Maiden Race 2890m
HO O ECLAIR (11) did well to finish third two back in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Backed that up with a sound second in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama 28 days ago, beaten 2.5 lengths. Overdue and gets chance. FREEDOM REIGN (12) returns from a 70-day spell. Concluded the last campaign finishing fifth in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten 3 lengths. Yet to win over the obstacles from three tries but shows promise. Go well. WITH YOUR DREAM (10) was unplaced two starts ago in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura then produced a better result last start when he wound up in fourth, beaten 4 lengths, in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Capable of turning things around. SUCCESS BALLADE (6) was most recently at the races three months ago. Closed the last campaign with a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura, beaten 4 lengths. Will be ready to run well. |

Maiden Race 1800m
ANDERMATT (2) improved last start to finish third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Likely improver with strong prospects. ANDRINA (4) resumes from a ten weeks spell and looked close to a win before the break, starting favourite and finishing third at Kokura Dirt. Re-unites with Kyosuke Kokubun. Rates highly and is a strong chance to take this out. YODOGIMI (9) is back after a break of ten weeks. At the last run before the layoff she finished seventh over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Strong winning chance on best figures. FLOW OF TIME (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 8 lengths back in fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. |

Maiden Race 1200m
WIDE DECORATION (11) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LILY DREAMER (8) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to find the placings at Chukyo Dirt two starts back before finishing fifth over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt last start. Likely to be about the money. PENTELIKON (13) improved last start to finish third over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt after being in contention on the turn. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. NAC ORION (10) finished 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth after being in contention on the turn at his most recent appearance over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Cannot be ruled out in this suitable assignment. |

Open Class Race 2890m
CONTAINER WORLD (13) finished 12th the start before last at Kokura on the flat. Did a much better job last time when he filled a minor placing, beaten 3 lengths, in a steeplechase (3200m) at Nakayama. Talented chaser who will take catching. MYTHOLOGIE (6) is resuming from a layoff of three months. Raced just the once last preparation, finishing second in a steeplechase (2860m) at Kokura. Has found the right to launch this prep. VATRENI (12) is a more than capable chaser yet to win fresh but well placed here. Capable of taking this out. GANDALF (3) was very good when returning from a layoff most recently, saluting by 1.75 lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama. Second-up record reads well, with three wins and one placings from six runs. Will strip fitter and looms large again. |

Maiden Race 1400m
KINTRA DANCER (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of four months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1600m at Chukyo. Commenced last prep with a minor placing at Kyoto over 1600m. Ready for a bold run. OKAGESAN (11) is yet to break through after seven career starts. Managed to find the placings at Chukyo two starts back when resuming before finishing fourth over 1600m at Nakayama last start. Likely to play a major role. SHONAN TAHTI (15) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 0.8 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Nakayama. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. FENCE BREAKER (2) closed last prep three months ago when he finished seventh over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Sure to measure up. |

Maiden Race 2400m
SHINE BAOBAB (13) progressed nicely last time out to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 2600m at Fukushima. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ENGAGE PRIDE (2) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5 lengths when fourth over 2200m at Hanshin two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. SHINE FREELY (12) is building towards a maiden win after minor placings at his last two runs, the latest when second over 2600m at Fukushima, beaten 1.75 lengths. Among the leading chances. JACK O DAMO (1) has not raced since he finished sixth over 2000m at Kokura on March 1. Ticks all the right boxes. |

Allowance Race 1800m
ARGO NAVIS (8) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Did a good job last start to finish third over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 5.5 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. MEISHO COUGAR (11) impressed last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished 2.75 lengths from the winner in third over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. BELLE HISTOIRE (6) was in contention on the corner and finished second last time over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt, beaten 2.5 lengths. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. TANABATA (3) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt only to fade late and finish fourth. Worth including. |

Allowance Race 1600m
KUSS KUSS (4) doesn't win out of turn but was in the finish last time when beaten half a length into second over 1600m at Chukyo. Likely to be fighting out the finish. DAWN CHORUS (8) is back from a spell. Closed last prep in sparkling form with three consecutive wins, the latest over 1400m at Himeji on February 12. A bold showing is expected. FOCAL FLOWER (5) was in the firing line on the bend and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 2.5 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so she is one of the primary contenders. IMPERIAL COURT (6) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing 15th at Chukyo over 1400m. Placed to advantage so expect a bold run. |

WARABI SHO 1800m
TAGANO MAKASIH YA (9) battled on well to hold second last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten one length. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. RED BOB (5) showed good early pace over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt when resuming last time and kept going to score by 6 lengths. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he has the ability to mix it with them. CHUWA KRIS S (7) ran below expectations last time after being prominent on the corner at Nakayama Dirt, finishing 11th and beaten 12 lengths starting at $3.20. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to take this out. MIRAIENO KAGI (2) ran a better race last start, finishing 5.5 lengths away in sixth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. |

TAINAIGAWA TOKUBETSU 1800m
SADAMU OPSIS (9) ran another good race last time when third over 1800m at Hanshin, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has a wide gate to overcome but must be included. TSURUMAU KATACHI (2) lines up for the first time since January 25. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1600m at Nakayama. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with three minor placings from four tries. Has found the right race. MEINER OCEAN (7) resumes. Wasn't far away at last run before a break, finishing seventh over 2000m at Kokura 12 weeks ago. Can make his presence felt. ONAMI KONAMI (3) returns from a layoff of nine weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Kokura. Worth plenty of thought. |

SANJO STAKES 1800m
APPEALING LOOK (10) returned from a spell four weeks ago when she was beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RECIPROCITY (7) returns from a break of ten weeks. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a fourth over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Finds the right race to launch another bright campaign. MEISHO HOMARE (1) is back at the races for the first time since February 22. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1700m at Kokura Dirt. Has switched to the Ryo Takahashi yard. Comes here with definite top-three claims. MARBLE MOUNTAIN (9) didn’t threaten when resuming last start over 1900m at Chukyo Dirt, finishing 12th, beaten 10 lengths. Has been in the money at each second up start. Can do better than last. |

Allowance Race 1000m
BOURBON QUEEN (9) ran below expectations last time at Kokura, finishing seventh and beaten 2.5 lengths starting at $8.40. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PLACE DAUPHINE (1) returns from a spell of ten weeks. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when eighth over 1000m at Kokura Dirt. Should camp just off the leaders. Leading contender. HALLUCINATION (7) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when 12th over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. NISHINO TOKIMEKI (12) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at Kokura, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts. |
