missed the frame at this course, including two wins and two placings. Sure to be there at the business end. ALL THE GOOD (4) improved sharply with a win over 1500m at this track seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. IL MILIONE (6) took advantage of a low draw last time and led throughout, saluting by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature again.
11 05:45 Race 11 1500m
MASK TRY (2) followed an unplaced effort first-up with a second last start over 1500m. Key chance who can play a major role. KENDOCHORAI (5) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 4 lengths over 1700m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign and can measure up again. SANO PRE (11) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Kasamatsu. Definite top-three chance. MEISHO KOMUSUBI (12) was safely held when seventh last time out over 1700m at this track after a win here at the previous outing. Worth plenty of thought.
12 06:20 Race 12 1500m
ZEPHYR BAROWS (2) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Can make it back-to-back wins. NIHONPIRO GRIT (5) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 8 lengths at this track over 920m. Sure to take some stopping again. ECLAT DIVA (12) broke through for her maiden win over 1500m at this track last time. Breaks from a wide alley but she is a solid top-three hope. SURVIVAL CUTE (8) got the prize two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fifth over 1700m here. Can bounce back.
