NUM TIME COMMENT
1 10:50 Race 1 1400m
RARIA (6) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Settles close to the speed. Should be at her top and capable of going close. MBURI MUGOBOKA (7) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 1400m at this track. In a suitable race and is capable of taking this out. FESTIVE LET'S (1) was below her best last time out when eighth over 1600m at this track. Form over this course and distance is solid with a win and five minor placings from nine starts. Has claims on her best efforts. HOKUSEN KING O (4) finished fifth second up last start over 1400m at this track when he had to contend with an awkward barrier. Well placed and fitter can give this a shake.
2 11:20 Race 2 1400m
NIHONPIRO REACH (9) is a progressive type still in first campaign but off to a great start to her career. Has racked up wins at her last three runs, the latest scoring over 1400m at this track. Races well here and expected to go close again. EIYU CUTE (5) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished fifth at Kochi over 1400m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Michiya Araki and a solid return is anticipated. COSMO MOANA (6) turned in a good effort when narrowly defeated last time at this track over 1400m. Right in the mix. FIORE (10) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when sixth over 1400m here. Can bounce right back.
3 11:50 Race 3 1400m
SALT MILL (1) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 5 lengths at this track over 1400m. Everything points towards another big run. HAWAIIAN ICON (4) returns from a spell of four months and won first-up last time in work over 1400m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. PUKETTI (8) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third over 1600m at this track. Perfectly placed and can play a pivotal role. YAMAJUN ASIAN (7) has been well held since winning three starts back, finishing seventh over 1600m at this track last time out. Nicely placed this time and is among the chances.
4 12:25 Race 4 1400m
BANDAM AGAIN (5) started favourite but the winning run ended last start when she finished second at this track over 1400m. No surprise to see her back in the winners' circle. DANTE'S SEVEN (7) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1600m at this track. Well placed and could be tough to rein in. MIEL CITRON (1) fought on well for second last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Winning rider Junki Mochizuki sticks. Certainly one to consider. A SHIN JUMBLE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Won't find this as tough and can give this a shake.
5 12:55 Race 5 1400m
BOLD HAWK (4) was well fancied last start after two wins in a row, but could only manage fifth over 1400m at this track. Soichi Kato who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Hard to go past on best form. HIFUMI BANDAM (8) followed a second-up win here two starts back with a solid second at this track over 1400m on September 10. Huge chance. MOMOJIRO (7) was racing well without winning, finishing in the money on two consecutive occasions, before finishing fifth last time out over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Myojo Haru Dai sticks. Has claims. KIRA KAIDO (9) finished second last time over 1600m at this track. Racing well and cannot be underestimated.
6 01:25 Race 6 1600m
LLANTRISANT (4) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1600m at this track. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run and she should be in the finish again. RIO SARA (2) returned from a break of two months with a solid second last start at this track over 1400m when she was up on the pace all the way. Boasts a strong record at the trip. One of the better chances. KITEYA IYOJI (7) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.75 lengths. Should be peaking now and is ready to show what she can do. BOIS ETOILES (3) finished second last time over 1400m at this track. Will trim down following recent racing and must be respected.
7 01:55 Race 7 1400m
IMPULSION (5) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 3 lengths. Expected to go on with it. KOSHU PANJA (10) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at this track. Has the talent to get the prize. FUMI FLORENCE (8) missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, finishing fourth. The engagement of Shin Higashikawa is noteworthy. Look for an improved run here. KITANO REGALO (2) was in the money two starts back but was unable to repeat the effort last time when sixth at this track over 1400m. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
8 02:30 Race 8 1400m
BOZEMAN (5) progressed nicely last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track. Should be further improved and rates as a leading player. SATSUKI FLASH (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 1400m. Must be respected. CHUWA GIFT (7) hit the frame two starts ago here but ran below par last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Improver who comes into calculations. MILLE TENDRESSES (3) finished third last time over 1400m at this track. Ready to go a couple better.
9 03:00 Race 9 1600m
SATSUKI BALLADE (5) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1400m at this track. Expect another big run. RARARARANRANRAN (3) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago but was less impressive last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track. This doesn't look as hard, so look for an improved run. SHINING BELL (4) is stepping up in trip after finishing fourth over 1400m at this track last time out. Can improve on the latest effort and is a key runner. TECHNIKOS (1) is close to a win after a string of minor placings, the latest when third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and must be respected.
10 03:30 Race 10 1600m
BLUE TICE (3) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at his last four starts, most recently scoring over 1400m at this track. Top chance once again. GALWAY GIRL (5) finished second last start over 1400m at this track, only beaten 0.8 lengths after a win here the start prior. Brings solid form to this contest. Big chance. TAISEI DREAMER (7) performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only 2 lengths from the winner at the end of 1600m. This doesn't look as hard so he is one of the main contenders. KAYADO BLACK (4) turned in a strong performance first-up when in the money here but disappointed last time when seventh at this track over 1400m. Well placed to make a big impression.
11 04:00 Race 11 1400m
ALSAFI (2) has been freshened up since a narrow defeat last time over 1400m at this track. Major player. PENSEE (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3 lengths win over 1600m at this track. Sure to run well again. SPECIAL TALK (4) was a dominant winner last time over 1900m at this track, getting home by 4 lengths. Has been in solid form this campaign with a win and a placing from three starts. Expected to be competitive. WIN FIERTE (3) finished fourth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two runs back. Form here at this journey is very good with seven wins from 13 runs. Can figure in the outcome.
12 04:35 Race 12 1600m
HOLLYHOCK (3) has four wins and two minor placings from 12 races this campaign. Scored last start by 4 lengths at this track over 1400m after being up on the pace all the way. Goes up a rung or two but she is capable of running a bold race. COSMO JOSEPH (1) is coming along nicely this prep. Finished tenth when fresh from a spell two starts back at Niigata Dirt then improved and scored as public elect over 1600m at this track a month ago, getting home by 2.5 lengths. Can go back-to-back. KISLING (4) drifted well back and failed to finish it off last start when ninth over 1400m at this track. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Finds an easier assignment and can get the job done. NEO AMAZONES (5) stuck on well last start to finish third over 1900m at this track after showing good early speed. Likely improver with strong prospects.
