Race 1 1200m
SICILIAN MIND (2) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing seventh at this track over 1500m, beaten 9 lengths. Watch for a much better performance this time. TAISEI LINO (4) produced a fair effort on debut last time out when 7 lengths from the winner in fifth at this track over 1500m. Worth following up with that first run out of the way. MINO HOTATE (7) resumes from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Could only manage to finish fifth at the latest run over 1200m at this track. Leading player on that run - bold showing expected. YUYU STAR (9) settled well back and failed to come on last start when tenth over 1200m at this track at his first run back from a break. Has ability and shapes as a top-three chance. |

Race 2 1200m
RYUNO LEGACY (3) faced the starter for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing sixth at this track over 1500m, beaten 7 lengths. Jumps from a far better gate this time around. Worth following up with that first run out of the way. BRIGHTIA MER (9) missed the placings on debut two starts back then ran a better race and finished 8 lengths away in sixth last time out over 1200m at this track after being prominent at the bend. Finds a nice race and can feature in the finish. MAHARAJA (11) finished out of the money on debut two starts back then was beaten 10 lengths when seventh in a 1200m contest at this track five weeks ago after being in contention on the corner. Better placed now. BUBBLY HERO (12) was safely held on debut over 1200m at this track last start, finishing seventh and beaten 34 lengths. Capable of a much better performance. |

Race 3 1500m
JASMINE CHARA (10) could only manage sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1500m at this track, beaten 4 lengths after being prominent at the bend. Won't find this as tough so she is ready to find the winners' list. KOBINAI FOUNTAIN (9) ran fourth at her latest appearance over 1500m at this track, finishing 4 lengths from the winner. Expecting a bold showing. CHANCE MAKER (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when eighth over 1500m at this track. Will enjoy a drop in class so he is a major player. BEQUEST (7) settled well back then found the line nicely to finish fourth, beaten 5 lengths, over this journey at Urawa last time out. Sure to be winding up late. |

Race 4 1200m
SAIL FREE (2) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid third at Nagoya over 1400m. Meets some better types this time but he has the ability to test this field. LEGEND (5) continues to race well with a win two back at Saga before finishing one length away in second last time over 1400m at Saga. Has a high cruising speed. Sure to be in the finish. LE JOUEUR (6) scored last start at Morioka Dirt to make it two wins from four starts this campaign. One of the contenders again. BLACK EMPEROR (7) was prominent at the corner and finished third last time over 1200m at this track, beaten 31 lengths. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Ready to go a couple better. |

Race 5 1200m
ORTU SOLIS (4) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1200m at this track. Takehiro Kasano stays aboard. Likely to feature. RANHARDT (8) ran fourth at his latest appearance over 1200m at this track, finishing 6 lengths from the winner. Ticks all the right boxes. WIN GLADNESS (1) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1500m at Urawa, beaten 8 lengths into eighth. Likely improver with strong prospects. SMILE NAGOMI (3) finished 5 lengths away in seventh at her last appearance over 1400m at Urawa on November 27 after she got a long way back in the run. Among the better chances in what looks a nice race. |

Race 6 1200m
HIGH END MODEL (4) is returning from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Finished fourth at Hakodate Dirt over 1000m at the first run last prep. Now with a new trainer Takashi Harita. Key runner while fresh. YOTARO (9) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 1.5 lengths over today's journey at this track. Has a sound record at this journey with a win and two minor placings. Definite winning hope. SORGENTE PO (5) closed last prep with a disappointing fifth over 1200m at this track. Back for a new campaign with a change of rider. Should be poised just off the lead. One of the main contenders. KO OLINA LAGOON (12) is a maiden who has filled a minor placing two times in nine starts. Never a threat when resuming last start over 1200m at this track, finishing 8 lengths from the winner in ninth. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Not to be discounted. |

Race 7 1600m
LETEMPS ALLURE (8) is back after a break of six-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1500m at Nagoya. Has ability and should be right in the finish. WELWITSCHIA (2) went around over this course and distance last time and led from the outset to score by 1.5 lengths. Kenji Okamura who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. YODONO TAIYO (5) met with solid support last start over 1500m at this track when second, beaten 4 lengths. Deserves another chance. WIN PROTEA (13) is back from a break of three-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when 12th over 1600m at this track. Has the speed to overcome the draw. Sure to be thereabouts. |

Race 8 1700m
HOSHINO SUNA (7) went forward last start over 2000m at Ohi and held on well for third, beaten half a length. Enjoys a drop in grade so he is a major player. O SHIN SCAT (3) was well found in the betting last time out but could only manage to finish fifth over 2000m at Urawa in a disappointing performance. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. TECHNO DIAMOND (11) could only manage tenth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track, beaten only a neck after being in contention on the turn. Likely improver with strong prospects. GREAT FURIOSO (2) is close to breaking through after three consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 2000m at Kawasaki. Should be figuring again. |

Race 9 1800m
DANON PICTURE (12) is a progressive galloper who is first-up since finishing ninth over 2400m at Niigata four months ago which was the only run of that prep. Has a strong fresh record including a win and one minor placings. Is very well placed this inferior company; the measuring stick. TRAIN THE MIND (14) turned in a strong run to win two back but below best last time when missed the frame over 2100m at Tokyo Dirt. Found the class too testing last time but better placed here and should feature in the finish. SEZAN WORLD (8) finished 6 lengths from the winner in ninth on turf at Niigata two starts back. Missed the frame in another run on turf last time at Fukushima over 1800m when 5.5 lengths adrift in seventh. Strong contender back on the dirt. Can atone. GLARE NEON LIGHT (2) produced a better run last start at the second run of the campaign, beaten 4.5 lengths into sixth over 2100m at Kawasaki. Nicely placed to find some form. |

Race 10 1600m
LIGHT CURTAIN (8) was well in commission last start over 1500m at Kawasaki when second, beaten 3 lengths. Can bounce back. CROWNING CUP (1) drifted well back from the inside draw last time before winding up strongly and finishing fourth over 1600m at this track. Certain to be winding up strongly. EYE LEADS (9) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when 13th over 1600m at Ohi, beaten 15 lengths. Won't find this as tough so he can make amends. KING'S POWER (5) showed good early dash and stalked the pace last start before drawing clear to score by a head over 1100m at Monbetsu. In form and worth including. |

Race 11 1600m
PRESTO MULAN (9) is in great form, lifting strongly to score last start over 1600m at this track to make it two in succession. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Likely to feature. SAZANKA (3) finished third when resuming two runs back at Kawasaki then progressed nicely last time out to score by 2 lengths as favourite over 1400m at Kawasaki. Going up a level this time but she is up to the challenge. SARANSK (8) has been kept fresh since finishing fifth over 1600m at this track five weeks ago. Was a determined winner two starts back. Has the speed to overcome the draw. One of the main contenders. MILLE NUITS (10) was last at the races when she finished fourth over 1600m at Ohi on September 5. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. |

Race 12 2200m
MARGOT FESTA (11) broke through for his maiden win over 1500m at Urawa last time, scoring comfortably. Shaping up nicely and a bold showing is expected. CLARITY (2) was an impressive winner last time over 1600m at Morioka Dirt, leading throughout and putting 4 lengths on her rivals. One of the top chances again. EXMEDI NO KISEKI (5) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 5 lengths away in second over 1800m at this track when he was handy all the way. Has his share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ONIMUSHA (1) failed to figure again last time over 1500m at this track, beaten 15 lengths into 11th. Has a high cruising speed. Can feature in the finish. |
