NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:30 Race 1 1100m
CIVIC FOURWHEEL (3) finished just a neck from the winner in second last start over 1200m at this track after racing on the pace. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. SHIZURI (5) caught the eye last start over 1000m at this track, coming from well back to finish 0.8 lengths from the winner in third. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with two placings to her name. Could prove tough to beat. CHERRIKA KING (8) is yet to break through in seven runs but has been thereabouts. Placed two back then was fourth over 1100m at this track last time. Solid top-three chance. NICE KICK (7) raced on the speed last time and fought on well to finish third over 1100m at this track. Has a high cruising speed and can feature in the finish.
2 03:05 Race 2 1000m
ARC OF LIFE (2) has been in the placings at her last two starts, finishing second last time when she was handy all the way over 1000m at this track. Shapes as a key runner. BUNKER HILL (9) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish a neck away in second over 1000m at this track. Expect another forward showing. STAR RUBY PIERCE (1) missed the frame last start when she was always well out of her ground over 1000m at this track, finishing sixth. Well placed and look for an improved run. RIKO REDEYE (7) was sixth over 1000m at this track last time out. Better than recent efforts suggest and can contest here.
3 03:35 Race 3 1000m
ARC MEDINA (1) was prominent into the straight last time but was overwhelmed late and wound up in fourth over 1000m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets her chance to break the ice. SHAA (6) was beaten just a neck last start and landed his first top-three finish in the process over this track and trip. Has taken a while to hit form but can open his account this time. YOSHINO AVANCE (4) finished third last start over 1000m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. RYUNO SOUL (3) is a five-start maiden who is well and truly overdue, finishing fourth at this track over 1000m last time out. Likely improver.
4 04:10 Race 4 1200m
SEKITEI VIVI (6) was in the money on debut before finishing fourth last time out over 1000m at this track. Plenty of scope for improvement and is one of the major players. JUSTIN VENICE (3) improved last start but found a couple better over 1200m at this track. Has upside and expected to run very well. WE ARE THE PEOPLE (5) finished fifth last time out over 1200m at this track. Expecting a strong run in this field. KURO GO (4) last start finished fourth over 1200m at this track. Suitably placed and anticipating a better run this time.
5 04:40 Race 5 1000m
NITTO MIZUNA (8) was well fancied last time out but disappointed in finishing fifth over 1000m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. YANKEE JAK (12) improved last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten only 1.5 lengths. Can secure another top-three finish. WILD BUNCH (6) is yet to break through in 12 runs. Finished eighth at his last appearance over 1000m at this track on September 30 after he gave away a big start. Looks to be in the right race to finally play a role. MAGICAL WEEK (1) has been out of the winner's list for a while, last start finishing fifth at this track over 1000m. Can feature here.
6 05:15 Race 6 1000m
TSUWA (9) finished second two runs back then improved last time out to score by one length as public elect over 1000m at this track. Racing well and anticipating another big run. LAND SUR (11) returns from a layoff of five-and-a-half months. Worth noting he filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last prep over 1500m at Kanazawa. Has switched to the Hiroaki Sakurai stable. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. MISATO LEONESSA (10) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing seventh starting at $5. Best efforts give her a live chance. QUEEN'S MONAKA (3) is struggling to break through but has been around the mark lately, last start finishing second over 1200m at this track. Can measure up here.
7 05:45 Race 7 1200m
BENINO GENERAL (7) did a great job to score by one length over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Likely to be there at the finish again. TAISEI SURGE (3) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track two weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and should go on with it. QUEEN'S MONT BLANC (5) produced a reasonable effort to finish 1.5 lengths away in third last start over 1000m here following a win on debut at this track. Promising filly who looks hard to beat. OWSLA FLAG (9) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1200m. Making headway and likely to measure up again.
8 06:20 Race 8 1200m
DIXIE VOGUE (2) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on October 2 over 1200m when she got home by 5 lengths. Going up a level this time but she has the ability to mix it with them. EPIPHALAND (11) changes rider since being well held last time in tenth over 1700m at Sapporo Dirt on September 7. Forgive that latest effort. In the mix in this suitable affair. GOLDEN SCHEME (4) has good credentials over this distance. Was easily accounted for last time out when 12th over 1700m at this track. Tough to beat on best form. KITANO PLENTY (8) turned in another moderate effort last start when 11th over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to find some form.
9 06:50 Race 9 1200m
AALLOTTARET (11) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at this track, scoring by 3 lengths to make it two on the bounce. Hard to knock and should go well again. TOKEN SOUR (8) raced on the pace when resuming last start and lifted strongly to hold second over today's journey at this track. Placed to advantage and can take this out. WIND FALX (9) scored last start at this track to make it two wins from three starts this campaign. Has winning claims again based on that latest effort. SASAKIN TOMOJIRO (7) scored last start at this track to make it three wins and two placings from six starts this campaign. Record here is impressive with three wins from eight starts. Too good to ignore.
10 07:25 Race 10 1000m
SAILROCKET (8) led throughout last start to score an effortless 8 lengths win over 1000m at this track. Sure to take some stopping again. ATONIMO SAKINIMO (5) was on the speed from the rails draw last start and battled on well to finish second over 1000m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. BELLE AUBE (9) has been below par in two runs since a win three back, last start finishing sixth over 1000m at this track. Finds a nice race and worth another chance. DUJAC (10) scored two runs back then was popular with punters last time but could only manage to finish seventh over the same trip at this track. Can bounce right back.
11 08:00 Race 11 1000m
MEISHO KUTSUKAKE (6) is racing well. Was a most impressive winner last time over 1000m at this track, scoring by 5 lengths. Has a high cruising speed and can play a major role again. KANADERU AIR (3) found plenty when winning by half a length three runs back at this track and has a good draw today. Expected to be competitive here. BARU TUUL (8) is a 17-start maiden who finished eighth at her most recent appearance over 1000m at this track. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes. BELLA VITTORIA (10) made progress last start to finish second over 1000m at this track. Finds a nice race and can play a big role again.
12 08:35 Race 12 1700m
KEIAI ANTARES (10) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by a neck over 1600m at this track as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins from eight starts. Leading player again. THREE LEGEND (8) scored by half a length last start at this track over this distance. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts at this distance, including four wins. Genta Ochiai who has scored on him four times retains the mount. Sure to run well. PHARMA SHINE (1) has put together a couple of wins at this circuit, the latest on October 2 over 1700m when she got home by 4 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is good enough to play a major role. MEISHO MARBLE (9) raced below his best last time when ninth over 1700m at this track. Capable of sharp improvement.
