Maiden Race 1800m
GIRLS DAY OUT (11) is a four-start maiden who looks close to breaking the duck after finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs, most recently when a neck away in second over 1800m at this track. Top chance. ALETHIA (12) made her debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab second, beaten 5 lengths, over 1800m at this track. Open to sharp improvement and can get off the mark this time. ANGE HARDI (14) showed good early speed from the inside draw when fresh from a spell last time out, leading for home before finding a couple better over 1800m at this track. Well-placed and expected to feature again. HAPPY DREAM (13) has not appeared since she finished second on debut over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt on January 25. One of the key contenders. |

Maiden Race 1200m
MEISHO SATONOHI (7) has put together back-to-back placings, last start finishing one length away in second over 1200m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. ALA MOANA (1) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fifth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability and is a solid chance. REVE DE ANGE (6) finished 5 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being in contention on the bend over 1400m at this track, an improvement on her sixth at this track the run before. Making progress and can play a significant role. ASK THE AMERICAN (5) is a three-year-old colt on debut from the stable of K Nonaka. By American Pharoah from Get Explicit. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves. |

Maiden Race 2000m
DAISHIN LEALEA (15) was responsible for a solid effort last time out when second at this track over 1800m, beaten a neck. Hasn't been far away this time in work with five minor placings from seven starts. Sure to go very well again. YA KNOW MY STEELO (6) was well supported on debut last start and turned in a strong effort to finish second over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. CHRONUS BULLET (13) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 4 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. MIRACLE BLUE (2) finished 4.5 lengths from the winner in fourth at his most recent outing over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. |

Maiden Race 2200m
FERN GROTTO (5) turned in a good effort on debut 12 weeks ago when 1.3 lengths away in second at Kokura over 2000m. Has not been to the races since that outing. Will be better for that race experience and looks the one to beat. ALMA DE ORO (14) wasn't far away first up last start when fourth over 2000m at this track. May appreciate the longer journey with that run under the belt. Expected to feature in the finish. ENGAGE PRIDE (2) finished 2.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 2000m at Chukyo, an improvement on his sixth at Kyoto Dirt the run before. Progressive type with strong prospects. SUNRISE SUGAR (16) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing eighth at this track over 2400m, beaten 9 lengths. Can improve and is not to be discounted. |

Allowance Race 2000m
TOPPI BORN (2) looks to launch this prep the way he ended the last three months ago when he scored over 2000m at Chukyo. Promising colt who is hard to go past. REALIZE AURUM (5) opened this campaign last start with a third, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 2400m at this track. Won in good style second-up last prep over 2000m at Tokyo. Likely to feature. MEDITERRANEAN (4) resumes after a break of ten weeks. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 2000m at Kyoto. Should be prominent. JUNE EOS (7) closed last prep 11 weeks ago when she finished fifth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Best figures measure up favourably. |

Allowance Race 1800m
MARINE (7) settled back before coming home strongly to score on debut over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt three weeks ago. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. KURINO SWALLOW (4) crossed from an outside draw last time to stalk the lead before drawing clear to win by 4 lengths when resuming over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Will go forward and should be in the finish again. SCHWALM (3) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt ten weeks ago and has not appeared since. Lemaire is a significant engagement. Key runner. NETTE FRAU (5) was too good for a maiden field when resuming last start over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. |

Allowance Race 2400m
AQUA VERNAL (9) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 2400m at this track. No reason she cannot salute now that she has struck form again. BETTLES (3) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 2200m at Chukyo. Has found a suitable race to hit the ground running. TIMUR (1) did well last time to finish second over 2000m at this track, coming from midfield on the corner. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Among the winning hopes. DIAMOND RAIN (8) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 3 lengths away in third over 2400m at Kyoto. Fitter and worth including. |

Allowance Race 1600m
BARQUENTINE (9) came home strongly last start to finish third, beaten 0.6 lengths, over 1600m at Chukyo when coming back from a lengthy spell. Will be tough to stop again with that important run out of the way. GLOBE AMARANTH (13) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.3 lengths from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. RUGGER QUEEN (8) did her best work late to finish second at long odds at her latest appearance at this track over 1600m. Good signs last time and can play a major role. SAKU (4) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 1400m at this track. Each-way claims. |

SUITA TOKUBETSU 1400m
LUDIQUE (12) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat if he brings his best form. PHILIP (10) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished third at Tokyo Dirt two starts back then got the job done by 2 lengths as favourite last time out over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Meets a stronger field but he is up to the task. BACK TO THE LIGHT (5) last appeared on December 22 when a good fourth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 2.25 lengths. Races well at this circuit and has to be respected. CUTTING GEM (4) returned from a spell six-and-a-half weeks ago when he was beaten 10 lengths into 11th over 1500m at Kawasaki. Fitter and sure to run well. |

TAMBA TOKUBETSU 1400m
SKY HIGH (11) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1400m, beaten one length. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and five minor placings from seven starts. Sure to go very well. TERA STELLAR (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just twice from 27 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when sixth over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Best form comes here at this trip so anticipating a big run. JUN GOLD (12) missed the frame when resuming last start over 1400m at this track but wasn't all that far from the winner. Is a winner when second-up. Backmarker who gets home hard and will prove tough to stop. QUICK BIO (1) was beaten 2 lengths into fourth in a 1200m contest at this track at her latest appearance. Worth noting Yuga Kawada goes aboard. Well placed to bounce back. |

THE ANTARES STAKES 1800m
MIKKI FIGHT (8) was well fancied when resuming but found a couple better in the G1 February Stakes at Tokyo Dirt, finishing 2 lengths adrift at the end of 1600m. Unbeaten at this longer journey. Winning chance dropping back a couple of levels. YAMANIN OURS (9) started favourite last time but found a couple better over 1400m in stakes class at this track. Better placed out to this distance. Should be in the finish again. OMEGA GUINESS (4) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 1800m in the G2 Procyon Stakes at Chukyo Dirt. Under the care of new trainer Shogo Yasuda this prep. One of the main contenders. HAGINO ALEGRIAS (12) resumes. Wasn't far away at the only run last time in work, finishing fourth over 1800m in the G1 Champions Cup at Chukyo Dirt four-and-a-half months ago. Loves racing here and is a definite contender. |

Allowance Race 1400m
MIGHTY MIGHTY (11) ran on strongly only to just miss when first-up from a thirteen-month absence last start over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Will strip a lot fitter this time around. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. KALPA (2) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Chukyo Dirt, finishing fourth and only 1.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. A SHIN COXSWAIN (12) was well in commission when she resumed four weeks ago over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt and was only beaten 2 lengths into fifth after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to find winning form. GRANDE SFIDA (4) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 2.25 lengths into fifth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Fitter so expect a better run this time. |
