NAMURA DARIUS (6) ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten one length. Has his share of talent and finds another suitable race. NORTHERN PEAK (8) improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths. Capable enough on his day and is a key runner. MARBLE MIMI (7) missed the placings last start when ninth over 1500m at this track. Suitably placed and can turn things around.
2 12:05 Race 2 1500m
WHISTLE BAIT (3) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1500m at this track when beaten 3 lengths. Tatsuya Nakajima stays on. Likely to feature. LINK ARMS (9) comes here off a last-start sixth over 1500m at this track. Has a solid record here and this sets up well for her. SILVER STELLA (4) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1500m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. MERRY MOANA (2) last start finished seventh at this track over 1500m. Fitter and is among the chances.

TOP TARUMAE (1) was prominent from the outset when second over 1500m at this track last time out. Strike rate this course and distance is impressive. Another bold showing is expected.

STAR KANAZAWA (5) finished out of the money when fifth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. This doesn't look as hard and is a top hope. WALTRAUTE (3) improved last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
4 01:20 Race 4 1400m
EIGHT MILE (1) has not raced since he scored over 1400m at this track on May 11. Can kick off with another win here. ARMA JACK (6) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1500m at this track. Sure to run his usual honest race. ZELOSO (3) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at Kochi over 1600m. Won't find this as tough so he is a major player. ALI ETERNE (2) produced a better run last start when fourth over 1500m at this track. Well placed to feature.

BOUGAINVILLEA (1) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by 1.5 lengths last start over 1400m at this track. In the mix. BELLWOOD BONHEUR (6) has accrued seven minor placings from nine runs this campaign. Finished 1.5 lengths from the winner in second last time out over 1500m at this track. In a suitable race and can figure in the finish again.

GREIG UN (1) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed and can win again. MARUMO GENIE (3) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 8 lengths at this track. Yet to miss the placings from three starts at this circuit. Among the leading chances. LITTLE QUEEN BEE (2) last appeared four weeks ago over 1400m at Kawasaki when she finished tenth. This is her first run for the Toshiyuki Takahashi stable. Solid top-three hope. RYUNO NAUTILUS (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a spell last time out. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is one of the key runners.
7 03:15 Race 7 1400m
QUEEN'S PARFAIT (8) showed good early speed and led throughout to score by a neck last start over 1500m at this track. Koga Hirotaka has been the pilot at her last two wins. Commands respect.

MEISHO MAKUJIKI (10) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Fitter and a likely improver here in easier.
8 03:50 Race 8 1400m
APOLLO MIRACLE (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 7 lengths at today's course and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of another big run. MANI HERO (3) finished third two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by half a length as public elect over 1500m at this track.
