Race 1 920m
R AND B (5) resumes from a spell of six-and-a-half months and is having his first outing under new trainer T Tsunoda. Finished fourth at Kyoto over 2000m at the opening run last time in work. Well-placed and looks ready to fire. PROUD CORAZON (1) recorded a strong maiden win over 1200m at Monbetsu last time, getting there by 4 lengths. Aided by the rails draw she is definitely worth including. LEG THROUGH (12) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Expected to go back from the draw. Best figures measure up and can run well. DUCKLING (9) is on a quick turnaround after a moderate sixth over 1500m at this track nine days ago. Worth another chance. |

Race 2 1500m
HOME AND DRY (9) was quickly to the lead at this course and distance last time but emptied in the straight to finish seventh. Better than last run and expected to take running down. HAPPY BELL (5) was prominent from the outset when third over 1500m at this track last time out. Leading hope. S K PLAN (1) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1500m at this track. On the quick back-up and worth consideration. MOSTRO NERO (7) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Fitter and can figure in the finish. |

Race 3 1500m
VOGUE ALTAIR (10) is yet to break through but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was fourth over 1500m at this track last time. Sits handy in the run. Capable of sharp improvement and can get off the mark. HELD (8) hasn't featured at his last two runs, the latest when ninth at Tokyo. Has struggled on the JRA circuit recently but is better placed here and worth including. WATER STOMP (12) turned in a modest performance when 11th last start over 1500m here after a good first-up win at this track. Big chance on the first-up form. KURINO ECLIPSE (7) drifted back and never threatened when eighth last start over 1500m at this track. Open to improvement and should be about the mark. |

Race 4 1400m
WATER ARE (3) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1500m at this track. Ready to peak now and an ideal gate helps. Hard to beat. FUMI SONIC (2) finished third last time out at this track. On a nine-day back-up. Has a low draw and shapes as a major threat. WE JUST (9) is resuming from a spell of three-and-a-half months and having her first run for the Tsuyoshi Kawanishi yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at Chukyo Dirt over 1800m. One of the genuine hopes in the race. FUKKATSUNO CHIGIRI (5) could only manage to finish sixth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to figure in the finish. |

Race 5 1500m
JUN FIRENZE (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m after being prominent from the outset. Wide draw and will need a good steer from Seigo Tsukamoto but can feature. LA VIE D'ECLAT (6) made a strong late bid but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1500m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. ARDIOR (3) missed the placings last start when fifth over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. IL PRINCIPE (2) failed to feature last start, finishing eighth over 1500m at this track. Well placed here and worth consideration. |

Race 6 1500m
ALL ROUNDER (11) finished third at this track two runs back but was less effective last time over 920m at this track, finishing back in seventh. Steps up in distance today and can feature. REVENAIS (9) finished out of the money when fifth over 1500m at this track three weeks ago. Has claims. KURINO TOPAZ (3) was prominent in the run and gave a big sight when second over 1500m at this track just nine days ago. Handy draw will assist and can figure in the finish again. RUN OF THE WORLD (5) last appeared a month ago over 1000m at Monbetsu when he finished ninth. This is his first run for the Fujigasaki Kazuhito stable and should be primed for this. |

Race 7 1500m
CORIN CALVELLA (9) remains a maiden after five runs. Had plenty of admirers last time but could only manage to finish seventh over 1500m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. CANDY TUFT (11) was one of the favoured runners last time but could only manage to finish fourth over 1500m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. KAGERO (4) finished out of the money when fifth in a 1500m contest at this track three weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CARAMEL CHOCOLAT (10) failed to feature last start, finishing fifth over 1500m at this track. Leading prospect on best form. |

STRANGER (8) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1500m, finishing ninth. Has a very good record here with two wins from four starts. Can bounce back. COLOR DRESS (3) started at $7.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth at this track over 920m. Finds the right race this time and can get the job done. NOBLE GULF (5) made late ground and finished fifth last start over 1500m at this track. Can turn things around. NEUNG CAPUT (4) turned in a better run last start when sixth over 1500m at this track.

Race 9 920m
KEIKA (7) is racing well this preparation, including a last-start win over 920m at this track to bring up two wins from three runs in the campaign. Form at this track is solid. Will prove tough to beat. ELYSIA (4) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1500m contest at this track nine days ago. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. SHALOM (5) was comfortably accounted for when seventh last time out over 1700m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Deserves another chance. LUGNAQUILLIA (2) did well last start but found one better over 920m at this track, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Has ability and is strong top-three hope. |

Race 10 2000m
ORA VERITAS (9) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when second over 1400m at this track. Facing a similar assignment and is expected to go well again. MISTRAL WIND (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at his last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten one length. Winning rider Soichi Kato sticks and best form puts him right in this. KEY JUPITER (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1700m at this track a week ago. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is good enough to play a major role. KENDOCHORAI (3) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage eighth over 1400m at this track. Can sneak into the finish here. |

Race 11 2000m
MAD ROULETTE (1) finished eighth two runs back at Sonoda then improved last time out to score by a neck as favourite over 1700m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is good enough to figure in the finish. BELLWOOD GRASS (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Strips fitter and can bounce back. MITONO WARRIOR (11) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fifth at this track over 1700m. Has a solid record at this circuit and has strong claims on his best form. INTENSE REFLET (9) was an impressive winner last time over 2600m at Kanazawa, leading throughout and putting 5 lengths on his rivals. One of the main contenders. |

Race 12 1400m
CISCO STAR (9) recorded a strong maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, getting there by 3 lengths. Looks well-placed and a bold showing is expected. COLLEVILLE (7) was a winner a week-and-a-half ago, scoring by 4 lengths over 1500m at this track. Looks to have an edge on most of these. EUROS (3) missed the frame last start over 1500m at this track when fourth. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. DRAGON KID (6) finished third last time over 920m at this track. Will trim down following recent racing and capable of another strong performance. |
