Race 1 1400m
ELIGIBLE (8) got well back over 1200m at Monbetsu last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 12th. Look for an improved run. DEA LUCE (7) was out of the money last start when she was never in contention over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Finds a suitable assignment and can take this out. ODONTOGLOSSUM (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth starting at $2.70. Could prove hard to beat in this suitable race. YASUKE (6) returns from a spell of seven months and is having his first run for a new yard. Finished sixth at Kokura Dirt over 1700m when first-up last time in work. In the mix. |

Race 2 1400m
BARULLO AZUL (2) landed his maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 0.8 lengths. Sparingly raced and has more to offer. Looks well placed and he should be in the finish. SUSANNA (3) is an 11-start maiden who finished seventh at her most recent appearance over 1400m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Rates highly in this field and can turn things around. CORDS OF LOVE (9) improved last start to finish third over 800m at this track. Sure to run well again. COSTA VERDE (7) finished fourth after being in contention on the corner at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on November 27. Appeals as a top-four contender. |

Race 3 1400m
NIHONPIRO VESPER (4) went fast early and went on to score by 4 lengths last time out over 1000m at Monbetsu. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within her grasp. MARIENPLATZ (2) failed to figure last time over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Backmarker who keeps coming and could prove tough to beat. WISTERIA BELL (1) led early and was still in the firing line on the turn last start before tiring to finish sixth over 1400m at this track. Worth including in this suitable contest. KUMASAN ARIGATO (5) missed the frame last start, finishing seventh over 1400m at this track. Rates well on best figures and is worth including. |

Race 4 1400m
MALIE (3) is closing in on a win, last time out finishing second over 1400m at this track when just 2 lengths from the winner. Overdue and gets her chance. MILKY PRINCESS (7) returned from a spell a month ago when she finished seventh over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Enjoys a drop in grade so look for a big run. DERMA RED STAR (1) showed good early speed last start before boxing on well and finishing third over today's trip at this track. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. YASAKA ETOILE (9) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when third over 1400m at this track. Well placed and gets her chance. |

Race 5 1400m
G T PARIS (3) encouraging first-up run when runner-up at this track over 1400m on November 14. Fitter and is a leading contender. PARSIFAL (10) raced on the speed last start over this course and distance and stuck on well to finish third. Anticipating a big run again. KURINO JITTERBUG (2) wasn't far away last time at big odds, finishing second over 1400m at this track. Capable of testing this field. CORNICHE (6) ran a better race last start, finishing fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. |

Race 6 1400m
EIFER DAIO (8) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when sixth over 1600m at this track. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Best form puts him right in this. WIN LAGURUS (5) was comfortably accounted for when ninth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable assignment and can get the job done. ONIJI OTANI (3) finished second last start over 1700m at Nagoya, beaten one length. The engagement of Hosokawa Satoshi is a positive move. This is a more suitable contest and can take this out. ANTENNA LAST (6) was fourth in a 1400m contest at this track last time out. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects. |

Race 7 1400m
DRUM LIME (6) is close to a win after a sequence of second placings, the latest over 1400m at this track. Key runner who should feature in the finish. COSMO ESMERALDA (7) finished fourth when resuming from a spell for a new stable and tackling a dirt track for the first time at this track over 1400m last start. Backmarker who gets home hard. Could be tough to hold out. HINANO MARCHS (2) proved too strong two runs ago here but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track. Finds a more suitable contest and can get the job done. LAGOON (8) is on a quick turnaround after a moderate tenth over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Likely improver with top-three prospects. |

Race 8 1400m
AVENTURIER (5) has been safely held at his last couple of runs, the latest when tenth over 1400m at Kyoto. Will appreciate this easier company and is worth another chance. ALBA MINORU (6) returned from a spell a week-and-a-half ago when he was prominent at the corner before being finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. Fitter this time and finds a suitable race. TOHO GEMMA (7) performed well last time at this track, finishing third at the end of 1400m. Has the ability to build on that encouraging effort last start. BOLD HAWK (4) proved too strong two runs ago but was not as effective last time out when eighth over 1400m at this track. Can bounce back. |

Race 9 1400m
MAPLE KENJI (4) finished second last time out at this track. On a 10-day back-up. Nice run last time and is a definite winning chance. BOIS ETOILES (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing sixth starting at $6.70. Finds a nice race and can bounce back. SUNSET COLOR (2) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. Meeting a deeper field this time but she is up to the challenge.

Race 10 1600m
ONIMARU (3) built on a nice second two starts back with success as favourite over 1400m at this track eight days ago, getting home by 2 lengths. Hiroshi Ohara scored on him last time and retains the mount. Goes up a rung or two but he is good enough to score again. HAYAIMONO GACHI (4) is a distance specialist who improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 1400m at this track. Must raise the bar but this looks well within his grasp. WIN FRANCHISE (7) proved too strong last start and scored by 2.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Has five wins here and is among the chances. SKY OJI (10) improved sharply last time out to score by 2 lengths over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. |
