Maiden Race 1400m
DANON FIGO (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt when second, beaten half a length. Will benefit from that experience so a big run is anticipated. MOLE POBLANO (1) ran a much better race at his second outing last start to finish second over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt after being prominent at the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. LITTLE SOMETHING (10) is a three-start maiden who finished seventh at his most recent appearance over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Expected to feature in the finish this time. MATENRO COMMAND (3) has not raced since his debut back on June 1 when he finished tenth over 1600m at Kyoto. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up. |

Maiden Race 1400m
RUN FOR VOW (3) made her debut last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at Nakayama over 1600m, beaten 8 lengths. Anticipating sharp improvement with the run under the belt. TAGANO ENFANT (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1200m at Chukyo in a tougher race. Likely improver so he should be in the finish again. JUN LIGHTNING (9) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 1600m at Nakayama in a tougher race. Likely improver so he is among the leading chances. BLACK KELLY (14) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1600m at Chukyo, finishing third and beaten half a length. Likely improver worth including. |

Allowance Race 1800m
CAPITAL SAX (1) was narrowly beaten at his latest appearance at Kokura Dirt over 1700m 11 weeks ago. Has ability and should be right in the finish. THORNY ISSUE (5) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second when resuming last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. HIRONO LA MER (3) finds it hard to win with just one success from 10 starts. Was again denied last start when he found one better over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ARIES KING (4) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. |

PACIFIC HIGH (2) finished 5.5 lengths away in 11th last time out over 1600m at Chukyo after being in the firing line on the turn when fresh from a spell. Steps up in distance today. Has a decent record at this trip with three minor placings from four tries and is expected to be in the finish.

Major player in this line up.

Nicely placed to feature in the finish. DONAU PEARL (3) last appeared when sixth over 1600m at Niigata five-and-a-half months ago. Sure to make her presence felt. |

NAGAOKAKYO STAKES 1400m
BEYOND THE VALLEY (8) started at $3.60 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 1.3 lengths at Chukyo over 1400m. Worth noting Kohei Matsuyama goes aboard. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. SUCCESS AI (5) didn't do a bad job to finish 1.5 lengths away in second last start over 1600m at Chukyo. That followed a first-up win at Niigata. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. JUHANNUS (1) hasn't been far away lately, beaten 1.75 lengths at his most recent outing when third over 1600m at Chukyo.

FUJINOMORI STAKES 1200m
MANIBHADRA (4) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1200m at Niigata Dirt. Good record at this journey with four wins and a placing from seven starts and looks a top chance. BONANZA (6) comes here off a break of four months.

Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt at the start of last prep. Winning chance while fresh.

THE KYOTO DAISHOTEN 2400m
BLOW THE HORN (11) is back after a break after winning at the top level at this course over 2200m last run. Placed when last resuming over 3000m at Hanshin. Hard to beat on excellent record and last start win. SATONO GLANZ (1) last appeared on May 26 when a good fourth over 2500m in the G2 Meguro Kinen at Tokyo, beaten 1.3 lengths, which was his only run of the campaign. Good record at this journey with two wins and two minors from five starts and is a two times winner this grade. Sure to run well. PRADARIA (8) last appeared on June 23 when a good fourth over 2200m in the G1 Takarazuka Kinen at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Should be poised just off the lead. Won this last year and should be involved in the finish. DEEP BOND (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on June 23 finishing seventh and beaten 6 lengths over 2200m in the G1 Takarazuka Kinen at this track. Placed in this last year. Great fresh record and is among the better hopes. |

Allowance Race 1200m
MEISHO HOREN (6) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt only to fade late and finish fourth. Well placed and should be tough to rein in. ZUGVOGEL (8) finished second at this track and distance at his last appearance four-and-a-half months ago. Comes here with definite claims. JOVIAN (10) did little and finished 4 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt last start after being prominent at the bend, a less impressive effort than his fourth at Chukyo Dirt the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SANGANEB (9) is back after a break of four-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. |
