NUM TIME COMMENT
1 04:25 Race 1 1200m
STRONG FREJA (6) is yet to break through in 17 runs but put the writing on the wall when fourth at her last appearance over 1200m at this track. Reaching peak fitness and rates highly in this field. DONNA DONNA (10) met with solid support last time out but could only manage to finish seventh. Has her share of talent having scored when fresh three back. Hard to beat with her A-game. HANASAKI POPLAR (2) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish fifth at this track. One to watch for late in the piece. BROWN LIBERTY (1) was beaten 4.5 lengths two-and-a-half weeks ago. Suitably drawn so can turn things around.
2 05:00 Race 2 1200m
TITULAR (1) made an encouraging debut last time out, coming from a wide barrier and finishing fifth over 1200m at this track. Better for that outing and is much better served by the inside draw. Big chance. DOBBY FLASH (7) finished sixth last start over 1200m at this track, an improvement on his seventh on debut at this track the run before. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. DANON ALPS (5) is facing the starter for the first time. By Justify and hails from the Hidemitsu Sakai stable. Any push in betting should be respected. SOUTHERN SNOW (2) showed improvement at start number two and could progress further.
3 05:35 Race 3 1200m
SHISA (9) showed some improvement at start number two when he kept chasing for fourth last start at this track and trip. Looks to have his share of ability and is open to further improvement and looks hard to beat in this suitable race. KITETSU (2) faced the starter for the first time and finished fifth last start at this track and distance. Will improve and is well drawn. Major player. CHUO HAGLER (4) stepped out on his debut at this track three weeks ago and finished sixth. Worth following up. TAKENO OKAN (6) produced a solid run last start when fifth at this track. Can figure in the finish this time.
4 06:10 Race 4 1600m
WORLD FOUNTAIN (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a nose over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five outings. Leading player again. KISEKI NYAN (1) hasn't been too far away since winning four back. Last start was only 3l away at this track. Aided by the inside draw and rates highly on best figures. BLESSED THUNDER (3) finished fourth over 2000m at this track at his most recent appearance in June. Definite top-three chance. FAIRY MAIA (4) recorded back-to-back placings then settled at the rear and stoked up nicely in the straight to finish sixth here last time. Can figure in the finish.
5 06:50 Race 5 1200m
ROYAL EPIC (14) bounced straight to the front from the rails draw when fresh from a spell last start and led for home before finishing second over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and will be hard to peg back. HEARTHFIRE (13) finished 4.5 lengths adrift in tenth last time at this track abut was racing well before that with a string of top-four finishes. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. TATSUNO KISEKI (3) performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1200m. Has his share of talent. Go well. SILVER STELLA (5) was a winner three back and was solid last time when beaten 3.5 lengths. Has claims.
6 07:30 Race 6 2000m
RAGING THRUST (8) progressed off a solid fresh effort to lead throughout last start to score an effortless 2 lengths win over 1700m at this track. One of the top chances again. ANNINDOFU (9) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip after he was in the firing line on the bend. Good enough to turn the recent effort around. MARIACHI (7) went well last time out for third at the end of 1700m at this track. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BLEU MARINE CIEL (4) returned from a spell two-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 4.5 lengths into seventh over 1600m at this track. Strips fitter and can progress.
7 08:10 Race 7 1600m
LONGING NICE (1) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when second, beaten a head. Won three in a row at this track before that. Has ability and draws well so should be right in the finish. SOPHIA CROWN (6) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with a win as public elect over 1600m at this track seven weeks ago, getting home by 6 lengths. Taito Mori scored on her last time and retains the ride. Another win is not out of the question. MOZU YUGA (9) raced on the speed and kept going to score by a neck last time out over 1600m at this track. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. ESKEN DREAM (2) resumed over 1800m at this track last time out and showed good speed to lead throughout, scoring by a neck. Has a strong record here, including four wins. Not to be discounted.
8 08:50 Race 8 1650m
HERMOSA MIO (7) has been racing well this preparation, scoring last start over 1600m at this track to make it four wins from eight runs this time in. Form here at this trip reads five wins from seven starts. Take beating. MARUKAN LANI (10) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 6 lengths at this track. Has a good record at this track and is two from two at the distance. Masahiro Matsuzaki who has five wins when partnering stays on. Well placed and should be in the finish. MARUKAN BLOND (4) performed above expectations last time over 1800m at this track, finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in fourth after starting at huge odds. Form at this distance is strong with four wins from seven starts and is expected to be competitive. COSMO FARNESE (2) has some claims off a placing two back.
