Race 1 1400m
WE KNOW THE WAY (5) finished out of the money when sixth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago after being prominent at the corner. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. AOI WINDOM (8) is a six-start maiden who finished 12th at her most recent outing over 1600m at Tokyo. This easier assignment offers her a great chance of breaking through. RIKEA DIMBULA (10) has switched yards since finishing 12th a month ago over 1400m at Tokyo. Has ability and makes plenty of appeal in this suitable race. TOA RHODANTHE (7) hasn't featured at her last two runs, the latest when 17th at Kyoto. Easier assignment this time and should do much better. |

Race 2 1400m
SATTOOR (9) has switched yards since finishing 11th five-and-a-half weeks ago over 2000m at Kyoto. Looks set to run well for the new barn. VERRINE (10) last appeared a month ago over 1400m at Tokyo when she finished 18th. This is her first run for the Yutaka Kuroki stable. One of the genuine hopes in the race. AGIATO (4) is a three-start maiden who finished sixth when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Definite top-three hope with plenty of improvement to come. KAZUNO MARIA (7) finished sixth over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt at her most recent appearance on March 29. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Masaya Suzuki. Comes here with definite claims. |

Race 3 1500m
COSMO LISTENER (5) missed the placings last start when 11th over 2200m at Kyoto. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. GOLD GENERAL (4) put the writing on the wall last time when third at this track over 1500m. Big chance to grab a well-deserved win.

Race 4 1500m
RYUNO NAUTILUS (4) resumes in a similar race to his last run six-and-a-half months ago when he scored by 4 lengths. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal fresh. MAJOKKO PIROKO (3) made progress last start to finish second over 1500m at this track. Closing in on a win and gets her chance to get off the mark. FIERY HOT (7) gave away a big start at the top of the straight last start and finished tenth over 1400m at this track. Finds the right race and is worth consideration. ODEN RUBY (6) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing seventh. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 5 1400m
GREIG UN (9) continues to improve and should be at his peak now after finishing in the money at this track over 1400m last time when second. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. KANNAGI (6) tackled a dirt track for the first time last over today's course and distance and finished fourth. Could prove hard to beat with that last run under her belt. TOSHO CLOUD (5) finished 11th after being in contention on the turn at his last appearance over 2000m at Niigata on May 17. Expected to feature in the finish this time in this suitable assignment. KOYU RASSERA (3) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when second at this track over 1500m. Fitter and a major player. |

Race 6 1400m
BUY AND HOLD (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1400m after being in contention all the way. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Nicely placed to find winning ways. MARUMO GENIE (6) has registered two minor placings from three runs this preparation. Continued the trend last time out when runner-up over 1400m at this track after she was always up in the leading division. Must be included on the strength of that form. AMYGDALA (7) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish sixth over 1400m at this track. Must be included among the main hopes. SOUTHERN BRAVE (10) could only manage to finish sixth at his latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Likely improver. |

Race 7 1500m
KENROKU CHARMANT (9) got home by a neck last time out over 1400m at this track. Boasts three wins here. Yuma Shibata who has scored on him three times retains the mount. Leading contender. BAM (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Drawn for a good trail just off the pace. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the chief contenders. MANI HERO (6) made progress last start to finish third over 1400m at this track. The engagement of Tatsuya Nakajima is a positive move. Capable of testing his rivals. OCEA FRANKEL (1) has missed the frame at his last couple of outings, the latest when a disappointing 12th over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Easier assignment this time and should do much better. |

Race 8 1500m
BOWMAN (2) is racing well. Scored here two back then finished third over 1500m at this track at the latest appearance two weeks ago. Major player who is capable of taking this out. BASED TRATRA (9) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Can go on with it. CHONO YONI MAU (6) is finding the breakthrough elusive, finishing eighth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track. Better than that run suggests and worth including. BLUE TRAILER (3) was below par when fifth over this course and distance last start. Has a much better draw this time and is among the better chances. |

Race 9 1500m
AL SATWA (5) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 6 lengths victory over 1500m at this track three weeks ago. Has a strong association with Tatsuya Nakajima who has been in the saddle for his last two wins. Major player. DEEP MIND (3) finished second two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1500m at this track, finishing back in seventh. Rates highly on his best performances and can bounce back. NOBUTOMO (4) ran a nice race last time out over 1500m at this track, finishing third. Can get home into the money again. KURINO KING BOSS (8) progressed nicely last time out to finish just one length from the winner in second over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed and in the mix. |

Race 10 1400m
METAL SPARK (6) is usually thereabouts, finishing third and only 2.5 lengths from the winner at the end of 1400m last start. Can secure another top-three finish. GENEROSITE (4) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when second over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HEART LOCK (3) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from four starts. Key runner. JUJU JUNE (2) produced another moderate effort last start when eighth over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed and can turn things around. |

Race 11 1400m
IMPERIAL MOAT (7) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from four runs. Can measure up again. MEISHO GORUSHI (4) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing 1.5 lengths away in second over 1500m at this track. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish again. WAREWA KAZENOKO (1) settled at the rear then stoked up nicely in the straight to finish fourth over 1500m here last time. One of the main contenders. CASSADAGA (5) missed the frame last start over 1700m here when eighth. Better than recent efforts suggest and worth consideration here. |

Race 12 1700m
OKEN DUKE (9) didn't do a bad job when fourth last start over 1400m at this track, only beaten 1.1 lengths after he made late ground. That followed a win here the start prior. Capable of another big performance. TEIKOKU (4) built on a nice second two starts back with success over 1500m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by one length. Taiga Kurihara scored on him last time and retains the mount. Right in contention. PRECIOSO (1) is having his second run back from a break after he failed to threaten first up over 1400m at Kyoto. Will make his presence felt here in easier. GOLD BRAVO (2) was out of the money last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |
