NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:20 Race 1 1400m
WONDER AUMENT (5) was prominent at the bend and finished third last time over 1400m at this track when resuming from a spell. Placed to advantage and can take this out. PLERION (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell. Well place first-up and can feature on best figures. MIRACLE ZADA (2) finished out of the money two starts back when tenth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. MOULIN CHATAIN (8) drew wide and was pretty plain last time. A better showing is expected.
2 12:55 Race 2 1700m
BUTTERFLY LOCK (10) raced in the leading division and kept going to score by half a length last time out over 820m at this track. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to take this out. A SHIN SOL (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders. CHERRY TIME (1) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 1.75 lengths to spare over 1400m at this track. Record here is impressive with two wins from six starts. Among the top-three hopes. Last start winner SHINZEN HACHIMAN (9) also holds appeal and should be kept safe.
3 01:35 Race 3 1400m
R WIZARD (3) is usually thereabouts but doesn't win out of turn. Tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. SUN ELSA (10) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CRIMSON RED (7) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings. One to consider. ITCHO (5) lines up on the back of finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. One of the main contenders.
4 02:15 Race 4 1400m
DAUGHTER OF NILE (5) improved sharply on her sixth two starts back at this track with success as public elect over 1400m at this track three weeks ago, getting home comfortably. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. MON SHUTTLE (6) showed good pace over 1230m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by a head. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is good enough to take this out. LOVE CURREN (1) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Less impressive last time out. Best figures measure up. Can bounce back sharply. RUGGER VIVE (3) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start in a far better effort. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race.
5 02:55 Race 5 820m
FEEL HAPPINESS (4) is on debut for the Tomotaka Morisawa stable. Two-year-old colt by Espoir City from Feel The Light. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. KURINO AKATSUKI (5) is appearing for the first time. By American Patriot and comes from the Tadaaki Hashimoto stable. Respect any positive move in betting. KONEKOCHAN (1) is a two-year-old filly by Bulldog Boss out of My Latitia stepping out on debut for the Ishibashi Mitsuru stable. Sure to acquit herself well. Betting the key. SNOWDAY (3) is appearing for the first time. By New Year's Day and is out of the Yoshihiro Iida stable. Worth watching for a betting push.
6 03:25 Race 6 1400m
EMBLEM (1) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second. Certainly deserves another chance. VICTORY EYE (6) didn't do a bad job when second last start after being prominent at the bend, beaten a head. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. COORDINATOR (4) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing third and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Likely improver with strong prospects. PROBABLE CHANGE (3) best of the rest.
7 03:55 Race 7 1400m
TAMBA AZUKI (3) turned in a fine effort to win by a head at this track and distance last start in a far better run. Finds another suitable race and can play a major role again. SUNRISE GREAT (1) lifted strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1400m at this track. Has race fitness on his side now. Nicely placed to take this out. FACE NINE (5) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. ALFENIM (2) finished fourth in a 1400m contest at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
8 04:25 Race 8 1400m
LA VIE EN (1) is a talented type who recently returned from a break and made it seven straight wins, scoring dominantly over 1400m at this track. Far too good last time out and will take beating again. S T FIN (7) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by a length over 1400m at this track. Has three wins here. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has two wins when partnering stays on. Leading contender.

Has started four times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. MEISHO AKATSUKI (6) next best.
9 04:55 Race 9 1400m
JHANG MAGHIANA (1) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line all the way. Nicely placed to find winning ways. GOOD HABITS (5) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1400m at this track. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. HONEY LOCO SKIP (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1400m. Best figures measure up nicely. Can do a lot better. HANG TIME (7) next best.

VUELA FUERTE (2) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1700m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. STARKEY (4) led throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win here. One of the top chances again. MISTILTEINN (3) resumed over 1400m at this track last start and could only manage fourth. Has a solid second-up record and has plenty of upside with the run under his belt. Solid winning chance in this line up. REBELLIOUS HEART (6) next best.
11 06:00 Race 11 1230m
A SHIN BIG BOSS (5) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1230m after being in the firing line all the way. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. LUX RAMPAGE (2) fought on for third last start over 820m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. This doesn't look as hard so he is sure to be right there at the finish. TRINITY KNOT (1) comes here off a break of seven months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1230m at this track. Can make his presence felt. GREEN THEATER (3) should improve with the first-up run out of the way. Keep safe.
12 06:30 Race 12 1400m
IN A WINK (8) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1400m, finishing fourth. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances.

LAST FANTASY (1) did little and finished in sixth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her fifth at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. SOLIS LUX (7) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
