Race 1 1300m
ENDLESS TALE (1) is a two-year-old filly by Espoir City out of Ava Malone on debut for the Yuji Uchikoshi stable. Sure to acquit herself well. Betting the key. ZAGARA (3) is on debut for the Shinji Kudo stable. Two-year-old colt by Taisei Legend from Starry Orange. Looks a definite contender, particularly if the money comes. CURRERE GIRL (4) is a two-year-old filly by Young Man Power out of Ku Yeosin on debut for the Tetsuya Nagase stable. Worth including if well in commission. LUZENTE (5) is on debut. By Talismanic and comes from the S Beppu stable. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves. |

Race 2 1600m
MEISHO HAYASE (2) finished out of the placings last time out when ninth over 1600m at Hanshin. Happy to have her on top in this far more suitable field. MAGIC ROSE (3) last appeared four weeks ago over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt when she finished sixth. This is her first run for the Yuji Uchikoshi stable. One of the better hopes. BLISS DISHA (6) finished out of the money when sixth in a 1300m contest at this track two weeks ago. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. CITY OF LONDON (8) could only manage to finish eighth at his latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Can turn things around. |

Race 3 1600m
LOOK UP TO (6) finished just 0.8 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1300m at this track two weeks ago as $1.4 favourite. Tackles a longer journey this time. The testing material. DISTURBIA (8) was well fancied last start over 1300m at this track when third. Worth another chance. G T HAPPY (9) missed the frame last start over 1300m at this track but was only beaten 0.6 lengths into fourth. Can contest. DEEP KINDS (11) finished ninth at his most recent appearance over 1300m at this track after he got a long way back in the run. Likely improver. |

Race 4 1400m
KEIAI MAPLE (4) reunites with Shuji Akaoka after scoring with ease over 1600m at this track last time. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Expecting another bold showing. WIN XANADU (2) held on well to finish second last start over 1600m at this track, beaten a neck. Minoru Miyagawa is a key engagement. Nicely placed to find winning form. BEAR ANGEL (3) is a genuine type with six minor placings from nine starts this campaign. Half a length from the winner in second last time out over 1400m at this track. Has the ability to produce another positive result. KITANO HERO (6) was responsible for a better run last start when sixth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance. |

Race 5 1400m
BLUE SYMPHONY (6) registered a strong win two runs ago then followed it up last time out with a second over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Yet to miss the placings in four starts over this course and distance. Goes up a rung or two but he is up to the task. JOSHO HOPE (8) met with solid support last start over 1600m at this track when third. Appeals as a leading player. DERMA BEELZEBUB (11) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Must raise the bar but he has the talent to test this line-up. GREAT HIEN (1) turned things around last start and scored by half a length over 1400m at this track. Has her share of ability and could prove hard to beat again in this suitable race. |

Race 6 1600m
AMERICAN COOL (8) opened this prep with a win two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1300m at this track. Ignore last start. Worth another chance. HOUYHNHNM (5) was safely held two back on the JRA circuit then appreciated the easier company last time and led throughout to score over 1300m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and is among the leading chances. ABENDSONNE (4) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1300m at this track, scoring by a nose. Looks well placed and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. SAIMON GRIT (7) made progress last time out, finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1300m at this track. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 7 1600m
MONSTRUOSO (4) was prominent in the run and gave a sight when fresh from a spell last start, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Has never missed the frame when second-up from four starts and has a decent record at this longer journey. Ready to find peak form this time. KAMPU (7) is progressing well, last time out finishing second over 1300m at this track. Suitably placed and anticipating another big run. PEISHA BOOGIE (2) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing seventh over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt four weeks ago. Expecting a far better run at this level. OWENS VALLEY (10) has switched yards since finishing 14th four weeks ago over 1200m at Hanshin Dirt. Should be primed for this. |

Race 8 1600m
ARDE YANO (5) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fifth over 1300m at this track. Likely to measure up. EXCEL STATE (7) wasn't far away last time out, finishing second over 1300m at this track when he was handy all the way. The extra journey should play into his hands. Sure to be about the money. HUSTLE ANIKI (6) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing second over 1300m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. JOSHO SAKURA (8) was beaten for early speed and didn't come into contention when a disappointing sixth over 1300m at this track most recently. Well placed and should be in the mix. |

Race 9 1600m
RIKEA BLACK (1) stuck on well when resuming last start to finish third over 1300m at this track after showing good early speed. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. BELLE JADE (10) was a determined maiden winner last time out, scoring by a neck over 1300m at this track. Jumps from a wide draw but she should be in the finish again. AZIONE (2) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with only one victory from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1300m at this track. Likely place contender. ETERNAL LIES (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 4 lengths win over 1300m at this track. Has a decent record at this track and cannot be underestimated. |

Race 10 1600m
JOSHO MAKE (5) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score by 2 lengths last time out over 1300m at this track. Expected to measure up again. AT ONCE (7) drew out and pushed forward early but weakened out of it late when seventh over 1300m at this track last time. Likely to feature here. ESPERANTO (4) returns from a spell of 12 weeks and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished ninth at Hakodate over 1200m when first-up last time in work. Sound top-three prospects. SPEED YELLOW (2) was below his best last time, finishing 12th over 1800m at Hanshin. Likely improver with top-three prospects in this suitable assignment. |

Race 11 1400m
MEINER CITRUS (1) has struggled to find form this time in work, including last start when he finished eighth over 1600m at this track. Should be ready to peak now and back in trip can give this a shake. FOUR SIDE NINE (6) is a distance specialist who turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1870m at Sonoda. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. MAGIC SEVEN (5) finished out of the money when fifth in a 1900m contest at this track two weeks ago. Beautifully placed to play a major role. MOZU GOLD MEDAL (3) was fifth in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance. |

Race 12 1600m
BOURGEOIS (7) remains a maiden after 14 starts, the latest a safely held tenth over 1300m at this track. Rates highly in this company and is right in the mix.
CLARUS (10) got well back over 1400m at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 12th. Can crack the top three here. EMERAL GREEN (3) is a 29-start maiden who could only manage to finish seventh at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. OINARISAN (6) missed the placings last time out when 11th over 1300m at this track. Suited here and is well placed to make amends. |
