NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:00 Race 1 1600m
WALD STAR (10) was in commission second up last start and was in the frame for the second time in as many runs this prep, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Overdue and gets his chance to break through. WHITE SHIP (12) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish 11th, beaten 15 lengths, over 2400m at Niigata. Well placed and expected to feature. LAST FRONTIER (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1400m at this track, beaten 11 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. HIGH WILLHAYS (9) resumes from a spell of six months and looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1400m at this track. Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix.
2 02:35 Race 2 1200m
REAL MAJESTY (4) is resuming from a spell of ten months and having her first run for the Yoichi Sasaki yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Monbetsu over 1100m. Hard to beat despite the layoff. REVE TULIS (6) resumes from a spell of nine weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Bold showing expected. JITSUNOSUKE (5) is still a maiden after four runs. Was well in commission last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1200m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. JUST A HALO (3) finished 19 lengths away in tenth at her last appearance over 1600m at this track on June 4 after she was well back on straightening. This looks a nice race so expect her to finish closer.
3 03:10 Race 3 1600m
REGINA TIARA (5) returned last time with a solid third at this track over 1600m. In the right race and is one of the big hopes. SHOMA (9) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when 13th over 1400m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. WIE GEHT'S (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth. Can improve. KAZENO YONI (8) finished tenth over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance on February 29. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
4 03:45 Race 4 1200m
GENERAL RICH (6) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 3.5 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SUIHEISEN (14) impressed when successful on debut over 1200m at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. SILENT NYA (3) again failed to feature last start, finishing 12th and beaten 24 lengths over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed and a bold showing is expected. YAMASHO CHARISMA (4) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 11 lengths away in seventh over 1200m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone.
5 04:20 Race 5 1600m
KEIAI BAZARA (11) finished 5.5 lengths back in tenth over 1200m at this track last time out after a gutsy win the start prior. Is a winner at this circuit. Will be hard to stop. MAMA'S COFFEE (2) is a consistent performer with five minor placings from eight starts this time in work. Produced another good effort at her most recent run when second over 1600m at this track after she was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. ATAMI SEIKO (7) finished 10 lengths away in tenth last time out over 1200m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will be in this for a long way. TWILIGHT LADY (3) finished 15 lengths from the winner in seventh at her most recent outing over 1600m at this track. In the mix.
6 04:55 Race 6 1200m
NEO MEGAMI (13) is in top form lately scoring two wins on end, including a determined 6 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Rates as the testing material again. FLEUR DE REGINA (6) started at $3.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths at this track over 1200m after being in contention on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. RIKO HAMMERLI (2) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at this track, beaten 2 lengths. Right in the mix. BRAVE SOUND (3) showed early speed from an outside draw last start and raced on the pace before boxing on well to finish third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
7 05:30 Race 7 2000m
TRANSCENDENTAL (11) hasn’t been far away since a maiden win four runs back, the latest effort a second over 1800m at this track on June 3. Among the leading chances again. WEIGHT JUDGE (9) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1800m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. HAPPY TIME (14) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 6 lengths over 1600m at this track. Sure to be competitive. WEISER BARCO (1) lines up for the first time since March 18. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at this track. One to consider.
8 06:05 Race 8 1600m
BIG AMERICAN (3) went fast early over 1600m at this track last time and went on to score by 5 lengths. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. RAVISH (1) was well fancied last start over 1600m at this track when seventh, beaten 8 lengths. Can bounce back. MEINER BOMBER (4) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being prominent at the bend over 1600m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. BULLBEAR NANO (5) was beaten 8 lengths into fourth in a 1800m contest at this track three-and-a-half weeks ago. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
9 06:45 Race 9 1400m
GLETSCHER (3) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in second when resuming last start at this track over this distance. Form over this journey is strong, boasting five wins from seven starts. Taito Mori who has four wins when partnering stays on. Will strip fitter and should go close. SHARP MUSTANG (6) is a last-start winner over 1400m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 0.8 lengths. This is his optimum trip with three wins from four starts and is expected to feature. NEXT BREAK (1) was allowed to drift back from an outside draw last time but found the line strongly to finish fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. RAISE YOUR LIMIT (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 18 lengths into 11th. Nicely placed to find some form.
10 07:25 Race 10 1200m
KITANO RYAN (7) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1200m. Yoichi Ando has registered two minor placings when on board. Best form puts him right in this. VIKRANT (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 1000m at this track. Ideally placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. BELIEVE HORSE (8) resumes in a similar race to his last run three-and-a-half months ago when seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths. Can make his presence felt. MATERA HACHI ICHI (11) went back early from his wide draw over 1200m at this track last time but hit the line strongly to finish fourth. Can feature in the finish.
11 08:10 Race 11 2000m
This is the Grade 1 Teio Sho. Grade 1 placegetter WILSON TESORO (8) is back from a spell of three months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 2100m at Kanazawa. Likely to take beating. Grade 3 placegetter KING'S SWORD (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Funabashi, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat. Grade 1 placegetter NOTTURNO (5) led throughout last time over 2100m at Nagoya and scored a comfortable win. Positive ride expected again and should prove tough to beat. SAYONO NATURE (4) has won 12 from 14 and is unbeaten in two runs this preparation, including a track and distance victory last start. Had to fault form and can continue winning run.
12 08:50 Race 12 1400m
MAZAO (6) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at this track. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is right in contention. NANSEI RAPID (10) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth, beaten 5 lengths, when returning after a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Likely to measure up. BORN GENIUS (1) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing 15th at this track over 2000m. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. STAR OF FAITH (11) was allowed to drift back from a wide draw last time before finding the line strongly to score by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Will be doing his best work late.
