Race 1 1400m
MAPLE KENJI (5) scored a dominant victory at Sonoda over 1400m at his latest appearance back in October, the only time he faced the starter in that campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Expected to be in the finish. HO O SIX (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 2 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. MITTELRHEIN (7) did little at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her seventh at Sonoda the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. PIENA PERRY (3) next best. |

Race 4 1400m
DURANT VERITE (7) did a great job to score by a neck over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of another big performance. NANAN (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Looks well placed and he is a great chance to go back-to-back. MOON BRIDGE (3) turned in a fine effort to score by a nose at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to cope. ANNINA (5) turned in a much better effort last time out to score by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track.

GRUN WALD (9) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten 0.6 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. PINNACLE POINT (5) did a great job to score by 0.8 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meets some better types this time but he has the talent to test this line-up. CAMPBELL (3) broke through for her maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably.

Race 6 1400m
KURINO HERO (8) made it back-to-back wins when successful last start over 1400m at this track, getting home by 3 lengths. Winning rider F Komaki retains the mount. Finds a suitable race and can add to the picket fence. SUN NERINE (6) finds it hard to win but left a good impression last time out when beaten a neck into second over 1400m at this track. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Expected to be in the finish. VENICE QUEEN (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SMART SCOPE (3) finished third over 1230m at Sonoda two back then missed the frame last time out over 1400m at this track. Should be parked just off the speed. Chance on best figures and worth including. |

Strong performer at this stage of the prep with two wins and zero minor placings from three attempts. Should measure up again. ZEALOUS EFFORTS (3) did a great job to score by one length over this course and distance last start in a far better run. Must raise the bar but another win beckons.

Race 11 1400m
RIKEA MACCHIATO (3) recorded a strong on-speed win last time by half a length over this journey at Kochi. Has a strong association with Shuji Akaoka who has been in the saddle for his last four wins. Should be hard to stop. A SHIN HARRIER (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three runs. Leading player again. LAZULITE TAKKA (5) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths.
