Race 2 1400m
GRUN WALD (5) resumes in a similar race to his only run last prep five-and-a-half months ago when he scored by 30 lengths. Strong chance while fresh. JUSTIN BOLT (1) was in the money two starts back here but couldn't back it up last time when eighth at this track over 1400m. Has his share of ability and finds a suitable race. CHERBOURG RAIN (3) could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Suited in this lineup and is among the better hopes. FOREWIND (8) was fourth at the second run back from a break in a 1400m contest at this track at his latest appearance. Can turn things around. |

Race 4 1400m
LAKI ALEXANDER (5) raced on the speed and found plenty to score by 0.8 lengths at today's track and trip last start in a much improved run. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. DANON GRAY (4) opened this prep with a win two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when ninth over 1400m at this track. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish. MEISHO KOTODAMA (10) showed good pace over 1400m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 4 lengths. Likely to press forward from wide out. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. KAZUTOSHIKUN (2) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when seventh over 1230m at this track. Nicely placed to play a leading role. |

Race 6 820m
WONDER COLORFUL (7) was well fancied when resuming last start over 820m at this track when fourth. Expected to improve and gets his chance. SAND EMPRESS (6) is back at the races for the first time since August 8. Yet to win first up but generally runs well with two minor placings from four tries. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent. PECHE BLANCHE (2) was in the money two starts back but couldn't back it up last time when 12th at this track over 820m. Finds a nice race and can atone. ARAJAI (4) produced a better run last start when fourth over 820m at this track. Has ability and is one of the chances. |

Race 7 1870m
LUX ECLAIR (7) showed good early speed and raced just off the lead before lifting to score by half a length over 1800m at Monbetsu last start. Big chance on the back of that encouraging effort last time. GRAND COSME (2) proved too strong last start and scored by 1.3 lengths over 1870m at this track. Yet to miss the frame in five starts over this course and distance. Reunites with Daichi Matsuki who has two wins from six rides. Should be in the finish. ENA ANIMAL (4) ran below expectations last time at this track over 1700m, finishing sixth. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. KIICHI AUTUMN (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. Capable of featuring prominently. |

Race 12 1230m
CIPHER CITY (6) returned from a spell three weeks ago when he was seventh over 1400m at this track. Fitter so expect a better run this time. THUNDER EFFECT (5) has switched yards since scoring by a neck at Monbetsu over 1000m on November 11. Solid top-three chance for the new barn.

Will be in this for a long way. AFRICAN LILY (11) did a great job to score by half a length over this course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Can keep the ball rolling. |
