Maiden Race 2860m
DANON JACKAL (12) returns from a 169-day spell. Concluded the last prep with a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track, beaten a neck. Well-placed here and sure to be tough to beat. GAIN SUPPORT (11) opened the campaign with a respectable third in a maiden steeplechase (2910m) at Kyoto then last start could only manage seventh in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo 43 days ago. Likely to be thereabouts. VOLL GEIL (4) missed the frame two runs ago in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Turned things around last time when he filled a minor placing in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. The recent form should stack up. RAZZLE DAZZLE (7) is resuming from a lengthy break. Started just once last campaign, finishing sixth in a maiden steeplechase (2860m) at this track. Expect him to be prominent. |

Maiden Race 1200m
SHADOW FACE (2) pushed forward from a wide draw when resuming last start and found a position close to the lead before sticking on well to finish third over 2000m at this track. In the right race and is a winning hope. DURA LUNA (5) missed the placings two starts back then ran a better race and finished 6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at this track. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. MOZU REIRA COCONA (6) is a six-start maiden who finished fourth, beaten 0.7 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. MY IDOL (9) stepped out on her debut over 1200m at Niigata eight weeks ago and finished seventh, beaten 3 lengths. Top-three chance with that run under her belt. |

Allowance Race 1800m
IN VOGUE (3) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Fitter so expect a better run this time. ELEGANCIA (5) finished fifth over 2200m at Kyoto at her most recent appearance on May 3. Progressive filly who looks a winning chance despite the break between runs. ENJOLRAS (8) wasn't far away when resuming last start, finishing second over 1600m at Hanshin after he gave away a big start. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. Likely to play a major role. FATE LINE (2) accounted for a maiden field over 1600m at Hanshin last start, finishing a neck ahead of the nearest rival. Re-unites with Seinosuke Yoshimura who was on board last start. This is tougher but he is capable of another big run. |

UNZEN TOKUBETSU 1000m
FEMME ELEGANTE (8) is a speedy filly who returned from a break with a win over 1000m at this track, making it two wins from just three outings. Sure to race up on the speed again and is likely to feature in the finish. GETTY VILLA (4) scored over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt at his most recent appearance on April 27. Expect him to play a major role despite the gap between runs. ASTER RUHUNA (11) comes here off a break of three-and-a-half months. Scored over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt to launch the last campaign. One to consider. CENTAUR BEAST (10) scored a commanding victory at Kyoto Dirt over 1200m at his latest appearance on 10 May, the only time he faced the starter in that campaign. Should camp just off the leaders. Not to be discounted. |

SEIBU SUPONICHI SHO 2000m
RABBITEYE (1) is back from a spell of three-and-a-half months and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 2000m at this track. Will be tough to beat. NIGHT SLUGGER (5) has not appeared since he finished sixth over 2200m at Kyoto on April 27. Hasn't scored when fresh from a break but generally races well with three minor placings. Expect him to play a major role. CARINO (4) scored a dominant win at Fukushima over 2000m at his latest appearance on April 26. Boasts three minor placings when returning from a break. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. TAKETOMBO (8) is a consistent performer with three minor placings from three starts this prep. Good effort last start when runner-up over 2000m at Kyoto. Must be included in this sort of form. |

MOZU MIGIKATAAGARI (9) has been about the mark of late. Last time out was 0.8 lengths from the winner in third over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset.

Miyuki who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Fitter and should play a role in the finish. |
