Maiden Race 1400m
REALIZE BLOOM (9) stepped out for the first time last start and was after getting well back charged home late into fourth at Chukyo Dirt over 1400m, beaten 9 lengths. Progressive type who will find this easier. Looks hard to hold out. FIABLE (1) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1400m at Hanshin Dirt when second, beaten 4 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a lovely run so a big run is anticipated. WISE GANG (4) is a five-start maiden who is knocking on the door, the latest effort a solid second at Hanshin Dirt over 1400m. Ideally placed to break the ice. SOUND PRIMO (2) resumes today after running in a small field on debut missing the frame by 6 lengths at Kokura Dirt over 1000m. Has claims. |

Maiden Race 1800m
G T STEER (6) returned last time with a solid second at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m. Got back but found the line strongly and just missed. Fitter and ready to go one better. LORD STELLATO (5) produced a nice effort on debut in better company last start over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt when second, beaten 3.5 lengths. Raced on speed and fought on well. Likely improver so he will be hard to beat. VIENTO DE COLA (7) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish third last time over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, beaten 3.5 lengths. Strong chance. GLORIOUS (4) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 5.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt. Has upside and worth including. |

Maiden Race 2000m
REALIZE GLINT (2) was well fancied on debut and after sitting just off the leading group got going in the straight and finished runner-up. That was in a Newcomer and will appreciate dropping back to a maiden. Has upside and can get off the mark this time. BLAENAVON (7) finished second, beaten 0.8 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Hanshin. That makes it 2/2 in the money. Ready to go one better. G T BIKINI (9) stepped out on her debut over 1600m at Chukyo eight weeks ago and finished sixth, beaten 6 lengths. This easier and extra trip looks a plus. Worth following up. COSMO BLACK (5) was at long odds on debut last time out and finished sixth, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 2000m at this track. Has ability and worth including. |

Maiden Race 2910m
VIA LUX (1) had just one start last campaign and that was his jumps debut when beaten just four lengths in a maiden steeplechase (2890m) at Niigata. Better for the experience and looks the testing material this moderate field. FOR DEAR LIFE (5) returned from a layoff last time out in a maiden steeplechase (2880m) at Nakayama, finishing fourth when partnered by today's rider S Ishigami. Overdue for a jumps win and will be harder to beat this time. OSTERIA (12) finished fourth when fresh from a spell last start in a maiden steeplechase (2970m) at Hanshin. Has had a lot of chances but nice return and fitter again. CHIC (2) has not appeared since he finished 2.75 lengths away in sixth on the flat over 1800m at Kokura on July 13. Tackles the jumps for the first time. Ideally placed to perform well. |

Newcomer Race 2000m
WONDERFUL BOND (1) is a son of Kizuna from the Grade 1 winner Wonder Of Lips who makes his debut. Stable have a great record with first starters and jockey rides well for the yard. Bright prospects from an inside gate. SUPREME REALM (8) is a two-year-old colt on debut. From an elite family that includes black type success, being by Epiphaneia from the stakes winner Dubawi Heights. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting. CLARITY SOUND (3) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of Naoya Nakamura. By Harbinger from Clear Sound. Good draw a big help. Expected to feature. YOKA O (5) is a two-year-old colt on debut from the stable of K Tani. By Kizuna from Yoka Yoka. Top-three chance. |

Newcomer Race 1800m
ZION DANCER (6) is a two-year-old filly by Nadal out of Princess Nonko stepping out on debut for the Takashi Saito stable. Jockey has a strong strike-rate for this stable. Should measure up. JUNE RETRIEVER (4) is a first-starter by Good Magic from the former top race mare Silva who has been a prolific producer of winners. Should get all the favours from this good gate and is certainly worth considering. GOLDEN BALANCE (11) is appearing for the first time. By Rey De Oro and comes from the Haruki Sugiyama stable. Watch for a betting push. RIHLA (3) is appearing for the first time. By Sinister Minister and comes from the Masayuki Nishimura stable. Good draw a big help. Pay to watch for any positive betting moves. |

Allowance Race 2400m
Lots of these find it hard to win but liked the return of HO O RAVEN (8). Saluted at Chukyo two runs ago before a break then fresh-up drifted too far back but stormed home for a close-up fourth. Fitter and is the one to hold out. TAKE THE CROWN (2) is still a maiden but rarely runs a bad race. Resumed from a spell last start with a sound second over 2400m at Hanshin when he worked home well. Has placed 3/4 this course and distance and can find winning form. FIRM TWENTY (11) was thereabouts last time out when third over 2000m at Hanshin. Won't be bothered by this longer journey. SUNSET VIEW (1) has not won for a long while. Last raced on September 13 when beaten 3.5 lengths into fourth at Hanshin over 2400m after being in the firing line on the corner. Finds a suitable assignment and can find winning form again. |

Allowance Race 1800m
OKEANIS (8) was impressive last time at Chukyo Dirt, scoring by 2 lengths over this trip. Has been in great form with two victories from three outings this preparation. Has good speed and will take running down again. TSUKINO AKARI (9) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell over 2100m at Kawasaki. This easier and rates highly this class. Jockey back aboard is unbeaten from two rides. Likely to be prominent. TAMAMO NAPOLI (12) lines up for the first time since July 12. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at this track. Makes plenty of appeal. SHINKO NAHOCHAN (2) never really threatened when resuming over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt, having to drop out to the tail form a wide gate. Much better draw here and gets home hard. Sure to be competitive. |

MARUYAMA TOKUBETSU 1200m
ASTER RUHUNA (8) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third last time when she was always up in the leading division over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt. Best figures measure up. Will stalk the leaders and is sure to run well. AMERICAN BIKINI (11) resumed over 1200m at Chukyo Dirt last time out and finished second, beaten a neck. Overall record is sound when second-up and should be fitter with a run under the belt. Will take catching despite the wide draw. PEARL FRONT (6) made a strong late bid only to just miss last start over 1000m at Sapporo Dirt. First try this trip but hard to knock the recent form. CENTAUR BEAST (13) resumes and was well off best before a break. Has a great record over the course and distance. Should be prominent and can get the job done fresh. |

SANNENZAKA STAKES 1600m
MEINER TICKET (2) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a head from the winner in second over 1600m at Hanshin after being prominent at the bend. Grade 2 placed and bot far away a few starts back at Grade 1 level. Go close in this after the eye-catching return. BUENA ONDA (4) is having his first run since April 26. Goes very well when fresh - has not been out of the money in three first-up runs and did win over 1800m at this track at the start of last prep. Will be hard to stop. PUSH ON (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Hanshin, beaten 3 lengths. The engagement of Ryusei Sakai is noteworthy. Fitter so anticipating a better run this time. FINE LINE (3) was never in contention when resuming last start over 1500m at Sapporo, finishing tenth and beaten 6 lengths. Deserves another chance in this line up. |

UZUMASA STAKES 1800m
JINSEI (6) is a genuine four-year-old entire who resumed with a solid fourth last time out in the G3 Sirius Stakes at Hanshin Dirt over 2000m. This easier and has a great second-up record. Excellent winning chance. NEVERMORE (1) is having her first run since July 9. Has a strong record when fresh with four wins from seven runs, the most recent over 1800m at Hanshin Dirt at the start of last prep. Loves the course and looks the main danger. HABIRE (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Nakayama Dirt, beaten 4 lengths. Has never missed the frame second up. Likely improver with strong prospects. HAPI (8) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage ninth over 1800m at Chukyo Dirt. Much better than that and gets chance to atone. |

Allowance Race 1600m
ONE MORE SMILE (17) is back from a spell. Raced once last campaign and finished second over 1800m at Kokura. This is the easiest race he's contested for a long while and looks the one to beat. LA TRACE (15) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break over 1800m at Kokura. Has never been out of the placings from five starts. Yuga Kawada stays on. Drawn out but likely to feature. SHAYKH (13) has not appeared since he scored over 1600m at Hanshin on March 30. Promising colt and can go on to better things this campaign. G T MAN (14) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 1600m at Hanshin on April 5. Won on debut then subsequent three starts have been in stakes grades. Gets chance to find form. |
