NUM TIME COMMENT
1 11:20 Race 1 800m
SUPPIN GIRL (6) was popular in betting last time out but disappointed in finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. This offers her a great chance of breaking through. IIDE SKY LOULOU (1) finished out of the money when ninth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Capable of testing this field on her best efforts. COSMO INDY (4) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. ACADEMISM (2) is coming back sharply in trip after she finished tenth last start over 1400m at this track. Can make her presence felt.
2 11:55 Race 2 1400m
INNAMORATO (6) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in easier did much better when third over 1400m at this track. Looks suited in this line-up. Go close. TECHNIKOS (3) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at Nakayama over 1800m. Will take a lot from that hit-out and looks a strong chance to break through in this suitable race. BRAVE CHEVALIER (4) could only manage to finish fifth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature in the finish this time. NIHONPIRO MILAK (1) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Finds a nice race and is in the mix.
3 12:25 Race 3 1400m
WIN GRAFTON (6) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then dropped in grade last time and raced on the speed before finishing second at this track. Great chance to open his account on this surface. LUSOFONIA (1) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing sixth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Finds the right race and can get off the mark this time. KRICHASHCHII (7) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third. Likely improver with bright prospects. QUEEN'S GREEN (3) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Well placed and fitter can feature.
4 01:00 Race 4 1400m
MEISHO TREK (8) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only a nose from the winner at the end of 1400m. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Leading contender. TAMA ESPOIR (4) ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1600m at this course. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. PUKETTI (3) finished out of the money when fifth over 1600m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. DE KLERK (7) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when tenth over 1400m at this track. Expect he will make amends.
5 01:35 Race 5 1400m
KIRA KAIDO (9) fought on well for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Generally takes a sit but the draw makes it tricky. Has his share of talent and best form puts him right in this. MILLE TENDRESSES (5) finished second here two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in sixth. Suitably placed and capable of sharp improvement. JOLLY MEMORY (8) finished third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Will be handy in running despite the tricky draw. Has his share of ability and can feature. ESTRELLA (7) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and is worth including.
6 02:10 Race 6 1600m
PLUMES DE L'ANGE (2) started favourite last time but went under narrowly over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed stepping out in trip and is a winning chance. CELESTE (9) made late ground and finished fourth last start over 1400m at this track. Best form stacks up nicely so worth another chance. SHINTO ROSE (8) finished just half a length from the winner in third last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace. Can spear over from a wide draw and anticipate another big run. KLINGLER (1) was unplaced last start over 1400m here, finishing fourth. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
7 02:45 Race 7 1400m
O K THUNDER (3) entire who has recorded a placing in his past three outings. Beaten as favourite last start at this track on April 17 over 1400m when second. Barrier should allow for a comfortable run in transit. Main contender. BOIS ETOILES (2) didn't do a bad job when third last start over 1400m at this track after she did her best work in the closing stages. That followed a win the start prior. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. DOREMIFONG (6) has been racing well without winning. Yet to break through at this trip but has registered three minor placings so another big run is likely. INVESTOR (5) improved last start to finish second over 1600m at this track. Well placed and can figure in the finish again.
8 03:20 Race 8 1400m
WIN FIERTE (2) sat on the pace before tiring to finish fourth when resuming over 1400m at this track last time out. Form here at this journey is very good with four wins from seven runs and could be hard to beat in this suitable contest. ALSAFI (5) scored first up two runs ago but couldn't back it up last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back. GALWAY GIRL (1) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when fifth. Has a solid record here at the distance with two wins and five placings from nine tries. Winning claims on best figures. KATSUNO THANK YOU (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Should be thereabouts.

MILL MILL (8) has been about the mark of late including last start when second over 1600m at this track. Ready to find winning form. KEN BRIDGE YU (1) is racing well. Scored at this track two back then finished second over 1600m at this track at the latest appearance two-and-a-half weeks ago. Has a strong record here at this journey with three wins from five runs. Sure to run well. RING BOY (4) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.1 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. METEOR SWARM (7) finished seventh last start at this track over 1600m. Has ability and is a solid top-three hope.
10 04:25 Race 10 1900m
CHUWA ACE (8) reunites with Tatsuya Watanabe after scoring with ease over 1400m at this track last time. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from four starts. Should be in the finish again. IINE IINE IINE (5) was an emphatic winner last time over 1900m at this track with today's rider Tsutsui Yusuke engaged. Bold showing is expected. TAISEI RAFAGA (1) registered a strong win at this track two runs ago then last time out finished fourth over 1600m here. Steps up a level but he is worth serious consideration. KING OF THE NILE (2) improved sharply last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1500m at Nagoya three weeks ago. Must be respected.
11 05:00 Race 11 1800m
KAYADO BLACK (7) is back from a spell of six months having scored a good win at her final run last preparation at this track over 1600m. Excellent record here having never missed the placings in 12 starts, including nine wins and three placings. Major player. SOUND NOVA (4) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after he gave away a big start on the bend. Stepping up a level this time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. SUPER FEATHER (3) made progress last start when he did his best work late to finish third over 1400m at this course. Well placed and in the mix. SANDS OF TIME (2) last appeared five-and-a-half weeks ago over 1400m at Ohi when he finished 16th. This is his first run for the Hideo Moriyama stable. Expect him to be primed for this.
