Race 1 1200m
MAX HEART (9) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Strips fitter and can find winning ways. EGG SCRAMBLED (1) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 7 lengths into fourth. Nicely placed to break the maiden status. SADAMU MONT BLANC (8) was fair on debut last start when fourth over 1000m at this track. Tackles a longer journey this time. Can sneak into the finish. TOPE SUICIDA (5) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 6 lengths from the winner in fourth over 1500m at this track. Can figure in the finish. |

Race 2 1200m
SOUTHERN BRAVE (6) wasn't far off maiden success before a break of five months, finishing the campaign with a minor placing over 1400m at Kanazawa. Well placed and happy to have him on top. SMILE PLUS (9) finished seventh over 1400m at Morioka Dirt at her most recent appearance on September 2. Lines up today for the first time for trainer Nobuhiro Yamada. Should be hard to stop. POD BUDDY (10) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 1200m, beaten 1.5 lengths. Drawn out but going well enough to play a role. HO O HANABI (2) produced another moderate effort last start when 9 lengths from the winner in seventh over 1500m at Urawa. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect. |

Race 3 1500m
REMEMBER WELL (4) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over 1500m at this track three-and-a-half months ago and has not been produced since. Has plenty of upside and can win again. TAISEI THRIVE (7) could only manage ninth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1500m at this track, beaten 1.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. POP THAT BODY (5) impressed when successful on debut over 1500m at this track a month ago. Has upside and is well placed to feature again. KRAMSKOI (3) is a two-start maiden who placed on debut then could only manage fourth last start, beaten 10 lengths over 1500m at this track. Should settle in the leading division. Can do better. Solid top-three hope. |

Race 4 1200m
END STAGE (3) is resuming from a spell of 15 months and is looking to add to a sequence of three wins, the most recent over 1200m at this track. Record at this track is strong. Expected to be in the finish. GINREI (1) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on April 11, finishing sixth and beaten 5 lengths over 1500m at Kawasaki. Sure to make her presence felt. THE CENTRAL (9) had support when resuming last time out but never threatened when a disappointing 12th, beaten 14 lengths, over 1200m at this track. Akira Harita sticks. Fitter and capable of playing a big role. MAD RIBBON GIRL (12) was beaten 5.5 lengths into sixth over 1200m at this track last time out. Well placed and can figure in the finish this time. |

Race 5 1200m
SEIUN YUZUKA (6) raced close to the lead before clearing out to score an effortless 4 lengths win over 1200m at this track last time. Sure to go well again. SHINY DUQUE (1) resumed over 1200m at this track last time out and finished third, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has an excellent record when second-up, including two wins, and will strip much fitter for this. One of the better chances. TOKUSHI KAGUYAHIME (12) raced on the speed from the outset and went to score by one length last time over 1200m at this track. Goes well over this trip, filling a placing at all five starts, including a win and is one of the prime contenders. S K CAT (2) should be at her peak after three runs this prep, the latest a second over 1200m at this track a month ago. Will drift back but wind up late. Can feature in the finish. |

Race 6 1500m
RECADO (7) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing 13 lengths away in 12th over 1600m. Has found the JRA circuit beyond her lately. Should feature back to this level. NARUSA (1) finished third, beaten 6 lengths, when resuming from a spell last start over 1500m at this track after he was prominent at the corner. Suitably placed to crack the maiden win. TAKAO SMILE (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 3 lengths when sixth in a 1800m contest at Monbetsu three-and-a-half weeks ago. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to take this out. FANTASY SKY (12) was safely held when 12th last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 19 lengths after a good first-up win at this track. Best figures measure up so deserves another chance. |

Race 7 1500m
BAILA NOCHE (13) is yet to miss the placings in two starts, including a win. Last appeared when she finished second over 1500m at this track on October 2. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Likely to feature. FLOWER FLORA (9) showed good speed over 1000m at this track and led throughout to score. Winning jockey stays aboard and expected to go very well. RURIMO HARIMO (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 2.5 lengths over 1200m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Looks well placed and she cannot be discounted. PROUD BLOOM (4) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1200m contest at this track last time out by half a length. Strong top-three chance. |

Race 8 1700m
TILL DAWN (6) resumes. Didn't make an impact at his only run last prep on July 12, finishing 15th and beaten 30 lengths over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Lining up today for the first time for trainer Satoshi Kokubo. Sure to make his presence felt. OH MY GOODNESS (8) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1800m at this track last time. Has a strong record here at this journey. Further improvement in store. KENTUCKY SKY (1) has been kept fresh since he resumed last start and proved too strong, scoring by a head over 1500m at Urawa. Will be better for that latest run and looks a big threat to the top selections. CURREN ALCANTARA (2) lines up for the first time since July 6. Looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. One to consider. |

Race 9 1200m
EIS KING (1) continued a hot streak of form, winning over 1200m at this track last start to make it seven straight. Yuki Yamanaka aboard again and expected to go very well. FAST ONE (11) is a talented galloper who is unbeaten in two runs this time in, the latest at Urawa over 1400m. Far too good last start and expected to be in the finish again. OVAL BOUQUET (3) was an emphatic winner last time over 1200m at this track with today's rider Tatsuya Yamaguchi engaged. Is unbeaten in three runs this campaign. Shapes as one to consider. VILLAGE STEEL (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. |

Race 10 1600m
MAKOTO GOKOTAI (10) resumes in a similar race to his last run eight months ago when second, beaten a neck. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. CENTURY BOND (11) is a promising type who hasn't raced since finishing 21 lengths away in eighth over 1800m in stakes class at Kyoto Dirt on May 25 2024 which was the only run of that prep. Has won when fresh from a spell in the past. Should be in the finish in this weaker race. SMASH THROUGH (6) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4 lengths when fourth over 1200m at this track a month ago. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. CANAL SHOHEI (14) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1500m at Kawasaki. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely. |

Race 11 1800m
SEESAW GAME (4) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at this track, beaten only 1.1 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. GOVERNABILITY (8) scored a commanding win at Kawasaki over 1400m at his latest appearance on April 10, the only time he faced the starter in that campaign. Has a high cruising speed. Will prove tough to beat. KENSHI RAINBOW (3) is a talented colt who was tested in tougher class last time when 15th over 2000m in Listed grade at Kyoto. Settles back early but winds up late. One to consider. MOUNTAIN LAUREL (2) strode forward early from his wide draw when resuming from a spell last start over 2000m at Urawa only to fade late and finish seventh. Among the chances. |

Race 12 1800m
FIFTIES (12) reunites with Takayuki Yano after scoring with ease over 2000m at Kawasaki last time. Has been in sound form this prep with a win and a placing from three starts. Leading contender. MAGIC WORDS (11) is having his first run since October 2. Has a very good fresh record, scoring two times including one over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Sure to make his presence felt. MIDNIGHT HAWK (9) was safely held in better company two runs back then appreciated the easier grade last time, scoring over 1800m at this track. Rates highly and can measure up again. DAITA JUSTICE (6) is third up today. Turned in a better run last time when fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at this track over 1800m. Should be poised just off the lead. In the mix. |
