NUM TIME COMMENT
1 03:00 Race 1 1400m
FATAL TOUR (6) was below her best last time, finishing sixth here. Beautifully placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. VITALISI (8) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished in fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. This doesn't look as hard so she is a major player. MIYUKI JO OSAMA (10) is a seven-start maiden. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. MAIASAURA (3) best of the rest.
2 03:30 Race 2 1400m
HEALING PIPI (7) went forward last start at Saga and held on well for third. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to test this line-up. KICK ARTHUR (6) is a four-start maiden who returned last time and finished seventh at this track. Improvement to come and this is her chance to break through. FUKUROKUJU (4) finished third last start here when he did his best work late. Ideally placed and is among the key chances. AVENIR BONHEUR (9) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh. Deserves another chance.
3 04:00 Race 3 900m
GOD FINGER (7) is a two-year-old colt by Cheval Grand out of Patrizia on debut for the Kenichi Takatsuki stable. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. DERE ANELA (3) is on debut for the Yoshihisa Suzuki stable. Two-year-old filly by Moanin from Ready Go. Expected to go well, with betting a key indicator. YUME DREAM (6) is on debut for the Yuya Yamazaki stable. Two-year-old colt by Gold Dream from Never Ending. Keep an eye on betting moves. HAYAKU KOIKOI (1) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Juichi Tajima. By New Year's Day from Belle Mer. Top-three chance.
4 04:30 Race 4 900m
COMPOST (5) is a two-year-old filly by Roses In May out of River Lass Bell stepping out on debut for the Hiroaki Kawazu stable. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. JEWELRY KAGURA (1) is on debut for the Shoichi Hirata stable. Two-year-old filly by Oval Ace from Toko Jewelry. Looks set to run well. Betting watch recommended. BEAR BAKKYUN (6) is a first-starter by Mozu Ascot from Gold Massimo who has produced a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Should be thereabouts despite a difficult draw. RABBITS BIKE (3) is a two-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Junichi Yoshihashi. By Happy Sprint from Menuett City. Worth watching for a betting push.
5 05:00 Race 5 1400m
VARISTOR (11) turned in a fine effort to score by a length over this course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MILLION LIVE (2) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third at Urawa when she was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. KOHANA (6) missed the placings last start. Better placed this time and is worth keeping safe. ANACAPRI (5) is another that has been struggling of late but is capable of featuring in this line-up.
6 05:30 Race 6 900m
COPANO DURBAN (6) returns from a layoff of 12 weeks. Scored over 800m at Kochi to launch the last campaign. Now under the care of new trainer Yuya Yamazaki. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. SHAWSHANK (5) broke through for his maiden win last start by a neck over 1400m at Urawa despite being unwanted in betting. Shaping up nicely and he should be in the finish again. WAKEGA WAKARANAIYO (11) started at $7.30 last time and ran below expectations at Funabashi. Finds a nice race and can turn things around. COCONUT CUTE (4) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 900m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
7 06:00 Race 7 1400m
CINDERELLA SUMMER (4) balanced up towards the tail off a low draw last time before running on hard to score here. Has a win and six minor placings at this journey from nine starts and should be in the finish. YAMAJUN HIBANA (2) finished fifth two runs back at Urawa then improved last time out to score after being in contention on the corner at Urawa. Nicely placed to feature in the finish again. WIN PRIMUS (3) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Not as effective last time out. Has her share of ability and is worth considering. KOTOR (7) next best.
8 06:30 Race 8 1500m
RHEIN STRYKER (10) built on a nice third two starts back at Urawa with a win over 1500m at Urawa two weeks ago, getting home comfortably. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is good enough to take this out. RAPID FLOW (1) hasn't won recently but looks close to a breakthrough based on her last start third at this track. One of the leading contenders again. YOU ROCK DUDE (3) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at Funabashi. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. TSUWAMONO (9) can sneak into the frame at each-way odds.
9 07:05 Race 9 1400m
GEMSTONE (1) improved last time out, finishing third over this track and trip after being in the firing line on the bend. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be overlooked. HARMONY SHINE (8) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. MAGNOLIA LANE (2) finished third last start at the first run back from a spell, beaten 2 lengths. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to test this line-up. AWESOME WORLD (3) finished fifth over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance on January 31. Can make his presence felt.
10 07:40 Race 10 900m
TURINA WRIGHT (4) found a couple marginally better when returning from a layoff last start over 900m at this track after being prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. WINDSOR ROAR (1) finished third at this track and distance at his last appearance three months ago. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. KOTONO SANSHO (5) ran below his best last start when finishing ninth from a wide draw over this course and distance. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. HIME KAGURA (10) was returning from a break last time out and proved too classy, scoring by half a length over 900m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is worth following up.
11 08:15 Race 11 1600m
KARNAK (2) finished third over 1600m at this track at his last run on April 3. Goes very well when fresh with four wins from seven starts and proved too good first up last prep, can play a major role. VERTE MARIN (4) wound up strongly only to just miss last start over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two minor placings. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. GET UP GATE (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish back in sixth over 1500m at this track. Must be included among the main hopes. COSMO MAROON (3) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1500m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
12 08:50 Race 12 2000m
ELENORA (5) is a promising type who is unbeaten after three runs, the latest over 1600m at Mizusawa. Won only other run fresh when on debut and can make it two from two. TOSEN SAMANTHA (4) was in contention on the corner but turned in a mediocre run last time out over 2000m at Urawa after a nice win the start prior. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. BEL TANTO (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1600m at this track. Will be in this for a long way. ARC BOLT (8) holds claims on best figures and is worth considering.
