Race 1 1200m
JASMIN (3) was a gutsy winner last time over 1700m at Monbetsu, scoring by half a length to make it two wins in a row. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Will give a great sight. HIGH SPEED BIO (5) wasted no time getting off the mark as favourite on debut over 1200m at this track five weeks ago. Has plenty of upside and can win again. WAKE UP PEOPLE (8) ran below expectations last time at Nagoya over 1500m, finishing fifth and beaten 4 lengths. Solid top-three prospect. JUST KINGDOM (9) lined up for start 10 last time and after sitting on the pace he weakened to finish fifth over 1200m at this track, beaten 8 lengths. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Not to be discounted. |

Race 2 1200m
EPIGENETICS (3) raced handy on debut last start and gave a good sight, holding on for third and beaten 5.5 lengths over 1500m at this track. Has upside and can open his account. ETERNAL FIZZ (1) showed good early dash at the first run after a spell last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 2.75 lengths away in third over 1200m at this track. Expected to measure up again. AIO AILE (9) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Monbetsu over 1000m when first-up last time in work. Has found a suitable race and is worth including. LIVRE MAN (6) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth after being in contention on the corner. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. |

Race 3 1200m
FRUITS PARFAIT (6) scored at her most recent appearance, getting home by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at Urawa as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with two wins from five starts. Sure to go well again. SCREAM EAGLE (5) did a great job to score by 2 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Finds a tougher race but he has the talent to test this line-up. PRINCESS DARK (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Urawa, beaten 3.5 lengths into seventh. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. MASHI GOOD LUCK (12) finished third over 1000m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 18. Comes here with definite top-three claims. |

Race 4 1200m
AMMIRAZIONE (7) was prominent on straightening and stuck on well to finish second last start over 1200m at this track, beaten one length as favourite. Likely improver with strong prospects. MAMA ARIGATO (1) finished 2.25 lengths away in fourth last time out over 900m at Kawasaki after being in contention on the corner three weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Solid winning chance. REESSAYEZ (3) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished eighth at Fukushima over 1200m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Takanori Yamanaka. One of the genuine hopes in the race. WINDHOSE (9) returns from a layoff of five months. Scored over 1200m at this track at the start of last prep. Boasts a fine first-up record of three wins from four starts. Can make his presence felt. |

Race 5 1000m
HYOI ZABURO (8) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish sixth, beaten 5.5 lengths, over 1000m at this track. Likely to measure up. ETERNAL WIND (3) finished ninth last start over 1000m at Monbetsu after racing on the pace for much of the way. Will be on the speed in transit and is expected to take some running down. VIORNA (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 4 lengths away in second over 1000m at this track. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. LOTO KAGURA (14) was responsible for a better run last start, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth over 1400m at Urawa. Well placed to bounce back. |

Race 6 1200m
MAKE SENSE (11) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1200m at this track last time. Masashige Honda stays on. Fitter and is expected to feature. AMOUR PISCES (5) resumes after a break of four months. Looking to emulate his debut win over 1000m at this track to kick off last prep. Expect him to pose a serious challenge. OISHI FUJINO HANA (10) recorded a gutsy maiden victory last time out over 1200m at this track, scoring by a head. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Shaping up nicely and he is right in the mix again. GEOPARK LOVE (8) will strip fitter for this after running below expectations first-up at this track, finishing fifth and beaten 12 lengths over 1500m. Well placed to atone. |

Race 7 1200m
MOZU MIRACLE (8) led throughout last time over 1400m at Kanazawa and scored a comfortable win. Can push forward again here and is a top chance. NO STANDARD (1) missed the placings when resuming two runs back then didn't feature last start when 47 lengths away in tenth over 1500m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. BARNSBURY (7) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.1 lengths from the winner in third over 1200m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. BARJEEL (11) showed good speed and fought on for second over 1200m at Monbetsu last time. Is yet to miss the frame from four starts this campaign, including a win. One of the fringe hopes. |

Race 8 1000m
LOOK AT ME (2) has been hard to fault, scoring two in a row before hitting the frame at the last two including a third most recently over 900m at Kawasaki when she was always up in the leading division. Going up a level this time but she good enough to play a major role. SUZUNO LINE (5) couldn't have been more impressive first up last start when she scored by 4 lengths over 1000m at this track. Unbeaten at this journey and must be respected. PHACELIA (6) gave away a considerable start over 800m at Urawa last time before hitting the line well to finish fourth. Among the chances and will be tough to stop. MORNING TAMPOPO (1) ran below expectations last time at Urawa, finishing sixth and beaten 2 lengths. Suitably placed so expecting a better run this time. |

Race 9 1200m
AKSHARDHAM (1) returned from a break for the new stable and was on dirt for the first time when successful over 1200m at this track, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Expecting a bold showing. MANA LANAKILA (5) is unbeaten this campaign after two appearances, the latest win coming over 1000m at Monbetsu. Kept fresh and expected to be in the finish. TASSEL (11) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1200m at this track, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Likely improver with strong prospects. THE BIG MAN (4) missed the placings two runs back then didn't do any better last start when 12 lengths away in eighth over 1500m at Urawa. Suitably placed so can turn things around. |

Race 10 1000m
ULTRA WORLD (12) went forward last start over 1000m at this track and held on well for second, beaten a head. Tricky draw to overcome but does have good gate speed. Taking on a better line-up this time but he cannot be underestimated. PEISHA CURREN (1) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish 3 lengths back in second over 800m at Urawa. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. MY VENERABLE (8) closed last campaign with back-to-back placings, the last of which was at this track four-and-a-half months ago. Shapes as one to consider. HISAMA WIN (14) improved last time out, finishing a neck from the winner in third over 1000m at this track. This looks a good race for him so another forward showing looks likely. |

Race 11 1000m
PRIMO PYTHON (13) made it three wins in a row last start when he scored by a head over 1000m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is up to the task. COPANO PASADENA (6) settled well back before making steady ground in the straight last start to finish seventh, beaten 4 lengths, over this journey at this track. Nicely placed and expected to go well. MASTER PLAN (12) is a 13-time winner who has been at the top of his game of late, beaten a head into second last time out over 1000m at this track. Races well here and expected to figure in the finish. ARMS REIGN (1) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when 12th over 1200m at Ohi. Has the class to return to the winners' list. |

Race 12 1200m
JOYFUL ROCK (5) has been a regular in the winners' stall of late including last start in dominant fashion over 1200m at this track. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. SIRIUS (11) resumes from a spell of 11 weeks and is having his first outing under new trainer Yasuto Mori. Finished 11th at Niigata Dirt over 1200m at the opening run last time in work. One of the better hopes despite the layoff. TAISEI FESTA (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time when he was prominent throughout over 1400m at Kawasaki. Meets a stronger field but he is good enough to take this out. FAST LANE (1) went forward and gave a great sight when second over 1200m at this track last time out. Masashige Honda who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Not to be discounted. |
