Race 1 1600m
GOLD AVANTI (1) is yet to break through in 34 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 6 lengths away in fourth over 1600m at this track last time. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. KOYU PRETTY (6) finished fifth at this track and distance at her last appearance eight months ago. Should be hard to stop. MIWA TETSU NIGO (7) held on well to finish second last time out over 1600m at this track after leading for much of the way. Will push forward and is among the chances. WIN STRATEGY (11) is finding the breakthrough elusive but he was okay here last time and is one of the better hopes. |

Race 2 1400m
WORLD FOUNTAIN (4) made a nice return two back then met with solid backing but disappointed when fifth over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Well placed to make amends. NONSTOP GIRL (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Backmarker who keeps coming. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. ECORO GIOIA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 15 lengths into tenth. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. DUAL MOTION (11) made some progress last start to finish sixth over 1200m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time around and is open to further improvement. |

Race 3 1200m
REGGAE DANCER (13) showed good speed and led for much of the way before fading here last time but she can prove a tougher nut to crack now. This sets up ideally and he seems sure to go well. ICHIGO SHORT (7) is a 63-start maiden who finished seventh at her most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Clearly struggles to make it count but this looks a nice race so expect her to be right in the finish. THE GOAT (6) finished tenth at this track and distance at her last appearance five months ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. HANASAKI POPLAR (8) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start but can figure in the finish this time. |

Race 4 1400m
BIG YASHICHI ROOF (7) started at $3 last time but ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 9 lengths at this track over 1200m. Nicely placed to bounce back and fancy he can do just that. SUNNY HAWK (11) returns after four-and-a-half months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed and expected to go well. SPY (5) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then solid in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. FLYING MONKEY (10) is one worth including in this suitable contest. |

Race 5 1200m
I LOVE NORIKO (3) has been in the betting at both starts but has failed to break through. Most recently finished sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. Has ability and deserves another chance. ROIRO (8) is a 10-start maiden who finished eighth at his most recent outing over 1200m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. G T GOD (10) resumes from a spell of 11 months and is having his first outing under new trainer Daisuke Mashima. Finished sixth at this track over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. Solid top-three hope. YUYU KAGUYA (2) finished 11 lengths from the winner in sixth at her most recent appearance over 1200m at this track. Appeals as a top-four contender. |

Race 6 1600m
KUU LEI NANI (9) was always forward and boxed on to finish fourth over 1600m at this track last time. Tsubasa Sasagawa stays aboard. Likely to feature. SEVEN GO (5) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.75 lengths from the winner at the end of 1200m. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MAMA'S COFFEE (11) made significant late ground last start to get up for third over 1600m at this track. Ryota Sugawara has been in the money at the last four rides. One of the main contenders. VARIOUS (12) is a promising galloper who won at his only run last prep 11 weeks ago over 1400m at this track. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Has to be respected. |

Race 7 1200m
HEARTHFIRE (3) filled yet another minor placing last time when half a length adrift in third over 1200m at this track. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. KAGAYAKI SUBARU (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths into fifth. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. TO THE EARTH (15) improved sharply on his eighth two starts back at this track with a win over 1200m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by 5 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. TATSUNO KISEKI (4) is back from a spell of four-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. |

Race 8 1600m
KEIAI BAZARA (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1600m at this track after being in contention on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LADY VICTORIA (6) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the bend at this track, finishing seventh and beaten 5.5 lengths starting at $6.10. Hard to beat in this suitable race. YUYU STARRY (10) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Will give a sight again. LARGE FIELD (3) produced another moderate effort last start when 8 lengths from the winner in ninth over 1600m at this track. Better than recent efforts suggest. |

Race 9 1800m
DATENO SHOGUN (7) is a strong first-up performer who is fresh from a spell of eight months. Was in great form before the break with five consecutive wins, the latest over 1600m at this track. Has a formidable combination with Norifumi Mikamoto who has been aboard for his last three wins. Sure to play a big role. KENTUCKY SKY (4) made it two wins in a row last time out when he scored by 3 lengths over 2000m at Urawa. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. SMILE MORE (3) is back after a break of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at this track. One to consider. MIRAIENO SHINGEKI (5) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1800m here last time. Solid top-three hope. |

Race 10 1200m
RIKO HAMMERLI (4) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 24 starts, but did a good job last start to finish second over 1200m at this track, beaten a neck. Likely contender with strong prospects. WIN FIERTE (3) boxed on to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten half a length when resuming. In a suitable race and can play a major role. NEO ABBY (5) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1200m. Boasts four wins here. Ryuji Tatsushiro who has two wins when partnering stays on. One of the contenders. ROZA (9) is finding the breakthrough elusive but is going well. Solid when fifth at her latest appearance over 1200m at this track. Can feature in the finish. |

Race 11 1800m
TIGER CHARGE (1) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Funabashi two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths last time out over 2000m at this track. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. NUDGE (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2000m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Nicely placed to take this out. HOLLYWOOD HILLS (5) finished seventh two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 5 lengths after being in contention on the bend over 1600m at this track. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. HIGHESTEND (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Funabashi but posted solid form when only beaten 5 lengths into fifth. Suitably placed. |

Race 12 1650m
PERSEVERANTE (3) is coming off a determined win last start over 1800m at this track a month ago. Gets some weight relief this time so another bold showing is expected.

BLACK PIANO (10) started at $7.10 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below his best, finishing 11th over 1800m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects.
