NUM TIME COMMENT
1 02:30 Race 1 1500m
PURE VALKYRIE (9) turned in a nice run last time to finish second over this track and trip after being in the firing line on the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. K'S CHARLOTTE (4) was close to breaking through last time, beaten just a neck. Big chance to shed the maiden tag. CATTLEYA NOCTURNE (2) finished third when resuming from a spell last start here. Hard to beat in this suitable race. SANYO MOMOTARO (6) finished rearward after he gave away a big start. Sets up better for this and is in the mix.
2 03:05 Race 2 1500m
TECHNO PINEAPPLE (2) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better here. Top chance in a nice race for her. MASANO LILY (8) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1100m at Monbetsu, scoring by a length. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and she is one of the main chances. KAITO AZALEE (7) missed the frame last start over 1800m at Tokyo after being in contention on the bend. This is a much easier assignment and she deserves another chance. Similar story for NUFF SAID (4). He has switched yards since finishing down the track at Tokyo Dirt. Worth considering in this line-up.
3 03:45 Race 3 1500m
FLORA VENUS (6) found one better last start at this track over this distance. Has a strong record at this trip, scoring three times from six starts. Soichi Kato who has three wins when partnering stays on. Likely to feature. TAGANO MIRACLE (11) was in the placings at her last two starts, finishing third at the latest appearance at this track. Holds genuine claims. PLUMERIA RING (3) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better, only beaten a length. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. MIYA IGUAZU (4) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when fourth over 1500m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure prominently.
4 04:20 Race 4 1500m
BRIGHT BEGINNING (10) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a length away in second last time over 1700m at this track. Well placed and worth another chance. EPIC CYCLE (3) finished fifth last time out here. Nicely placed and expected to go well. FLECHE NOIR (11) has been thereabouts since getting off the mark five runs back, the latest effort a third here. Should be prominent from the outset. One of the main contenders. TAGANO POSTMAN (6) is better placed this time in a thin contest.
5 04:55 Race 5 1400m
SARASARA HAIR (2) didn't do a bad job when third last start after being in the firing line on the turn over 1700m at this track, beaten 1.3 lengths. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has the talent to produce another win. OR MIRABELLE (11) made steady ground over 1500m at this track to finish midfield last time out. Good record at this journey and bold showing expected. SEI SCARLET (5) started at $8.10 last time on the back of a win at this track two starts ago but was below her best, finishing fifth here. Ideally placed and is sure to take plenty of stopping. TRUST YOU (8) finished fourth over 1500m at this track at her latest appearance. Better than recent efforts suggest.
6 05:30 Race 6 1500m
GOD TREASURE (6) made good late inroads and got up for second over this track and trip. Has a decent record at this track. Should run well. YANUSHI THUNDER (9) improved last start but found a couple better here after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. ONE HEART (2) has struggled to threaten of late but has best figures measure up. Worth another chance. CALTAGIRONE (10) didn't threaten last time but has earlier form here this prep that lines up well for this. Keeping safe.
7 06:05 Race 7 1500m
REI NATIA (8) started favourite last time out over this track and trip but found one better, making it three minor placings from four starts this campaign. Will be tough to beat. HAKUSAN SHUTTLE (4) placed two back then last time out was fourth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 1400m at this track. Should be camped just off the leaders. Great chance to break through. T O NILSSON (2) made progress last time out, finishing third over this track and trip after being in the firing line on the turn. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. TAMAMO LUPINUS (3) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth here. Worth including.
8 06:35 Race 8 1400m
SAMPAGUITA CHAN (9) booted up from the inside draw to lead last start and was there on straightening before being claimed and finishing third here. Will take catching. DESAFIADOR (5) managed to fill a minor placing at this track two starts back before finishing fourth at this track last time. Among the chances. BISHU BISHU (11) finished fifth last time out here. Holds claims in this thin contest. ROSEO (4) progressed nicely last start to finish a close third here after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort.
9 07:10 Race 9 1400m
MIKINO OBOE (9) built on a nice third two starts back at this track with success over 1500m at this track two weeks ago, getting home by one length. Finds the right race this time and can salute again. LIFE FULL SMILES (5) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at this track, most recently finishing third over 1700m at this track when she was always up in the leading division. Likely improver with strong prospects. MACARIO (12) has a moderate winning strike-rate but performed well last time at Kasamatsu, finishing second at the end of 1400m after being in the firing line on the turn. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. HEKIREKI ISSEN (11) next best.
10 07:40 Race 10 1500m
NORINORI BRILLANTE (2) did his best work late and finished 2 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1700m at this track, an improvement on his fifth at this track the run before. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BENT (12) was well beaten in stronger company two starts back then found a better race last time and scored dominantly over 1700m at this track. Finds a suitable assignment and is among the leading chances again. DAICHI RAFALE (8) finished third last start here. In the right race and is sure to prove hard to beat. RAGING THRUST (10) was in contention on the turn but was disappointing here last time out when in the market. That followed a good second the run before. Nicely placed to make amends.
11 08:15 Race 11 1700m
MEINER LACAILLE (9) went forward last start and proved too strong, getting home comfortably over 1500m at this track. Not much tougher this time. Leading player. SOLAR RAY (7) wasn't far away last time and is edging towards a win, the latest effort a solid second here. Has sound form at this track and distance with a win and five minor placings from nine runs. Best form puts him right in this. ORION HEART (5) is a distance specialist who improved last time out to score by a neck as public elect here. Worth serious consideration. DAGR FORCE (3) missed the placings last time out over 1900m at Kasamatsu. Prior to that had won two races on end. Has a formidable record at this journey with five wins and five placings from 11 starts and cannot be taken lightly.
12 08:45 Race 12 1500m
REINE DU SABLE (9) scored last start at this track over 1400m after she was in the firing line on the bend. Has a very good record over this journey with two wins from four starts. Should camp just off the leaders. Will give a great sight. LEADENHALL (2) doesn't boast the best winning strike rate but ran a nice race last time out, finishing a narrow fourth over 2000m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ONWARD SELF (8) did a great job to score by a neck over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot repeat the dose. STAR LORD (10) turned in a fine effort to win here last start in a far better effort. No reason he cannot go close.
