Race 1 1000m
STEEL THUNDER (5) was in the money first up then met with strong support last time but could only manage sixth over 1200m at this track. Rates highly and can bounce back. TOKEN SHUN (8) is a 10-start maiden who is well and truly overdue. Has two minor placings from two runs this preparation. Perfectly placed this time and can find the winner's circle. KATSUNO DIA (4) finished third last start over 1000m at this track. Suited for this race and can salute the judge. IKENO CITY (12) returned from a spell with a sound third last start over 1200m at this track. Strips fitter and can play a role in the finish. |

Race 2 1000m
MISODOREMI (4) ran well on debut last start to finish second over 1000m at this track in a tougher race. Better for that outing and looks a great chance to break through. EARTH CALLING (8) missed the frame on debut then improved last time when third over 1000m at this track. Will drift back but wind up late. Promising type who is expected to run well. A SHIN SHIKIBU (2) was solid on debut last start when fourth over 1000m at this track on May 1. In the mix. CONTI PICKLES (1) drifted back on debut last start then came home soundly to finish fifth over 1100m at this track. Will kick on following that hitout. One of the main chances. |

Race 3 1100m
SHIMME FABLE (2) is a two-year-old colt on debut by Copano Rickey from Tagatame who has been a most successful broodmare. Has a nice gate and can run a bold race. A SHIN IWAHASHIRU (3) is on debut for the Hideki Kakugawa stable. Two-year-old colt by Asia Express from A Shin Himawari. Should get all the favours out of an inside gate. One to keep close tabs on, particularly if popular with punters. A SHIN VIENTO (4) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Masakazu Murakami. By Lovely Day from El Viento. Expected to feature. SUPER AOCHAN (6) is appearing for the first time. By American Patriot and comes from the Nozomi Ono stable. Worth watching for a betting push. |

Race 4 1000m
AQUANAUT (1) is on debut for the Hiroaki Sakurai stable. Two-year-old filly by Talismanic from Harusae Kureba. Likely to get all the favours from this favourable draw. Should measure up. Keep a close eye on betting. BLUE COSMOS (3) is on debut for the Hideki Kakugawa stable. Two-year-old filly by Mikki Rocket from Daiwa Caliente. Should get into a favourable position out of an inside gate. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. PRESLEY (4) is on debut for the Hiroto Kawashima stable. Two-year-old colt by Incantation from Stella Regalo. One to keep tabs on. THREE BANKER'S (8) is facing the starter for the first time. By Mozu Ascot and comes from the Junji Tanaka stable. Worth watching for a betting push. |

Race 5 1000m
SASAKIN TOMOJIRO (4) turned in a fine effort to win by a nose at this track and distance when resuming from a layoff last time out. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. KONGO (6) is back at the races for the first time since September 24. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1000m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. KATSUNO TOKIMEKI (9) showed good early speed over 1000m at this track on debut last start and went on to salute by 1.5 lengths. One of the main contenders. ARMY LOOK (5) is coming along nicely this prep, scoring by 0.8 lengths last start over 1000m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. |

Race 6 1000m
LUNA ELF (4) went forward last start over 1000m at this track and held on well for third, only beaten a neck. Ideally placed and can give this a mighty shake. NISHINO LAEVIGATA (2) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing third over 1000m at this track. Well-placed and could take running down. BLACKMORE (9) performed above expectations last time over 1000m at this track, finishing only 0.8 lengths from the winner in second after starting at big odds. Has claims. GOLDEN ISLE (6) is resuming from a spell of 11 weeks and having her first run for the Tomoki Kurokawa yard. Was in the placings when first-up from a spell last campaign at this track over 1000m and should be primed for this. |

Race 7 1200m
T O EDISON (12) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1000m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Jumps from a wide draw but he can go on with it. MATTERHORN (1) comes here off a last-start fourth over 1200m at this track. Has a good record at this journey and is among the top chances. CINNAMON DAISY (8) last appeared six weeks ago over 1700m at Nagoya when she finished ninth. This is her first run for the Hiroto Kawashima stable. Sure to make her presence felt. IMMORTAL WIND (9) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. In the mix. |

Race 8 1700m
HANEGA HAETEMASU (7) was an emphatic winner last time over 1600m at this track with today's rider Ryu Abe engaged. Looks tough to beat again. GAME UPLOAD (1) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when seventh over 1600m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. BELLAGIO KENSHIRO (11) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just one length from the winner in second over 1600m at this track. Cherry-ripe now and sure to be very competitive. PROUD HISTORY (5) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1600m at this track, finishing tenth. Has his share of talent and can do a lot better. |

Race 9 1200m
COPANO INORI (4) resumes from a spell of three months and is having her first outing under new trainer Hiroaki Sakurai. Finished eighth at Kasamatsu over 1600m at the opening run last time in work. Nicely placed and should be primed for this. ROPIA (6) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a seventh here two starts back then got the job done by 1.5 lengths as favourite last time out over 1000m at this track. Must be respected. MAGIC LINE (7) was last at the races when he finished eighth over 1800m at this track on October 23. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race fresh. MISS NANNA (1) ran a better race when second up last time out, finishing sixth over 1000m at this track. Ready to peak and expected to go close. |

Race 10 1000m
ASAGAO (2) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1000m, finishing fourth after a string of four wins. Must be respected. KITASAN YAMABUKI (7) was well in the market last but disappointed when ninth over 1000m at this track. Better than the last effort suggests and deserves another chance. KEIAI WHAKAPONO (5) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Sure to be thereabouts again. ORTHO JUPITER (9) promising filly who last start finished fourth over 1200m at this track. Third up today and fitter is one of the major players. |

Race 11 1200m
STEEL MAGIC (9) resumes following a break of 15 months. Is unbeaten when fresh from a spell and has been in the money three times from seven runs at this course. Strong credentials and should be fighting out the finish. OKAMMO SHACHO (3) recorded another success last time over 1200m at this track making it two straight wins this campaign. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. MONONOFU BLACK (6) scored at this track last time out with a neck in reserve at the end of 1200m. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Can go on with it. GOOD BOY (7) first up run was just average, finishing seventh over 1200m at this track. Has a perfect second-up record from three starts and expect a better outcome this time. |

Race 12 1600m
POR LA NOCHE (1) was first up from a spell last start and saluted by 6 lengths at this track over 1700m. Has a very good record here including four wins from eight starts. Too good to ignore. SHIMME RUBUS (4) finished off the last campaign with a win over 2000m at Urawa on March 20. Returns from the break for a new yard. Generally runs well when fresh with two wins and one minor placing from four runs. Sure to be competitive. YOSHINO HEROINE (5) showed good early speed over 1000m at this track last time and went on to salute by a nose. Has a strong record here, including three wins. Capable of a big run. LIGHT VEIL (3) raced on the speed from the outset when resuming last start and finished second over 1200m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on her best form she is right in contention. |
