Maiden Race 1200m
TOMOJA OLLIE (6) made her debut last start at a big quote but defied the market to grab second, beaten 1.75 lengths, over 1300m at Tokyo Dirt. Should improve sharply and this looks a nice race. TAIKI PLAISIR (10) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 9 lengths when tenth in a 1600m contest at Tokyo two weeks ago after being in the firing line on the corner. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SATONO ESCAPE (11) closed last prep ten weeks ago when he finished 12th over 1200m at Nakayama. Can give this a shake. FESTIVE HEART (7) missed the placings on debut two runs back then didn't feature last start when 18 lengths away in seventh over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt after being in contention on the turn. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. |

Maiden Race 1800m
BONNIE PRINCE (1) was well in commission on his debut over 1600m at Tokyo eight weeks ago and finished fourth, beaten 1.5 lengths. Found the line strongly and can only be improved. Worth following up. TERUKEN LENSKY (14) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish 1.3 lengths away in second over 1800m at Fukushima. Wide drawn but overdue and will take catching. WINE DARK SEA (8) showed early speed from a good draw and led until entering the straight when first-up from a break last start, eventually holding on for third and beaten 2 lengths over 2000m at Niigata. One of the main contenders. COEUR FIDELE (16) could only manage to finish fourth, beaten 2.75 lengths, at his latest appearance over 2000m at Tokyo. No surprise if he figured in the finish. |

Maiden Race 2880m
T O RICARDO (3) has placed all three starts so far over the jumps. Bursting to win and looks the one to beat. ASK ON DEEP (5) has had two starts over the jumps and improved sharply last time out to place. Further improved and looks a top chance to break through. Same goes for TOA MARISHITEN (2) who has placed at both runs this time in. Ready to peak and will take catching. GOLDEN ROOKIE (9) was unplaced two back in a maiden steeplechase (3000m) at Tokyo. Filled a minor prize last time in a much better performance in a maiden steeplechase (2750m) at Fukushima, beaten half a length. Worth including. |

Newcomer Race 1200m
MONT ROYAL (9) is a nicely bred two-year-old colt on debut. By Firenze Fire from the stakes winner Sandslash who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who looks the testing material. NISHINO SEIDO (12) is a two-year-old colt by Reach The Crown out of Seiun Heroine set to debut for the Daishi Ito stable. Serious contender, particularly if solid in the market. LE PREMIER AMOUR (2) is on debut for the Y Kato stable. Two-year-old filly by Bricks And Mortar from Jun Heart's. Likely to have an economical run from this favourable draw. One to keep tabs on, particularly if popular in betting. RINASCITA (8) is a well bred two-year-old filly making her first appearance at the races. By Danon Smash from Epoxi who has produced plenty of winners. Promising type who is worth considering if popular in betting. |

Allowance Race 1200m
Small field but several main hopes. CARILLON A VENT (1) stalked the speed and ran away with a debut win before another break. Leading rider engaged and can return in winning form. LUX RAYMOND (2) broke through for his maiden win over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt last time, scoring comfortably. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he is worth including. LANCE OF KING (5) broke his maiden last start over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt, scoring by 1.3 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Expected to give a sight. QUEEN REGNANT (3) returned from a spell three weeks ago when she was in the firing line on the corner before being beaten 4.5 lengths into tenth over 1200m at Fukushima. Fitter and this easier. Solid top-three hope and will give a sight this time. |

Allowance Race 2500m
FILIUS (8) is back from a spell of 12 weeks and does go well when fresh, including a win to launch last campaign over 2600m at Fukushima. Top rider engaged and can return in winning form. MIKUNI INSPIRE (1) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 2000m at this track. Yuji Tannai has been the pilot at his last two wins. Smart colt who looks a leading contender. SATONO SOTIRAS (5) is a genuine three-year-old colt who resumed with a solid second last time out at Fukushima over 2600m. Should be in the finish. PREMIER SORTIE (4) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a third at Tokyo two starts back then scored by 0.8 lengths last time out over 2000m at Tokyo. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot score again. |

Allowance Race 1200m
ASHAKA TOBE (13) lines up for the first time since September 13. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1150m at Fukushima Dirt. Speedy type who goes well fresh and is expected to take catching.. LOS ANGELES (14) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when tenth, beaten 12 lengths, over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Much better than last couple and goes well course and distance. Can improve on recent efforts. PIKO ARGYLE (15) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at Fukushima, finishing tenth and beaten 4.5 lengths over 1200m. Fitter and best figures are when second-up. Tricky gate but expected to improve sharply.JASPER SOLEIL (16) has returned in good shape this preparation.

NANSO STAKES 1200m
SO DARN RIGHT (4) is a progressive three-year-old filly who resumes from a break of ten weeks, her last appearance being a win over 1200m at this track at her only run of that campaign. Speedy filly drawn well and expected to go close. TOSEN ESCUDO (11) was prominent from the outset when second over 1200m at Fukushima last time out. Should park just off the speed. Overdue and gets chance. MOJA LEO (12) built on a nice second two starts back at this track with a win as favourite over 1200m at Kyoto six weeks ago, getting home by 0.8 lengths. Steps up a level but he is up to the task. SYMPATHEIA (9) is back from a break of nine weeks. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when 11th over 1400m at Tokyo. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Can feature in the finish. |

ICHIKAWA STAKES 1800m
FARIZA (14) returns today and is on a run of three straight wins, the latest over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt on October 5. Akihide Tsumura who has two wins when partnering stays on. Won only try at trip and will be tough to hold out. CROWN SIENTA (5) really dug deep to salute by 2.5 lengths three runs back at Niigata Dirt before filling a minor placing at his last two starts. Nicely placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. CHUWA KRIS S (3) is back after a break of ten weeks. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at this track. Sure to make his presence felt. GREATEST SONG (12) is a promising type who scored at his last run before a break four-and-a-half months ago over 1700m at Hakodate Dirt. Has never missed the frame when fresh from a spell in two starts. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be thereabouts. |

LAPIS LAZULI STAKES(L) 1200m
KARPUZ PELUS (15) returns from a break of three-and-a-half months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a third over 1200m at Sapporo. Goes well fresh and despite the wide draw will take catching. LORD FOUR ACES (8) is back from a break of 12 weeks. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when fourth over 1200m at Nakayama Dirt. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Likely to feature.

CARRO VELOCE (10) finished second when resuming from a spell last start over 1000m at Niigata. Even fitter and off a better draw is an excellent winning chance. |
