NUM TIME COMMENT
1 03:05 Race 1 1300m
COSMO NAVIGATOR (11) returns from a spell of nine weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 1400m at this track. Has found a suitable race on resumption and can put his best foot forward. WIN OREICHALKON (5) is a 43-start maiden who finished fourth after being in contention on the turn at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish, especially if he can run up to his latest form. HARBOR VIEW (8) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth, beaten 6 lengths, last start over 900m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. CHURCHILL TESORO (1) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was fifth over 1300m at this track. Fitter and sure to run well.
2 03:40 Race 2 1300m
CYNOSURE (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 900m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FAMILY (3) finished in fourth last start after being prominent at the corner over 1300m at this track, an improvement on her seventh at Sonoda the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. MEISHO MADAKE (2) is a four-start maiden who finished fourth over 1300m at this track last time out. Fitter for that run and he draws a good gate once again. Likely to be in the finish. TSUKIYONO USAGI (7) finished 6 lengths away in fourth at her last appearance over 900m at this track on September 21. Likely to be thereabouts.
3 04:20 Race 3 1400m
M'S MAN (6) is a seven-start maiden who could only manage to finish 15th at his latest appearance over 2000m at Niigata. He'll find this a whole lot easier as he drops back to NAR grade today. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. RIKKA LAURA (4) was safely held in a far tougher race two back then went around in an easier contest over 1300m at this track last time and finished second after leading. Well placed and among the leading players. BLACK RISE (10) made progress last start to finish third over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. YUTO THE EAST (8) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1300m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
4 04:55 Race 4 1400m
STAR TIARA (6) is a seven-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing second at this track over 900m last time out after being in the firing line on the turn. Ideally placed to shed the maiden tag. COOKIE CREAM (8) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of 12 weeks, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at this track. Ready to find winning form. WIN KARDIA (4) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fourth at her last appearance over 1300m at this track on September 22. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. MORINO CARINA (7) finished 10 lengths from the winner in fourth at her most recent appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her.
5 05:30 Race 5 1400m
ANNIE BREAK (2) reunites with Shota Muramatsu after scoring with ease over 1300m at this track last time. She led from start to finish last start and suspect similar tactics this time around from the same barrier. Has upside and can bring up back-to-back wins. MOON OF THE ACE (9) has not raced since he scored over 1300m at this track on July 14. Sure to prove tough to beat. PALM BEACH (3) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last time over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Likely improver with bright prospects. SOMEI (5) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 900m contest at this track last time out by 2.5 lengths. One of the key contenders.
6 06:05 Race 6 1800m
RUTILE (3) led all the way to score as favourite on debut over 900m at this track four months ago and has not been produced since. Promising type who can go back-to-back. POLICE VEHICLE (1) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Races well here and rates a strong winning chance. DAIMEI HEROINE (11) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with 5 lengths to spare over 1400m at this track. Has the early speed to cross from out wide. One of the main contenders. SISU R (7) settled well back then came home powerfully to score by one length over 1400m at this track last time out. Will be doing her best work late.
7 06:40 Race 7 1300m
SAVANNAH TESORO (8) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1300m. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. Has the talent to take this out. TAKENO EIKO (7) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth after starting at $9.80. Has the talent to find the winners' list. NOBLE CANYON (2) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1750m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. LYON (5) drew wide last time and was safely held when 12th over this track and trip. Will drift back but wind up late. Top three prospects.
8 07:10 Race 8 1300m
BEIGNET (4) has been in great form recently, the latest effort a dominant win by 4 lengths over 1300m at this track to make it three victories in a row. Beautifully placed and can keep her winning streak alive. HANAHANA GUSTO (1) turned things around last start and got the job done by 1.5 lengths after being in contention on the corner over 1300m at this track. No reason she cannot salute again. SORAN (5) finished eighth at this track and distance at his last appearance 11 weeks ago. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. MOON BEST HORSE (7) last appeared when he finished tenth over 1400m at this track on July 22. Comes here with definite top-three claims.
9 07:40 Race 9 1400m
T M EPOCH (4) returns from a break of three months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1300m at this track. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. T M JINKYU (9) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Finds a suitable race and can make it to the winner's circle. ACCEL OSO (8) settled well back and failed to live up to expectations over 1400m at this track last time out when in the market. That followed a good third the run prior. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form. ANEROID (7) was below his best last time when eighth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make amends.
10 08:10 Race 10 1400m
MOON OF THE SUMMER (7) is a handy galloper who was 0.9 lengths from the winner in third when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Excellent winning chance. DIGITAL SCION (5) last raced when successful by a nose over 1400m at this track 11 weeks ago. Should be hard to stop. PRINCIPAL ACT (4) won over 1400m at this track at his most recent appearance on July 7. Has a terrific record here with five wins and two placings from seven starts. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. ANIMAL KIRISHIMA (1) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1300m. Can sneak into the finish.
11 08:40 Race 11 1400m
SHOW VESALE (6) last appeared five weeks ago over 1600m at Niigata when she finished 16th. This is her first run for the Michitaka Doi stable as she drops into NAR level. Makes plenty of appeal in the new surrounds. CARIBE FLAVOR (7) returns after five months in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a eighth over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Bold showing expected dropping into easier grade. GLEANN NA MADADH (5) finished out of the money two starts back then she settled well back and was beaten 6 lengths when 11th over 1200m at Sapporo seven weeks ago. Finds an easier assignment and can find winning form. RETURN ACE (4) returned from a spell five weeks ago when he was seventh over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Fitter this time will prove harder to beat.
