Maiden Race 1400m
MORNING MAGIC (2) is racing well including a last start third over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Great chance to break through. NAMURA PERLE (10) finished third, beaten 7 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt after she was in the firing line on the bend. Ready to go a couple better. ELEPAIO (16) finished third last time over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 3 lengths. In the right race and is a winning hope. ISABELLE SOLEIL (3) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of Kazuo Konishi. By New Year's Day from Isabelledesemaine. Top-three chance. |

Maiden Race 1600m
J L MASTER (10) finished second, beaten 2 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Nakayama after he was prominent at the bend. Placed to advantage and can take this out. VISIBLE LIGHT (16) was close to a win before a break, starting favourite at the latest appearance and finishing third at Nakayama Dirt. Has a tricky gate to overcome. Good chance to open this campaign on a winning note. TERUKEN LEINSTER (11) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Strips fitter and can feature. CAFE ROI D'OR (4) returns after ten weeks in the paddock. Closed the last campaign with a 17th over 2400m at Tokyo. Solid top-three hope. |

Maiden Race 2100m
ROMIHI (5) was in the money two starts back at Chukyo Dirt then missed the frame but was not too far away last time over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Should be parked just off the speed. Overdue and looks a great chance to open winning account. PROFETA (13) finished one length from the winner in second in a much better run last time at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m. Should be poised just off the lead. Sure to be in the finish. ROCK WITH YOU (7) is a seven-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 3.5 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Should progress from that last outing and poses a genuine threat. BONS DUQQA (12) missed the placings on debut then improved last start but found one better over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten a nose. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. |

Maiden Race 2000m
COOK PINE (6) is a three-year-old colt by Black Tide out of Hamahirugao set to debut for the N Hori stable. Profiles strongly for this and expected to go well. MEINER AURUM (5) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was prominent at the turn before being beaten 6 lengths into fourth over 2200m at Nakayama. Likely improver with strong prospects. WINSTANLEY (2) resumed from a spell last start with a sound third over 2000m at Nakayama. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. GOGATSUNOAMANOGAWA (8) filled a minor placing when fresh from a spell two starts ago. Could not back that up last time when 5 lengths away in seventh over 2000m at Nakayama. Likely improver who can feature in the finish. |

Allowance Race 1400m
RED KINGLY (9) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 11 lengths away in eighth over 1800m in the G3 Tokinominoru Kinen at this track on February 16 which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Best form puts him right in this. PEARLY LUSTER (3) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 1.1 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1600m at Nakayama after being prominent at the bend. Nicely placed to get the prize. WIN TWILIGHT (6) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt 11 weeks ago and has not appeared since. Likely improver with bright prospects again. DANON LYRA (4) won at this track and distance at her last outing 11 weeks ago. Makes plenty of appeal. |

Allowance Race 2000m
BEST ME EVER (6) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at this track over 1800m on February 23. Has found the frame at all five visits to this track, including a win. Will prove tough to beat. DUAL WIELDER (1) closed last prep a year ago when he finished third over 2400m at this track. Profiles nicely. TRUST BOSS (5) knuckled down strongly to get within half a length of the winner in second last start over 2500m at Nakayama. Backmarker who gets home hard. One of the contenders. PASTORALE (3) ran below expectations when fresh from a spell at Fukushima over 2000m last time, finishing fifth and beaten 5.5 lengths. Nicely placed to bounce back. |

Allowance Race 1400m
NORD OVEST (12) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1600m at this track. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. SATONO ARPEGGIO (13) lines up for the first time since February 16. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Has found the right race. MONACO BULL (15) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time when sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. FLIPPER (16) has not won for a long while. Last raced on March 22 when beaten 5.5 lengths into eighth at Nakayama Dirt over 1800m after being prominent until the final stages. Likely improver who should be thereabouts. |

Allowance Race 2400m
JUN TSUBAMEGAESHI (6) returns after a spell of four months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 2200m at Chukyo. Sure to make his presence felt. SPEED RICH (7) was comfortably accounted for when third last time out over 2400m at Hanshin, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at Hanshin at the previous outing. Faces an easier assignment so he will prove hard to beat. CAFE GRANDE (2) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 2500m at Nakayama, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. DRAKE PASSAGE (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 2500m at Nakayama, beaten 9 lengths. Fitter so watch for a better performance. |

KOREMASA STAKES 2100m
AMOUREUX DE PARIS (4) returns from a layoff of ten weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Comes here with definite claims. IDEA IGOSSO (9) was an effortless winner last time over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, scoring by 6 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Expected to be in the finish. VIP SCORPION (13) wound up strongly last time at the end of 2000m at Hanshin Dirt to finish second, 0.8 lengths from the winner. M Demuro sticks. One of the main contenders. BLESS WORD (3) scored last start at Nakayama Dirt to make it two wins from two starts this campaign. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. In the mix. |

SWEETPEA STAKES(L) 1800m
GLORY LINK (8) resumes after a break of 12 weeks. Won on debut to launch the last campaign over 1600m at Chukyo. Key runner while fresh. MAGLIA IRIDATA (12) wasted no time getting off the mark on debut over 1800m at this track 11 weeks ago and has not been produced since. Sure to improve and can make it back-to-back wins. ALLMENDHUBEL (6) knuckled down strongly to get within 0.8 lengths of the winner in third last start over 1600m at Nakayama when fresh from a break. Will find this much easier. Should measure up in this field. ROUGE SOLITAIRE (5) lines up on the back of a 2.25 lengths sixth over 1600m at Hanshin. Credentials hard to knock. |

THE KEIO HAI SPRING CUP 1400m
MAMA COCHA (3) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1200m in the G1 Takamatsunomiya Kinen at Chukyo. Will find this a little easier than last start. Bold showing expected. TOSHIN MACAU (9) was in the same race as Mama Cocha at Chukyo, finishing alongside her. Slightly better draw here and fitter again. That looks the right form. LOGI LEON (4) was a narrow winner two back in Listed grade at Kyoto then out of the money last time when ninth in the G3 Lord Derby Challenge Trophy at Nakayama. Gets a little weight relief. Form here at this journey is very good with two wins from four runs. One of the main contenders. SHADOW FURY (1) finished sixth over 1600m in Group 3 class at Chukyo at his most recent appearance on January 5. One to consider with a good run off the inside draw. |

Allowance Race 1600m
RATA FOREST (4) returns from a spell. Finished second at this track and distance at his only appearance last prep 12 weeks ago. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and three minor placings from six starts. Sure to run well. MUSGRAVITE (7) is back from a 11 weeks spell and he does run well first-up, including a win over 1600m at this track at the start of last prep. Solid chance. RED DUNLUCE (5) hasn't made an impression lately despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Top-three chance on best figures. PAKARANG (14) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a head over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Cannot be underestimated. |
