Maiden Race 1200m
SMART BULL (8) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at this track when second, beaten 1.5 lengths. Will benefit from that experience so a big run is anticipated. LAYOVER (12) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over 1200m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. REAL SHOT (4) was safely held on debut last start, finishing 9 lengths behind the winner in fourth over 1800m at this track. Plenty of scope for improvement. Expected to be competitive. IMPAR AZUL (13) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 4.5 lengths from the winner in sixth at this track over 1200m. Can improve and is a top-three chance. |

Maiden Race 1600m
SHIHORIN (4) was well fancied on debut last start and was not far off the mark, finishing second and beaten one length over 1600m at this track. Can open winning account this time. DANON MISSION (10) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight, holding on for second and beaten a head over 1500m at Sapporo. Big chance based on that effort. SALUD POR TI (7) has not raced since she finished second on debut over 1800m at Fukushima on July 14. Has upside and sure to come back even better. Deserves serious consideration. MIZUIRO HORTUS (5) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 1.75 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1600m at this track. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. |

Allowance Race 1800m
DANTSU TIARA (12) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming last start over 1800m at this track then fought on gamely to finish second. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. RISEE NOIR (5) battled on well to hold third last start over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt, beaten 1.1 lengths when resuming. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot take this out. ASPRILLA (16) drew wide last time and was safely held when 6 lengths away in fifth over this course and distance. Draws an outside gate again. Winning rider Hironobu Tanabe sticks. One of the main contenders. COSMO OPINION (10) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in second over 1800m at this track. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role. |

Newcomer Race 2000m
RAFFLES DREAM (17) is a two-year-old filly facing the starter for the first time. Out of Group 1 winner King's Rose. Half to Grade 3 winner Satono Arthur. Has the pedigree and expected to run well. THALBERG (3) is a two-year-old colt by Duramente out of Lady O'toole stepping out on debut for the Haruki Sugiyama stable. Likely to have an economical run from this favourable draw. Leading prospect on face value, with betting holding the key. ALEGRANZA (4) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Toru Kurita. By Isla Bonita from Striking Eye. Bold showing expected. BIZANTINO (11) is facing the starter for the first time. By Masar and hails from the Yuki Uehara stable. Worth watching for a betting push. |

Allowance Race 1200m
PLACE DAUPHINE (14) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 3 lengths away in seventh over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt on July 13 which was the only run of that prep. Has scored first-up from a spell before. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. Expected to be in the finish. MEINER DIRECTO (11) finds it hard to win with just one success from 13 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. CHELSEA (16) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Placed to advantage and can take this out. GLASS NO BLUES (2) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Should park just off the speed. In the mix. |

Allowance Race 2200m
TRIDENT SPEAR (1) was well in commission when resuming last start over 2000m at Niigata when second, beaten 3 lengths. Will appreciate the longer journey and can play a major role. RED TELEOS (4) has been in the money at his last couple of runs, the latest when second over 2000m at this track. Useful type who gets his chance. CLIFFHANGER (16) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 3.5 lengths back in fourth over 2600m at Sapporo. One of the main contenders. CONFERMA (12) is a progressive three-year-old colt who resumes from a break of nine weeks, his last appearance being a win over 2200m at Niigata. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Should camp just off the leaders. Not to be discounted. |

Allowance Race 1800m
UNGAISOTEN (11) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 1.5 lengths last time out over 1800m at this track. Should cross from wide out. Meeting a deeper field this time but he is good enough to play a major role. KANJI (9) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by half a length over 1800m at this track. Will be better for that latest run and he looms as a significant threat. ARARE TABASHIRU (12) finished midfield at his first run back from a spell last start, beaten 14 lengths over 1800m in the G3 Leopard Stakes at Niigata Dirt at long odds. Drawn out but does go back and work into his races. Should be competitive. BLAZEST (6) finished third last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 7 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Likely improver with solid prospects. |

SAFFRON SHO 1600m
Terrific race with eight last start winners and one dropping significantly in class. EMBROIDERY (6) returns from the paddock. Was less than a length from the winner in second at Tokyo on debut before showing the benefit of that race experience when an impressive winner over 1800m at Niigata last start. Capable of repeating the dose. SENA MARINE (1) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1400m at Niigata seven weeks ago. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. GO SO FAR (9) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1800m at Niigata five weeks ago. Likely improver with bright prospects again. CHIGIRI (7) is back from a spell of 11 weeks. Closed last prep with a eighth, beaten 4.5 lengths, over 1200m at Hakodate. Big class drop here. A bold showing is expected. |

JRA ULTRA PREMIUM SAKURA BAKUSHIN O CUP 1800m
FLAMINIA (1) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Has solid form at this course with two wins and two minor placings from six starts. Credentials hard to fault. HUMMING (2) was safely held when resuming from a spell behind Christmas Parade in the G2 Shion Stakes at this track over 2000m, beaten 10 lengths into 11th. Finds a suitable assignment and can play a big role. ELECTRIC BOOGIE (3) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money at Fukushima but disappointed last time when sixth, beaten 4 lengths, at this track over 1800m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. GIRLS' LEGEND (6) finished third when resuming two runs back at Niigata then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.3 lengths over 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. |

THE SPRINTERS STAKES 1200m
Multiple Grade 3 winner SATONO REVE (12) scored at last run before a break then resumed where he left off when a fresh up winner in the G3 Keeneland Cup at Sapporo. Unbeaten in two starts second up. First try this level but promising and leading rider engaged. Expected to measure up. MAD COOL (7) finished 11th over 1200m in the G1 Chairman's Sprint Prize at Sha Tin on April 28 beaten 14 lengths. Has a strong record when fresh, claiming five wins from nine runs and scored first up last prep. Just pipped in this last year. Go close. NAMURA CLAIR (5) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1200m in the G3 Keeneland Cup at Sapporo when fifth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Goes up a notch this time but has an excellent record second-up and was a close-up third in this last year. MAMA COCHA (6) was last years winner. Finished second over 1200m in the G2 Centaur Stakes fresh which was a very similar run before winning this 12 month ago. Leading player again. |

SOTOBO STAKES 1200m
BUSHIN (8) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has a perfect record in two third-up appearances so he looks very hard to beat. GABBY'S SISTER (10) did her best work late to score by 2.5 lengths at the most recent appearance over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt at the second run this prep. Likely to measure up again. PEPTIDE YAMATO (1) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten one length. Likely improver with strong prospects. SOUTHERN ELF (12) is back at the races for the first time since July 20. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Has to be respected. |
