Maiden Race 1150m
SMART TEMPEST (12) was well in commission last time out but after being in the firing line on the turn didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. TARTE POIRE (14) is a three-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at Nakayama Dirt over 1200m after being prominent at the bend. Getting better with each appearance so anticipating another big run. MEISHO HODAWARA (13) finished 2.25 lengths from the winner in fifth last start after being prominent at the turn over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, an improvement on her first-up 14th the run before. Likely improver with strong prospects. PASSION DIVA (15) finished second last time over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 3 lengths. Will trim down following recent racing. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot. |

Maiden Race 1200m
DEBORAH (7) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at Chukyo over 1200m. Progressive filly who should race up on the speed. Looks ready to win. MIZUIRO HORTUS (13) is very fit after three runs back from a spell, the latest a second over 1200m at Chukyo. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Best figures should see her run well. MEISHO MATILDA (4) raced once in the maiden preparation when fifth at Kokura over 1200m back on January 26. Worth following up this time in work. LUAS CAILIN (6) has not raced since her debut on January 26 over 1200m at Kokura when she finished sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths. Should be thereabouts. |

Maiden Race 2600m
COSMO ACHIEVE (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 2200m at Nakayama after being in the firing line on the turn. Finds a suitable race and looks a great chance to finally break through. DRAGUIGNAN (10) is a five-start maiden who finished fifth, beaten 3 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 2200m at Chukyo. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a serious threat. MEINER FISCHIO (12) found the frame for the first time when second over 2200m at Chukyo last time out. Heading in the right direction and will be hard to beat in this suitable race. WIN IL NEIGE (11) returns after 11 weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a fourth over 2000m at Kokura. Rates highly on that form and should be in the mix. |

Maiden Race 1700m
ROUGE MIRAGE (10) was in the firing line on the bend and progressed nicely last start to finish a close second over 1700m at Kokura Dirt after missing the placings at the previous two appearances. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. THE HUNT (14) finished third as favourite last time out over 1700m at Kokura Dirt, making it two minor placings in succession. Has a tricky draw to overcome but he has solid claims. HANAUMA BEACH (4) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and impressed at both runs in the maiden campaign, finishing off with a minor placing over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Expect he has come on over the break. Right in this. PIRANHA KISS (7) has raced twice. Was 14th on debut then clocked-in 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Should be thereabouts again. |

Maiden Race 1800m
MEINER ARES (14) is an eight-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 2000m at Chukyo when coming off an eight-week break. Best form comes at today's trip so expect him to be right in the finish. CHANGE OF HEART (16) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish tenth at the latest run over 1600m at Nakayama. Best form measures up so must be respected. WIN VERANO (6) has been kept fresh since sitting on the pace last time but fading to finish sixth over 1800m at Kokura seven weeks ago. Should camp just off the leaders. One to consider. RED STERN (7) closed last prep three-and-a-half months ago when he finished 15th over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Lightly raced colt with scope to improve. |

Maiden Race 1200m
MEINER RECUERDO (15) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 2 February, finishing sixth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo. Has found a suitable race to launch this campaign. HIRONO EXCALIBUR (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at Chukyo, beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely in this plain line-up. Sure to run well. SMART SELAM (5) has not raced since he finished 11th over 1600m at Kyoto on December 22. Has only raced twice so can improve sharply. GOODBYE WAVE (16) returns after nine weeks in the paddock. Raced once last prep and finished tenth, beaten under four lengths, over 1400m at Tokyo. Can kick off with a bold showing. |

Allowance Race 1700m
ILANA (2) finished second over 1700m at Kokura Dirt at her most recent appearance on January 25. Genuine filly whose best form comes at this distance. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. NOBLE ACT (15) found the line strongly last time out when third over 1700m at Kokura Dirt at her third run back. Should be ready to show her best now so she is high among the leading chances. CAPE WICKHAM (4) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Worth including. SHIRLEY GOLD (10) last appeared two months ago over 1600m at Kyoto when she finished 11th. This is her first run for the Yuta Sato stable. Capable of a top three finish. |

Allowance Race 1150m
ENOUGH SAID (1) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at Kokura Dirt, finishing fifth and beaten 5 lengths starting at $6.50. Might be looking for this longer trip now so expect a big run this time. HELLO MY LOVELY (11) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 4 lengths after being handy in the run. Strips fitter and can feature. AOKAMI (3) has two placings from four starts this prep and last time out finished 3 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Another top-three finish is on the cards. MEISHO HUBBLE (10) has not appeared since he finished ninth over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt on February 10. Capable of sprinting well while fresh. |

HIMESAYURI SHO 2000m
DEL AVAR (3) settled well back then found the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths, over this journey in Listed grade at Hanshin last time out. Suited by the smallish field and drop in grade. The one to beat. PREMIER SHIP (1) came from well back on the bend to score last time out over 2000m at Chukyo, his first win at career start five. Expected to be there at the business end. COSMO ANTHOLOGY (9) was quickly into stride and went on to score by half a length last time out over 2000m at Kokura. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his recent form he is right in contention. MUSICIAN (5) brings the right form to this race after taking out a 1800m contest at Kokura last time out by 2.5 lengths. Progressing well and poses a threat. |

KORI TOKUBETSU 2000m
SUZUKA MIERE (11) turned in an eye-catching run over this journey last time, settling out the back before winding up late to finish 5 lengths away in fifth at Chukyo. Sure to prove tough to hold out. OLIEBOLLEN (4) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at Chukyo over 2000m. Rates highly in this line up. Gets her chance. TELEOS LULU (6) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a nice race when resuming from a spell last time out over 2000m at Chukyo, finishing third and beaten 2.25 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. WIN DAISY (16) was beaten 4.5 lengths into fifth over 2400m at Kyoto last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

RADIO FUKUSHIMA SHO 1700m
LA ORACION (9) wound up strongly last time out to finish 1.4 lengths adrift in third over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Finally putting it together and will be tough to stop again. KURFURST (10) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fifth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt three weeks ago. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is up to the challenge. PLACER GOLD (15) has not raced since a moderate sixth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt eight weeks ago. Has won here at this trip. Best form stacks up so must be considered. MEISHO GEMMA (1) returns from a three-month break. Gets a soft run from the inside alley and is capable of a cheeky run while fresh. |

Allowance Race 1200m
EXCEL GOLD (4) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1200m at Kokura, his second eye-catching effort in a row since resuming. Sure to feature again with the help of a much better barrier. CAFE CHRONICLE (15) came home strongly last start to finish second, beaten half a length, over 1200m at Chukyo when returning from a spell. Has a formidable record at this journey with three wins and two placings from seven starts. Key runner. JAGUAR (12) finds it hard to win with just one success from 15 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when 11th over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 5.5 lengths. Finds a suitable assignment and cannot be ruled out. CRESCENT WING (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Kyoto, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter and sure to run well. |
