Race 1 1400m
COSMO VERED (6) built on a nice second two starts back at Mizusawa with a win as public elect over 1200m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Toshiya Yamamoto scored on him last time and retains the ride. Can score again. GEISTVOLL (1) is back after a break of 11 months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Rates highly and should perform well. MARUKA FRONTALE (4) ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten a nose to make it back-to-back seconds. Looks close to a win. MIDORITATSU (3) turned in a better effort last time at the second run back to finish third over 1200m at this track. Can progress further. |

Race 2 1400m
IN THE HOPPER (5) performed well last time at this track and distance, finishing second and only 2.5 lengths from the winner. That was his third placing from his last four starts so the hoof is on the till. Could find winning form. COSMO BELLAESTELLA (8) is yet to break through after 27 starts but is not far off a win. Got close when placed two back then was thereabouts last time, beaten 3.4L. Nicely placed to open his account. GO STRAIGHT (1) is stepping out for his first run for the Yoshinori Itagaki stable. Draws the inside and can measure up. LEO BOMBAYE (6) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before boxing on to finish fourth, beaten 1.6 lengths. Can figure in the finish. |

Race 3 1400m
DESERVE RUN (6) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by 1.3 lengths over 1200m at this track. Has a decent record at this track with two wins and three minor placings from nine starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Expected to be in the finish. TAMAMO POLONAISE (4) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. LORD PALACE (1) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten half a length. Aided by the inside draw and is among the better chances. FUKU REGULUS (7) is racing well and has registered four minor placings in a row, last time out finishing second over 1000m at this track. Must respect. |

Race 4 1200m
NUTS NUTS (10) produced a decent effort on debut two-and-a-half weeks ago, finishing third over 1000m at this track. Breaks from a wide draw but is open to natural improvement and the extra 200m should suit so he could be hard to beat. COMBAT GIGOLO (9) has finished fourth in both starts at Mizusawa so far, the latest over 1300m four weeks ago. Has some upside and is likely to run well. YUYU BAGEL (11) finished third last start over 1200m at this track. Good enough to play a major role. SASAKIN ANGELA (3) was in the market last time but only beat a couple home. Draws well so could better. |

Race 5 1400m
INCEPTION (4) is going very well with two wins and two placings from the last four attempts. Won two starts back at Mizusawa and went close again last time out, beaten half a length. Has a fine record at this course and distance. Top chance. NEVER LAND (3) improved last time out to score by 5 lengths over this distance at Saga, his third success from his last four outings. Draws well and winning form is hard to knock. MEISHO NIKONIKO (2) ran a better race and finished 0.8 lengths away in fourth last time out. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. O NET LEO (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell but will be fitter this time so may prove harder to beat. |

Race 6 1400m
NOBU (5) started at $2.40 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth over 1600m. Was going very well prior with two wins and a second from his previous three. On his best form he is is sure to take a ton of beating. QUEEN CARD (8) missed narrowly two back then got the job done last start, scoring by a neck over this journey at this track after stalking the lead. In fine form and worth following up. AYDIN ACE (4) ran well last time, finishing third and beaten 0.7 lengths at $20.40. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Winning claims on best figures. BLAIRII (7) was in the firing line on the corner and finished second last time over 1600m at this track when resuming from a spell. Can progress. |

Race 7 1200m
IDIOM (6) returns after a spell of three months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 850m at Mizusawa. Has won fresh before so makes plenty of appeal. SAMMARU CEREZO (1) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1000m at this track. Race fit and looks well placed so expect another big run. KATCHAO (5) has not won for a long while but last raced on July 7 and was solid when fourth at this track over 1000m. Could return to his winning ways. BEE BARISTA (7) was runner up the last time he raced over this distance here so is worth including. |

Race 8 1200m
SUN DUBUQUE (9) recorded a string of top-two finishes before he was only 1.6 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1000m at this track as $1.70 favourite. Steps up in distance today and winning rider Rei Iwamoto sticks. Top chance. NO SIDE (7) settled towards the tail when resuming last start then wound up strongly to score by a head over 1000m at this track, making it three wins in a row. Ryoto Tsukamoto has been the pilot at his last three wins. Sure to run well again. KATANA (6) placed here two back then performed above market expectations last time over 1000m at this track, finishing 0.8 lengths from the winner in fourth. Among the hopes. GRAFFIAS LADY (1) was only beaten 2.7 lengths last start and draws to enjoy a soft run. |

Race 9 1700m
UBER STRONG (6) was solid against much stronger opposition when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Tokyo, finishing sixth after being in the firing line on the bend. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. AIYO TOWANI (11) started at $8.10 last time and was fifth, beaten 2.5 lengths at this track. Had recorded a string of wins and placings prior so can bounce back. POURQUOI (8) will find this easier than last start when he finished 13th at Hanshin Dirt. Recorded a minor placing two starts ago at Kasamatsu so could measure up here. FUTAITEN WHEEL (4) produced a better run last start, beaten 2.4 lengths into fourth. Consider. |

Race 10 1400m
GIFTED BLACK (5) recorded back-to-back placings before a determined maiden win last time out, scoring by 0.8 lengths over 1300m at Mizusawa. Winning rider Makoto Otsubo stays aboard and he could go through his grades now. ALL NIPPON (4) has switched yards since finishing eighth five-and-a-half weeks ago over 2600m at Hakodate. Much better placed at this level so makes plenty of appeal. HOME RUN BATTER (1) made progress last time out, finishing 3 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1400m at Urawa and should be hitting peak fitness now. RYUNO HINAGIKU (2) is going well with four minor placings in a row. Could break through. |

Race 11 1400m
KEY SONATA (1) led throughout for a second-up win two back then went forward last start over 1400m at Mizusawa and held on well for second, beaten 3 lengths. Has the speed to take advantage of the inside draw so can give this a mighty shake. MICHELINE (9) is a 12-start maiden who was fourth at her latest appearance to follow a string of placings, all at this track and trip. Chance to break through. NOBLE OAK (10) has started twice at this course and distance for a win and a placing. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. JARDI BLACK (8) might find this easier than recent attempts. Solid top-three prospects. |

Race 12 1600m
SEI CHRISTINA (12) progressed off a debut second to record a strong maiden win over 1300m at Mizusawa last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Tricky draw to overcome but she is likely to feature in the finish again. DENKOSEKKA (10) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1000m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely improver who should run well again. LOVE CORAGEM (5) debuted with a win two runs ago. Less impressive last time out when eighth over 1300m at Mizusawa. Capable of bouncing back. KAKUMEI SHOYA (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1000m at this track, finishing second and beaten 3 lengths. Improver worth including. |
