NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:25 Race 1 820m
ANGEL MOMO (8) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over this track and trip after being in contention on the bend. Likely improver with strong prospects. SAWAYAKA SAWACHAN (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. SEAMLESS (11) finds it tough to break through but is better suited in this line up and is among the better hopes. PETITE FLECHE (9) ran a better race when second-up last start here. Is open to further improvement and finds a nice race and can atone.
2 02:55 Race 2 1400m
SAKURA TOP SELLER (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.75 lengths from the winner in second over this track and trip after being in contention on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MOON BRIDGE (10) finished fourth last start here, an improvement on his sixth at this track the run before. Tomohiro Yoshimura gets the best out of this four-year-old entire. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. NAMURA ANNIKA (3) is yet to break through but not far off a win. Placed two back then missed the frame but was thereabouts last time here. Will drift back but wind up late. Well placed here and among the winning hopes. SAKURA MY WAY (5) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start. Strips fitter and should be thereabouts.
3 03:25 Race 3 1700m
SIENA MAX (5) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when second at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. WAROTERU (1) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Winning rider Wataru Hirose sticks and he cannot be underestimated. AZIMUT (3) debuted with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when second over 1400m at this track after being in contention on the bend. Tackling a more suitable race so he can return to the winners' list. EL GRAN GOLAZO (2) finished midfield on debut last time out, safely held. Better for that outing and is expected to run well.
4 03:55 Race 4 1400m
TOMO COCOA (3) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when second over this track and trip. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. JOY BLACK (8) doesn't win out of turn but ran a nice race last time out here, beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ROSA BLU (7) showed good early speed and led into the straight before fading to finish fourth here. Definite winning hope. AMOR FATI (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better here. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
5 04:30 Race 5 1400m
SHUFFLE GIRL (4) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a win over this track and trip. Ideally placed to score while fresh. FROST CITY (3) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing fourth and only 1.75 lengths from the winner after being in contention on the bend. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LUCKY PROOF (9) comes here off a break of four months. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep here. Can make her presence felt. MEISHO ISSHIN (1) produced another moderate effort last start. Strikes an easier assignment and is worth keeping safe in the placings.
6 05:00 Race 6 1400m
AURORA LUMIERE (1) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second at this track at his latest appearance. Form here at this trip is sound. Change of rider to Hijikata Sota who has never been out of the money in four rides, including a win. Bold showing expected. ERIKA ELEGANTE (8) turned in a fine effort to score at this course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Finds a tougher race but she has the talent to test this line-up. TECHNO DRAGON (5) finished fourth two runs back at this track then improved last time out to score by a neck here when he worked home in great style. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is one of the key runners. L HALCON (9) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten half a length. Nicely placed to maintain the form.
7 05:35 Race 7 1400m
HOSIKUZULONELINESS (2) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over this course and distance. Will take advantage of the good draw. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. CHERRY TIME (9) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way here. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. LA LA TERROIR (3) finished fourth last start after being in the firing line on the bend, an improvement on his seventh at this track the run before. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. A SHIN CINERARIA (10) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
8 06:10 Race 8 1400m
MAGIQUE (6) is racing in great heart and has two wins on end, most recently getting the prize here. F Komaki has been the pilot at her last two wins. Sure to play a big role. MADAM HAWK (4) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there until straightening when finishing fourth here. Will give a sight. MUKIZU (1) finished out of the money when fifth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. Nicely placed to take this out. ISLA AZUL (5) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
9 06:45 Race 9 820m
CINNAMON CHOCOLAT (1) raced on the speed from the outset last start and finished third here. Ready to go a couple better. VENT SAISONNIER (2) displayed plenty of early toe here last time and dug deep to score. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is one of the key runners. SOUBISE (4) is progressing well this preparation. Opened with a fourth at this track two starts back then got the job done by a neck last time out. Taking on a better field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. YOUNG BLOOD (3) finished a very close second last start here to make it eight minor placings in a row. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways.
10 07:20 Race 10 1230m
POMME (6) showed good speed here last time over 1400m and led into the straight before being claimed and fading to finish fourth, beaten 1.2 lengths. Expected to measure up again. NEVER TAP OUT (11) was out of the money last start over 820m at this track, beaten into fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. FUKU MIAOLI (8) finds the maiden win elusive but is knocking on the door, the last run a commendable second over this track and trip. Holds genuine claims in this suitable race. GOLD MIRE (1) finished fourth over 1400m at this track last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest.
11 08:08 Race 11 820m
OTEMBAMUSUME (1) drifted back over 1230m here last time before winding up late to finish fourth. Will be tough to hold out. INGENIUM (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third here. Has a high cruising speed. Looks well placed this line-up so expect another big run. LE VENT VERT (6) got the prize two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third here after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to take this out. MONONOFU YELLOW (8) was beaten 2.5 lengths into seventh in a 1230m contest at this track last time out. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
