Race 1 1400m
WONDER GELATO (9) finished out of the money when fourth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to get the prize. LIBELLULA (3) has been in the market at her last couple of runs since resuming but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest sixth at this track over 1400m. Rates highly in this line up and gets her chance. SHIMANO DIAMOND (5) finished third two runs back but was less effective last time over 1400m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Finds a nice race and can atone. OE KINTOKI (8) last raced on May 28 when seventh at this track over 1400m. Fitter and can feature here. |

Race 2 1400m
CHIARO VELOCE (2) showed good early muster and fought on to finish third when resuming last start over 1400m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Fitter with strong prospects. ESALTARE (8) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1400m at this track. In the mix. YUNA PINK GOLD (10) was thereabouts two starts ago before a disappointing eighth most recently over 1400m at this track. Can do much better this time. PAY BASQUE (5) drew wide last time and was safely held when eighth over this track and trip. Better than the latest run suggests and can improve sharply. |

Race 3 1400m
PRIME TAILOR (7) was always forward and boxed on to finish third over 1400m at this track last time. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position and can give a great sight. SATONO MINERVA (1) ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second. Looks well placed so expect another big run. PASADENA DREAM (4) finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track in an improved run. Heading in the right direction and can feature. SAKURA GRACIEUX (6) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to maintain the form. |

Race 4 820m
QUEEN CRAFT (8) followed an unplaced effort first-up two runs back with a second last start over 820m at this track. Can go on to take this out. VICTORY BRIDGE (5) was in control from the outset to score on debut over 820m at this track five weeks ago. Looks promising and can measure up again. SUMMER TAIYO (4) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his last appearance at Himeji over 800m on February 27. One to consider. IN SEASON (9) missed the frame last start over 820m at this track when tenth. Better than recent efforts suggest. |

Race 5 1400m
Z MERVEILLE (10) was safely held when fifth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can return to winning ways. GILT EDGE (7) was fresh from a four-month break last start and scored by one length at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including a win and two placings. Winning rider F Komaki stays aboard. Right in this. QUEEN RULER (1) recorded a strong on-speed win last time by a neck over this journey at this track. Expected to feature again. IRWIN (8) was safely held when sixth last start over 1400m here after a good first-up win at this track. Worth plenty of thought. |

Race 6 1400m
AMMODO (2) had been in top form, scoring two consecutive wins before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1400m at this track. Key runner who can make amends. GARDEN CAMELLIA (9) found the line nicely last start to get up for second over 1400m at this track when coming back from a spell. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all seven starts, including a win and is a key runner. O SHIN ANGEL (1) finished second two runs back then improved last time out to score by half a length over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to make it two on the bounce. A SHIN BUONO (8) was below his best last time, finishing eighth over 1400m at this track. Has his share of ability and can do a lot better. |

Race 7 820m
HINATA LADY (7) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 820m at this track. Can make it back-to-back wins. BABE (6) was quickly into stride over 820m at this track last time and went on to score by 2.5 lengths. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to take this out. DID IT (9) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when seventh over 1400m here. Finds a suitable race and can bounce straight back. VELENOSI (5) improved last start to finish second over 820m at this track. Top-three prospect. |

Race 8 820m
YASHIRO BOY (3) lifted strongly to score last time with 1.75 lengths to spare over 820m at this track, making it two in succession. Can go on with it. YOUNG BLOOD (6) went forward last start over 820m at this track and held on well for third. Likely improver with strong prospects. DEVIL SHIZUKACHAN (11) lines up for the first time since February 26. Looking to emulate her win at this track at the beginning of last prep. One to consider. SHIZUKANO UMI (5) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 820m at this track. Suitably placed and can make amends. |

Race 9 820m
BINARY STAR (7) was well in commission last start over 820m at this track when ninth. Worth another chance. SPYWARE (3) finished out of the money when a disappointing 11th over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Look for an improved run. FIRE TORCH (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth starting at $9.40. Well placed and in the mix. SHIROZUKINCHAN (2) won here two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 820m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects. |

Race 10 1400m
DAIGO RYUJIN (4) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing third over 1230m at this track. Has the pace to be thereabouts from the outset and is nicely placed to take this out. A SHIN ELAN (7) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with two wins from three outings. Sure to go well again. IRON MOON (2) started at $4.20 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth here over 1230m. Nicely placed to make amends. HAPPY YELLOW (8) was unwanted in betting last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten a nose into second over 1400m at this track. Can make an impact again. |

Race 11 1400m
MEISHO SHIMATO (9) returns from a break of four months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over 1500m at Himeji. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected fresh. A SHIN JOLT (5) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish sixth over 1400m here last time. Could take catching. MIGRATEUR (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.0 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m here. Nicely placed to take this out. ANTHRACITE (4) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the main hopes. |

Race 12 1230m
LILY HEART (11) raced on the speed and lifted to score by 3.5 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is right in contention. JOSHO TAIGA (8) was ridden quietly from a good draw last start before closing nicely to get up for sixth over 820m at this track. Was outdashed but got going late and looks suited by the extra ground. Expected to prove tough to stop. FANGXIN LADY (7) scored at this track last time out with 3 lengths in reserve at the end of 1400m. Has a good record at this track with two wins and five minor placings. Strong winning hope again. CHERRY RISE (12) showed good speed here last time over 1400m and led into the straight before being claimed and fading to finish fourth. Kazuma Okaki who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Not to be discounted. |
