Race 1 1600m
LE GRAND BLEU (6) was well in commission last start over 1600m at this track when second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Can bounce back. MIRACULOUS CITY (9) ran below expectations last time after being in contention on the bend at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 7 lengths starting at $4.60. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FINE DAY (11) finished second at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1600m at this track, finishing 9 lengths back in eighth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. IKENO GAL CHAN (3) has been in the money at her last couple of runs, the latest when second over 1600m at this track. Backmarker who gets home hard. Deserves respect on best figures. |

Race 2 1200m
GOLDEN OJA (12) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by half a length at this track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again. NATSUMIKAN (9) progressed nicely last time out to finish just a head from the winner in second over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MIHATA TATENASHI (1) raced on the speed and dug deep to score by one length at this track and distance when resuming from a break last time out. Likely to be there at the finish again. LOCUS MARIANNE (11) comes here off a break of four months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1200m at this track. Sure to make her presence felt. |

Race 3 1600m
ESPRIT WORLD (12) did his best work late to score by half a length at the most recent appearance over 1400m at this track at the second run of the campaign. Can make it back-to-back wins. GO GO EAGLES (10) is a distance specialist who could only manage 11th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1600m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. RARITAS (2) steps up in trip after he was well held last time in 11th over 1400m at this track. Should be poised just off the lead. Should be involved in the finish. SHU BOY (4) settled well back but hit the line well to finish sixth, beaten 5 lengths, over 1200m here last time. Was outdashed but got going late and the longer journey looks ideal. Has ability and a bold showing is expected. |

Race 4 1200m
BEAN SMOKE MOCHA (10) was in a different class last time, sitting just off the speed before letting down impressively for a 2.5 lengths win at this track over 1200m. In great form and is well-placed to feature again. MR JOHN (7) went forward when resuming last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for third, beaten 6 lengths. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ADHARA'S PRAYER (8) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest at this track over 1200m. Expected to run well again. AFRO RAIDEL (6) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when tenth over 1600m at this track, beaten 23 lengths. In contention this time. |

Race 5 1600m
LAMORAK (4) was an emphatic winner last time over 1600m at this track with today's rider Keita Nishi engaged. Has a formidable record at this journey with three wins and two placings from seven starts and should prove tough to beat. AQUILONE (8) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1600m at this track, scoring by 2 lengths. Has been given a let-up of six weeks since that outing. Record at this trip is excellent and another big run will not surprise. FIRST MATE (2) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1600m at this track, an improvement on his eighth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. COLORADO FOUNTAIN (11) failed to figure again last time over 1600m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths into fifth. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Don't underestimate. |

Race 6 1400m
ALL'S FAIR (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1600m at this track. Has the pace to take a forward position. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. MIKKI SUBARU (3) disappointed at his last run four months ago when fourth at this track, that effort following back-to-back wins. Good effort at the start of last prep to fill a minor placing over 1200m at this track. Leading contender. YAMASHO CHARISMA (12) finished second over 1200m at this track at his most recent appearance on October 18. Sure to make his presence felt. YUINO SAMBANKAN (1) failed to figure again last time over 1400m at this track, beaten 9 lengths into fifth. Cannot be left out of calculations. |

Race 7 1200m
KUCHOMOZA KWA JUA (13) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 3.5 lengths over 1200m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Can measure up again. JAZZ SMILE (9) resumed over 1200m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by 2.5 lengths. Will be better for that latest run and he is a major player again. AMIFUJI MOANA (8) had a bit on her rivals last time with an impressive 4 lengths win over 1200m at this track. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and four minor placings from six outings. Should be involved in the finish. IMPERIO (7) ran well below his best last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth at $2.60. Form here at this trip reads three wins from six starts. Don't underestimate. |

Race 8 1600m
RULER OF DIRT (11) returns from a spell of five months and did score first-up when last in work at this track over 1600m. Lines up for the first time for the Kazuo Watanabe stable. Leading contender. TRANSIENT (6) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3 lengths at this track over 1600m. One of the top chances again. BUSH TESORO (10) saluted at this track two runs ago. Decent effort last time out when eighth over 1600m at this track, beaten 2.5 lengths. Nicely placed to return to winning form. BIG AMERICAN (4) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1600m at this track. Should take some beating again. |

Race 9 1200m
MASTER KEY (7) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second when he was prominent throughout over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to take this out. KEN VIVALDI (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 6 lengths starting at $3.90. Can bounce back. KITANO RYAN (6) ran below his best last start when beaten 6 lengths into seventh from a wide draw over today's course and distance. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Should be involved in the finish. NANSEI TIME (9) improved last start to finish third over 1200m at this track. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 10 1800m
HIRABOKU LAUGH IT (3) is a promising type still in first campaign but off to a great start to career. Has racked up wins at his last three runs, the latest scoring over 1500m at Funabashi. Key chance and expected to go close. MOUNTAIN LAUREL (5) was successful last start over 2000m at this track, getting home by half a length to make it three wins in a row. Winning rider Takayuki Yano retains the mount. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. DREAM JAPAN (11) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1600m at Kawasaki nine weeks ago. Has a perfect first-up record from two starts. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Winning claims on best figures. FATHER TO SON (1) finished last campaign with a couple of minor placings, the latest over 1600m at this track three months ago. Should settle handy in the run. Must be respected. |

Race 11 1200m
TENDO (10) returns from a break of six-and-a-half months. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1400m at this track. Expected to bring the good form from last campaign to this contest. NEO TOKIO (2) did his best work late to score by half a length at the most recent appearance over 1200m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Likely to measure up again. JET SPEED (13) is a genuine six-year-old gelding who resumed with a solid second last time out at this track over 1200m. Bright prospects. LAMPRON (8) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1200m at this track. Well placed to figure prominently again. |

Race 12 1400m
GREATEST WORK (7) built on a nice third when fresh from a spell two starts back at this track with success as favourite over 1600m at this track six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 1.3 lengths. Can go on with it. SHADOW LUPIN (4) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track when he worked home well. Goes up a rung or two but he is worth serious consideration. KITASAN UNISON (10) turned in a sound effort last time but found a couple better at this track over 1400m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has been in the money at all eight starts this preparation, including a win. Has to be respected. ARRIBA (12) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish ninth over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Could improve. |
