Maiden Race 1800m
TAMAMO JASMINE (9) resumes from a spell of 12 weeks. Looked close to a win before that break, finishing off with a minor placing over 1800m at this track. Rates on top and is a great chance to break through. SAPPORO KITAKO (6) showed good early speed last start on debut and fought on well to hold second, beaten 2 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. REAL SAFARI (5) was prominent at the turn and finished second last time over 1900m at this track when resuming from a spell, beaten half a length. Ready to go one better. KURINO SWALLOW (10) has not raced since her debut back on December 21 when she finished fourth over 1400m at this track. Expected to be right there at the business end. |

Maiden Race 1200m
SEEK THE DREAM (14) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt when second, beaten a neck. Has a wide gate to overcome but he will prove tough to beat. A SHIN PANTA RHEI (4) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 1.3 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LORD VULCAN (10) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks. Could only manage to finish seventh at the latest run over 1200m at this track. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at this track over 1200m. Strong winning chance on best figures. RENENET (6) stepped out on her debut over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago and finished seventh, beaten 12 lengths. Better for that run and can improve sharply. |

Maiden Race 1900m
AMERICAN BAR (2) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Chukyo Dirt over 1900m. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Will give a great sight. LANDSHUT (9) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, finishing second and beaten 4 lengths. Leading player with plenty of improvement in store. EPOEPOSAN (10) is yet to break through in seven runs but has been thereabouts. Last start was 6 lengths away in fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. One to consider. KEIAI WAIRARAPA (5) resumes from a spell of four months. Could only manage to finish sixth at the latest run over 1800m at this track. Has ability so don't underestimate. |

Allowance Race 1200m
MILL MINERVA (6) is back from a break of five-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when seventh over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Should be poised just off the lead. Among the leading chances. FORTE ROSA (13) has been about the money with two minor placings from three starts this campaign, the latest a solid second over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Leading contender. NUGGET MONSTER (15) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt four weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. FELLINI (5) finished 13th, beaten 8 lengths, last time out over this course and distance after coming from an outside draw. Solid top-three hope. |

Allowance Race 1600m
CHANNEL TUNNEL (2) was in the money two starts back at this track but was unable to repeat the effort last time when eighth, beaten 4.5 lengths, at Chukyo over 1600m after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds a nice race and can make amends. EPOCH VENUS (9) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1600m at this track. Has a win and two minor placings from four starts at this track and distance. Likely to feature. JUN VIN QUETE (4) returns after a spell of five months. Looking to emulate his win at Chukyo to kick off the last campaign. Has recorded two wins when first up from a break. One to consider. HAWAIIAN TIARE (1) returns from a spell of 12 weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when 11th over 1600m at Chukyo. One to consider on an each-way basis. |

KAWARAMACHI STAKES 1400m
SHIGERU SOROSORO (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Tokyo Dirt. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. ROSE STAR (5) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CAPTAIN NEKI (9) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on 23/11/2024, finishing 14th and beaten 17 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims. NISHIKIGI MITCHI (10) turned in a fine effort to win by 2.5 lengths at this course and distance when first-up from a spell last start. Nicely placed to keep the ball rolling. |

SO DAZZLING (13) was last at the races when she finished sixth over 1400m in Group 2 grade at this track on December 21. Makes plenty of appeal. OBAMBURUMAI (1) returns from a layoff of three-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Sapporo. Has recorded three wins when first up from a break. Has to be respected. |
