Maiden Race 1000m
MUSCULAR (4) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1200m at Hakodate when third, beaten 2 lengths. Has plenty of upside so he will prove tough to beat. DONA SOLAIRE (10) was well in the market on debut last time out and ran well but found one better over 1000m at this track. Big chance based on that effort. URESHII GOSAN (6) had good support on debut but ran below expectations when seventh over 1000m at this track. Expected to run much better this time. WIDE ALBA (11) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 7 lengths from the winner in fourth at this track over 1000m. Among the better hopes. |

Maiden Race 1700m
HAPPY WITH YOU (1) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when fifth over 1700m at this track three weeks ago. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. HYZENTHLAY (5) finished eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1700m at this track, beaten only 0.6 lengths. Likely improver with strong prospects. BAD GIRL (10) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fourth after being in contention on the turn at her last appearance over 1700m at this track on June 22. Expected to feature in the finish this time. YUJUANA (6) resumes from a spell of seven months. Could only manage to finish fourth at the latest run over 1400m at Chukyo Dirt. Rates highly on best form and should be in the mix. |

Maiden Race 1200m
BILLIONAIRE BOY (13) led to the turn over 1600m at Kyoto last time out but faded to finish eighth. Freshened up to come back sharply in distance. Will play a major role. BRAVOCERATOPS (8) made considerable ground in the run home to finish third last start over 1200m at this track. Slowly finding form so another bold showing is expected. JULIA FLORIDA (3) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 1.5 lengths when fifth in a 1200m contest at this track three weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. CHANGE OF HEART (1) finished 6 lengths away in sixth at his last appearance over 1600m at Tokyo on June 7. Finds a suitable assignment this time and can improve. |

Maiden Race 1700m
LORD SKYBLUE (5) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Should be poised just off the lead again and will give a great sight. JO DOLIUM (6) is yet to break through in five runs. Finished fourth at his last appearance over 1700m at this track on June 21. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. BLACK RATION (11) is a four-start maiden who resumed from a spell last start and was beaten 7 lengths when fourth over 1700m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. TOMOJA EVE (13) was out of the money two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1700m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into sixth. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect. |

Newcomer Race 1200m
CLAN (5) is a two-year-old filly by Danon Premium out of Step Beyond set to debut for the Kon stable. Should be primed for a strong showing. Keep an eye on betting. INTIMISTE (3) is a two-year-old colt by Caravaggio out of Olympic Las Palmas set to debut for the Suzuki stable. One to keep close tabs on, particularly if popular with punters. HIGHER MARK (6) is on debut. By Bricks And Mortar and is out of the Tezuka stable. Expected to feature. MOZU PLUS FORT (1) is facing the starter for the first time. By Mozu Ascot and comes from the Yahagi stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves. |

Maiden Race 2000m
ROPA CHIC (15) finished second on debut 11 months ago, beaten one length over 1800m at Sapporo, and has not been produced since. Has a wide gate to overcome but is expected to prove tough to beat. STEVE BAROWS (12) was well fancied last start over 1800m at this track when third, beaten 2.75 lengths. Great chance to atone. CLASSICAL KAISER (9) has been kept fresh for this since a disappointing seventh last start over 2000m at Niigata eight weeks ago. Miku Kobayashi has never been out of the money from three rides. Has winning claims on best figures. PERE NOEL (3) finished 4.5 lengths away in fifth at his last appearance over 2000m at this track on June 28 after he was well back on straightening. In the mix. |

Allowance Race 1800m
ROD HORN (1) was well held in the Sankei Sports Sho Flora Stakes (Japanese Oaks Trial) won by Kamunyak over 2000m at Tokyo at her last appearance 11 weeks ago. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role back in this company. PARTICULIER (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at her only appearance last prep at Tokyo over 1600m on April 26. Should be prominent from the outset. Best figures should see her run well. PIRIKA SUNRISE (10) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was beaten 4 lengths into fifth over 2000m at this track. Strips fitter and can run another big race. WIN CHAGAS (8) was unplaced two runs back when fresh from a spell then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to find some form. |

Allowance Race 1700m
SATONO SHAMROCK (3) opened this campaign last start with a second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Fitter for that run and looks a bit better than these. SUNRISE BULLET (7) got off the mark over 1700m at this track last start, scoring by 5 lengths. Katsuma Sameshima was in the saddle on that occasion and retains the mount. Nicely placed to double the win tally. FORTE FIORE (10) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 17 lengths into 14th over 1800m at Hakodate. Should park just off the speed. Winning claims on best figures. I WILL (11) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 2 March, finishing eighth and beaten 6 lengths over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt. Comes here with definite top-three claims. |

HOKKAI HANDICAP 1800m
MIKKI JEWELRY (3) is a promising type who scored at her only run last prep nine weeks ago over 1600m at Kyoto. Has an impressive first-up record including two victories. Should roll along and give a great sight. MARUKA OPERA (11) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by 1.3 lengths at this track and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Must raise the bar but another big run will not surprise. WIN ACTEUR (8) pushed forward when resuming last time and boxed on to finish 2.75 lengths away in third over 2000m at this track. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. ARGENTEUS (6) was unwanted in betting when resuming last start but performed beyond expectations when beaten 1.2 lengths into fourth over 1600m at Hanshin. Can make an impact again. |

FUNKAWAN TOKUBETSU 1000m
COUP D'AILES (10) turned in a fine effort to win by 1.3 lengths at today's track and distance when resuming from a break last start. Must raise the bar but another win beckons. RURAL HAPPINESS (12) comes here off a break of 12 weeks. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Comes here with definite claims. T M TALISMA (9) resumed over 1000m at this track last start and was too good for his rivals, scoring by half a length. Generally runs well second-up and can go on with it. XEBEC (8) was safely held when ninth last time out over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 4.5 lengths, after a win at Niigata Dirt at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. |

TOMOE SHO 1800m
CONTRAPPOSTO (10) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 10 May, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths over 1800m in the G3 Epsom Cup at Tokyo. Capable of playing a major role in this company. KEIAI SENA (4) led to the turn over 1800m in Listed grade at Kyoto last time out but faded to finish sixth. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset once again. Expected to be in the finish. DONA BETTY (3) is a talented filly who tackled a tougher race at her last run on April 12 and finished ninth behind Safira over 1600m in the G2 Hanshin Himba Stakes. Yutaka Take is back on and has a solid record on the four-year-old, including three wins. Capable of running a bold race. SOLIDARITY (6) comes here off a break of ten weeks. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 2000m at Hanshin. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. |

Allowance Race 1200m
HOLLYWOOD MEMORY (5) was well fancied last start over 1200m at this track when fourth, beaten 2.5 lengths. Has a win and two minor placings at this journey from four starts and should prove tough to beat. JASPER DIVINE (3) is a promising galloper who resumes from a break. Last raced when second over 1200m at Hanshin four months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Should take up a forward position and looks sure to be in the finish. O K DYNA (6) scored narrowly over 1200m at this track last time out with today's jockey Yutaka Take in the irons. Gets some weight relief this time so another bold run looks likely. MAXIMUM DRIVE (2) didn't do a bad job when second last start over 1200m at this track. That followed a win at Monbetsu the start prior. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance. |
