Race 1 1600m
MIRACULOUS CITY (2) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start in a far better run. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot repeat the dose. SCOTCH KILT (7) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by 0.8 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend over 1600m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. EUGENES (8) met with solid support last start over 2000m at this track when third, beaten 2 lengths. Has managed three minor placings from four runs at this circuit. Strong claims on his best form. ZATOICHI (6) has not won for a long while. Last raced on May 1 when beaten 1.75 lengths into fourth at this track over 1600m. Best figures measure up nicely. Should be about the money. |

Race 2 1200m
GOLD BRAIN (8) hit the frame when resuming two runs back at this track but couldn't back it up last start when sixth, beaten 4 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GOLDEN OJA (12) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. BAKSHEESH (11) was safely held last time when beaten 3 lengths into fifth at today's course and distance. Has a wide gate to contend with again. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Will give backers a great sight. ANELA KAIKAMAHINE (4) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a nice race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1200m at this track, finishing third and beaten 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Set to run well again. |

Race 3 1600m
TWILIGHT (1) is a last-start winner over 1400m at this track, showing good early speed on the occasion and leading throughout to score by 1.75 lengths. Sure to take some stopping again. BREST (5) looks close to a win, the latest effort a strong third, beaten 1.3 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Leading player again. UENOMARU THUNDER (7) broke through for his maiden win over 1600m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and he cannot be underestimated. KOFUSEIGETSU (9) continued a frustrating run for connections when a close second over 1600m at this track last time. Yet to win at this distance but has recorded three minor placings so he is worth including. |

Race 4 1400m
BESEELT (12) is back from a spell of four months. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 1400m contest at this track by 3.5 lengths. Ticks all the right boxes. MR JOHN (14) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Last appeared when he finished second over 1400m at this track on June 25. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Will play a major role. MIKUNI SUNBEAM (5) returns from a spell of four months and did score first-up when last in work at this track over 1200m. Lines up for the first time for the Terunobu Fujita stable. Sound top-three prospects. TSURUMARU VIOLET (8) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten 0.8 lengths. Will strip fitter this time. Placed to advantage so expect another bold run. |

Race 5 1200m
GRASS COMET (3) broke through for her maiden win over 1200m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Has a low draw and she is a key runner. IO RAY (9) started favourite last time out over 1200m at this track but found a couple better, making it four minor placings from four starts this campaign. He is a real danger. ONE HOT MINUTE (8) was well fancied last start over 1200m at this track when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Can bounce back. ADHARA'S PRAYER (11) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1200m at this track, beaten a head. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Capable of another top-three outcome. |

IIDE KANTARO (7) returns from a spell of four months and did win first-up last time in work over 1600m at this track. Will be tough to beat. BAIARDO (4) finished fourth when resuming two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.75 lengths. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.

Sure to run well. HAAVITIPEI (10) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. |

Race 7 1200m
KUCHOMOZA KWA JUA (3) scored at this track last time out with 1.5 lengths in reserve at the end of 1200m. Boasts six wins here. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. SMILE KEI (10) is racing well and has registered six minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1200m at this track. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. SHOSAN REX (1) finished eighth when resuming two runs back then progressed nicely last time out after being in the firing line on the corner to score by a head over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. WING WIND (9) finished 6 lengths adrift in sixth last time over 1200m at this track in a disappointing performance.

Race 8 1600m
TRANSIENT (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.3 lengths away in second over 1600m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Looks well placed so expect another big run. BURST OF COLOUR (8) turned in a modest performance when second last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. FIRST FORTE (2) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at this track, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Nicely placed to get the prize.

Race 9 1200m
YUMEGOTEN (12) scored last time over 1200m at this track, making it two victories from three appearances this campaign. Form here at the trip is sound with three wins and a minor placing from four runs. A bold showing is likely. POWER KINGDOM (13) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track. Will be close to the pace despite the draw. Winning rider Ryuji Tatsushiro stays aboard. Bold showing expected. T'S ISLAND (15) went forward and proved too strong last time, scoring with a neck to spare over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Mai Fukuhara stays aboard. Expected to measure up. WINDSOR BAROWS (14) is back after a break of five months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Worth plenty of thought. |

Race 10 1400m
SILENT BLACK (10) lifted strongly to get the prize by 4 lengths three runs back at this track before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Nicely placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. PRESTO ARTHUR (15) was in the firing line on the corner and finished 0.8 lengths from the winner in second last start at this track over this distance. Has a very good record over today's journey with two wins from four starts. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Will prove tough to beat.

MAEN JARAN (4) ran a better race last start, finishing 1.75 lengths away in fifth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 11 1200m
VIKRANT (4) scored at this track last time out with 1.75 lengths in reserve at the end of 1000m. Has five wins here. Drawn to enjoy a nice trail just off the pace. Best form puts him right in this. PAUOLE (5) finished 19 lengths behind the winner in seventh place when resuming over 1400m last start at Urawa. Has a fair record when second up, including two top-three finishes. Among the winning hopes. OMEGA SYMPHONY (13) was safely held on the JRA circuit two back then appreciated the easier company last time when second over 1200m at this track. Well placed and among the leading players. LOUIS (9) started at $2.60 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at this track over 1200m. Takayuki Yano who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Must be respected. |

Race 12 1650m
IVY SAMURAYO (7) has been kept fresh since an all-the-way win over 1600m at this track. Should be ridden positively again and is a leading contender. BUILD RAPPORT (13) has been thereabouts lately without being able to break through, the latest effort a second at this track over 1650m. Overdue and looks a top chance. AUTO BIANCHI (6) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1650m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. REALISER UN REVE (1) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1400m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. |
