NUM TIME COMMENT
1 12:00 Race 1 1500m
HANAMATSURI (8) has built a long sequence of minor placings, the latest a third over 1500m at this track. In-form four-year-old filly so this is her chance to grab that elusive victory. DUCKLING (10) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten a long neck. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. WIDE STELLA (7) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 28 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when tenth over 1500m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Placed to advantage and can feature in the finish. NO MAN'S LAND (1) has been racing well including a last start second over 1500m at this track, beaten 5 lengths. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
2 12:30 Race 2 1400m
MASAHAYA VOSS (12) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. PEERAGE LADY (1) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a strong race last time out, finishing fourth and beaten only 0.7 lengths over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SABLIER (7) was prominent at the turn and ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. VASUKI UN (9) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Among the chances.
3 01:00 Race 3 1500m
STUN GRENADE (1) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing second and beaten 0.8 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. TITAN (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Likely improver with strong prospects. NEO ALITHEIA (11) 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 4 lengths. Big chance to break through. KITASAN BAMBINA (10) was beaten 6 lengths into seventh over 1400m at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time.
4 01:35 Race 4 920m
CONTI FUCHU (3) made progress last time out, finishing 7 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 920m at this track after being in the firing line on the bend. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. K'S CHARLOTTE (12) stepped out on her debut over 900m at this track two weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 13 lengths. Will be better for that run. Leading contender. YAMA NOBLE (6) is yet to break through in four runs. Finished sixth at his last appearance over 920m at this track on September 3. Expected to feature in the finish this time. SAINT MORITZ (10) is facing the starter for the first time. By Danon Smash and hails from the Tsuyoshi Kawanishi stable. Top-three chance.
5 02:05 Race 5 1500m
NISHINO PROTEA (1) is a six-start maiden who returned last time and finished sixth at this track over 1400m, beaten 5.5 lengths. Improvement to come and this is his chance to break through. BELLEFONT (4) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when seventh in a 1500m contest at this track four weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. MY HOME HEROINE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 17 lengths when sixth in a 1500m contest at this track four weeks ago. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. HEADS UP (6) is a six-start maiden who finished sixth, beaten 19 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time.
6 02:35 Race 6 1500m
ANFANG (2) is still a maiden after five runs. Was one of the favoured runners last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing eighth over 1500m at this track. This looks a nice race so expect him to be right in the finish. MARIENPLATZ (5) has been safely held at her last couple of runs, the latest when 13th over 2000m at Sapporo. Well-placed in this easier assignment and she is among the leading players. SEVEN SPRINGS (6) is a seven-start maiden who finished sixth at his most recent outing over 1500m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for him. GREAT LEG (3) finished 22 lengths from the winner in tenth at his most recent appearance over 1500m at this track. Rough hope.
7 03:10 Race 7 1500m
ONE CHAN (4) has switched yards since finishing sixth four weeks ago over 1200m at Chukyo. Looks set to run well for the new barn on the easier circuit. POMME D'OR (11) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished seventh at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m, beaten 4.5 lengths. Chance to break her maiden status with that run under her belt. SHINY SAILOR (8) has been safely held at her last two starts, the latest when 14th over 2400m at Niigata. Does enjoy some weight relief this time. Expected to feature back in this class. KAFUJI ASSAM (10) has been out of the frame at his last couple of runs, last time finishing 9 lengths away in 11th over 2000m. In an easier race and should feature in the finish.
8 03:40 Race 8 1400m
G T NEIGE (12) was well in commission last start over 920m at this track when ninth, beaten 12 lengths. Certainly deserves another chance. MEISHO MISS ICHI (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 19 lengths when sixth over 1500m at this track two weeks ago. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. SET ON YOU (5) missed the placings two runs back then settled well back last start when 31 lengths away in 11th over 1500m at this track. Better suited here. LOVE LIVE (7) was beaten 13 lengths into tenth over 920m at this track two weeks ago. Has her share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
9 04:15 Race 9 1500m
ALL ON FLEEK (8) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a nose at this track. Boasts three wins here. Should park just off the speed. Will play a major role. KITANO RAINIER (6) started at $3.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 3 lengths at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. JAMBALAYA (10) is yet to break through in 29 runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was 2.75 lengths away in fourth over 1500m at this track last time. Should be camped just off the leaders. Suited here and can feature with even luck. BOMB POT (7) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on 01/09/2024, finishing 15th and beaten 24 lengths over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Has switched to the Yoshiyuki Sakaguchi yard. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
10 04:50 Race 10 1700m
ANOHINO AYAMACHI (10) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 1.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Tricky draw to overcome but she is sure to go well. FINE NOBLE (12) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 3 lengths at this track over 1400m. Sure to take some stopping again. NIGHTFALL SUN (3) improved last time out, finishing one length from the winner in second at the end of 1500m at this track after being in the firing line on the corner. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. BRILLO DORADO (6) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing tenth last time out over 1400m at this track. Can figure.
11 05:25 Race 11 1700m
MANNO LIGHTNING (2) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the very strong form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from five starts. Big chance once again. JAKO MUSUBI (4) finished third last start over 1400m at this track following a run of three wins on end. Can bounce straight back. RADICAL BAROWS (10) was last at the races when he finished 12th over 2100m at this track on May 6. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from three tries. Comes here with definite top-three claims. COVINHA (8) won at this track two starts ago but was below his best at a more recent appearance, finishing sixth over 1500m at this track. Finds a nice race and can atone.
12 06:00 Race 12 1700m
PRECURSOR (5) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 2.25 lengths after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect another big run. FUKU BELLE E (3) improved sharply on her fifth two starts back at this track with a win over 1500m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by one length. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. TAKE NOTICE (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when tenth, beaten 9 lengths, over 1500m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. CAPE GOOD HOPE (1) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form. No reason he cannot salute again.
