NUM TIME COMMENT
1 11:50 Race 1 1400m
KLEINSCHMIDT (4) missed the frame two back in tougher company then last time in a more suitable affair scored by one length over 1200m at this track. Can go on with it now. BONNE JOURNEE (9) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1400m at this track when he was handy all the way. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. NISHINO PRIME (8) recorded a strong maiden win over 1200m at this track last time, getting there by 2.5 lengths. Winning rider Rei Iwamoto sticks and he cannot be discounted. HAKUAI DREAM (1) was beaten 11 lengths into eighth in a 1400m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
2 12:25 Race 2 1400m
VA SAVOIR (8) strode forward early from his wide draw last start over 1400m at this track then fought on gamely to finish second. In the right race and is a winning hope. T LIGHTNING (7) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. BUTRAGUENO (1) is on the quick back up after sitting on the pace and boxing on well to finish second at this track seven days ago. Good effort last start and is a live chance. AUFWIND (2) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1600m at Nakayama, beaten 11 lengths. Strips fitter and can turn things around.
3 01:00 Race 3 1400m
SENTOSA LADY (10) could only manage eighth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 3 lengths. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. FANCY DAY (3) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when 12th and beaten 15 lengths over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. GRAND CROIX (1) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 1.1 lengths from the winner in fourth after starting at huge odds. Rei Iwamoto has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. One of the contenders.

MEISHO TOKIIRO (2) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Among the leading players again.

TAMAMO OPERA (6) started at $7.70 last time and ran below expectations, finishing fifth and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1200m.

COMBAT GRANDE (9) showed good early dash and led for much of the way before weakening out of it when 10 lengths away in eighth over 1600m at this track. Expected to do much better. FUERTE TESORO (10) finished fourth last start over 850m at Mizusawa after racing on the pace for much of the way. Among the chances. CALLUNA VULGARIS (11) produced another moderate effort last start when 10 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1200m at this track at the second run back from a spell. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.

FEZ KAZUMA (1) finished fourth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1000m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being prominent at the turn. Finds a tougher race but another big run is on the cards. CELATONE (6) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths, at his latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest.
8 03:55 Race 8 1400m
COVENANT (7) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths. That followed a win at Mizusawa at the previous outing. Stepping up a level this time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. JAILBREAK (2) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals. DRAMATURGY (8) started at $8.30 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1400m. Going up a level this time but she cannot be underestimated.

9 04:30 Race 9 1400m
SHONAN NAZCA (9) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1200m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on current form he is one of the key runners. HAKUSHIN DANCE (1) made it two wins in a row last start when she scored by a neck over 1400m at Mizusawa. Facing a tougher assignment but she is good enough to figure in the finish. VIP ARIEL (3) proved too strong two runs ago at Mizusawa. Couldn't follow that up last time out when third over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Meets some better types this time but a better run will not surprise. KURINO FLORENCE (7) broke her maiden three starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when beaten 4 lengths into second over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Tatsunori Sugawara stays aboard. Not to be discounted.
10 05:05 Race 10 1600m
TON YAIBIN (4) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 1.75 lengths over 1400m at this track. That continued the good form this campaign, with two wins and two minor placings from five starts. Can measure up again. G T PEARL (1) proved too strong last start and scored by a neck over 1400m at this track. Has a fair record at this track with a win and three placings. Leading player again. KITANO SERENADE (9) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1600m at this track, beaten 5.5 lengths into fourth. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. JODHPUR (7) was beaten 12 lengths into ninth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Better than recent efforts suggest.
11 05:40 Race 11 1600m
SCARLET CROSS (5) produced a reasonable effort when second last start after being in the firing line on the bend over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. That followed a win at Mizusawa the start prior. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she has the ability to bounce back. TAIKI MONSTRE (10) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at this track, finishing second and only a nose from the winner at the end of 1600m after being in the firing line on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. ESMERAUDE ECLAT (6) was close to breaking through last start when beaten a neck into second over 1400m at this track. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. MACCABAEUS (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at this track over 1600m after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to break the run of outs.
12 06:15 Race 12 1000m
GOLD BOND (3) has progressed nicely in his last couple of runs. Finished second at this track two starts back then got the job done by 4 lengths as public elect last time out over 850m at Mizusawa. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. A SHIN TORPEDO (12) fought on well to finish third last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths. In a suitable race and can play a major role. OSCAR BRAIN (1) showed early speed from an outside draw last time and led for much of the way before fading to finish fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Form at this track is solid. Capable of a big run. TENGU CLUB (2) has been racing well without winning. Last start finished third, beaten 2.5 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Drawn well close to the inside so he must be included.
