NUM TIME COMMENT
1 10:40 Race 1 1400m
SHAN DIAN (3) drew wide and was pretty plain last time despite meeting with market support when fifth at this course and distance. Better than last start and open to sharp improvement. ECORO AMORE (9) settled well back and never threatened when ninth over 1400m at this track last time out. In the mix in this suitable race. AMOR FATI (6) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when ninth over this journey at this track. Look for an improved run. WIN REVERENCE (1) can do better than the last start eighth over 1400m at this track.
2 11:10 Race 2 1400m
CRESCO YUSHA (3) is a talented entire who has been in the money at all three starts. Is at the races for the first time since he finished second over 1400m at this track on August 27. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Expecting a bold showing. FACE NINE (2) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when ninth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back. VIGOR SUNRISE (8) missed the placings last start when seventh over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up and look for an improved run. MOISTURE (4) produced a better run last start, finishing sixth over 1230m at this track. Well placed to feature.
3 11:40 Race 3 1400m
SAKURA VIGUEUR (5) was out of the money first-up but has since placed two on end and looks close to a win, the latest effort a third over 1400m at this track. Right in this. RUMILLION (1) was always well back over this course and distance last time and never threatened in the straight when tenth. Anticipating a better run this time. PADME (6) failed to feature last start, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Expected to feature if at her best. ROSA BANKSIAE (9) ran below expectations last start, finishing seventh here over 1230m. In the mix.
4 12:10 Race 4 1700m
INJECTION (10) has been thereabouts without winning, the most recent offering a second at this track over 1400m when he was beaten one length. Expected to cross from wide out. Key runner. HERNANDEZ (2) is a strong fresh performer back after a break of five months and looking to emulate his win at this track to kick off the last campaign. One of the genuine hopes in the race. VARIRAPTOR (9) finished sixth last time out over 1400m at this track four weeks ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Could prove tough to stop. MAESTRO LIGHT (5) is ready to win after he just missed last time, beaten a nose into second over 1400m at this track. Sure to run well again.
5 12:45 Race 5 820m
POMME (1) broke through for her maiden win over 820m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Nicely drawn on the fence and she is a key runner. EPIC DAY (4) has progressed nicely in her last couple of runs. Finished second here two starts back then got the job done by 1.3 lengths as favourite last time out over 820m at this track. Takashi Nakata scored on her last time and retains the mount. Taking on a better line-up this time but she deserves plenty of thought. TREASURE BLUE (8) did a great job to score by half a length over today's course and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meets some better types this time but another win beckons. MEISHO MASATSURA (7) was prominent until they straightened last time but weakened to finish seventh over 1400m at this track. Expect him to finish closer here.
6 01:15 Race 6 1400m
GRAY RULE (2) turned things around last start and landed the prize by a neck over 820m at this track. Needs to be at her best to beat this field but she is up to the challenge. A SHIN BIRMAN (6) broke through for her maiden win over 820m at this track last time. Looks well placed and she should be in the finish again. SMART QUEEN (4) is putting together some solid results. Finished third here two starts back then scored by 3.5 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Meets some better types this time but she has the talent to test this line-up. SABUNO RAINBOW (10) made progress last start to finish second over 1200m at Ohi. Likely to hold the form and is a strong top-three prospect.
7 01:45 Race 7 1400m
SNOWDAY (9) was a winner two starts back at this track then narrowly missed a repeat last start when second over 1400m at this track. Likely to feature again. LOVERS' TIFF (7) returned from a spell and was safely held when seventh over 1400m at this track. Fitter and in the mix. LAC PUER (5) missed the frame last time when fourth at this track. Prior to that had been in the money on two consecutive occasions. Should be competitive. MITOLOGIA (4) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 1.1 lengths away in third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and will be thereabouts again.
8 02:15 Race 8 1400m
GIVRE (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at this course and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Likely to be there at the finish again. FLY BY VENUS (1) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Satoshi Matsuura. Finished 14th at Chukyo over 1400m at the opening run last time in work. A solid return is anticipated. METEO RENA (2) has been racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at this track over 1700m. Nice alley so must be a leading chance again. AURORA LUMIERE (5) lines up on the back of a fourth over 1400m at this track. Deserves serious consideration.
9 02:50 Race 9 1230m
MAMMARU (12) has been in good form, scoring three back at this track then placing twice in a row, most recently finishing third over 820m at this track. Tackling a deeper field this time but he is capable of running a bold race. IMPRESSING (11) kicked off this campaign with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when fifth over 1230m here. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards. TULEARENSIS (7) was an impressive winner last time over 1200m at Monbetsu, stalking the pace before lengthening nicely to score by 2 lengths. Bold showing expected again. STAR EYE SEIRA (1) brings the right form to the table after taking out a 1230m contest at this track last time out by half a length. Solid top-three hope.
10 03:25 Race 10 1400m
WONDER BLING (5) comes here fresh from an all-the-way win by a neck over today's journey at this track on November 20. F Komaki has been the pilot at his last four wins. Major player. CHATEAU EZE (6) wound up strongly last time out to finish just 0.7 lengths adrift in third over 1400m at this track. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Could prove tough to beat. KIKUNO LE MEILLEUR (12) was flying with two wins in a row before being sent out favourite last time and finishing third over 1230m at this track. Well placed to return to best form. WINGS ALL (2) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 820m at this track. Can make her presence felt.
11 04:00 Race 11 1400m
MONGE GIFT (7) scored by 1.75 lengths last start at this track over this distance. Form over this journey is strong, boasting seven wins from 13 starts. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Best form puts her right in this. ASHAKA DUMEY (3) made it three wins in a row last time out when he scored by one length over 1400m at this track. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form he is capable of another big performance. MILD PRIME (1) showed good early dash and raced on the speed last start before fading to finish 2 lengths back in fifth over 1700m at this track. Can give backers a sight. A SHIN KEPLER (9) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1400m at this track. Will strip fitter this time and is capable of another top-three outcome.
12 04:35 Race 12 820m
CRESCO TAISHI (2) opened this prep last start with a third over 820m at this track. Has a sound record here with two wins and two minor placings from eight starts. Big run is likely. VENT SAISONNIER (8) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Could be hard to beat again in this suitable race. MONONOFU YELLOW (9) finished fifth last time out over 820m at this track. One of the key chances. JHANG MAGHIANA (7) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time over 820m at this track, finishing third and beaten 0.8 lengths at $24.60. Minor claims.
