Race 1 850m
SHIKI (3) finished second, beaten one length, when resuming from a spell last start over 850m at this track after he was in the firing line on the bend. Placed to advantage and can run a bold race. GIFTED ABELIA (6) is racing well and is close to a win, the latest effort a solid second at this track over 850m after being prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. KITANO LUCIR (4) finished third last start over 850m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver with bright prospects. ANZU BIJIN (1) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 850m at this track. Fitter so can figure in the finish. |

Race 2 1300m
BLEUE DEESSE (11) returns from a spell of 11 months and is having her first run for a new yard. Finished eighth at Chukyo over 1600m when first-up last time in work. Drops back from the JRA circuit today. Showed enough in her only start to suggest this is well within her grasp. FAST PASS KEY (4) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with strong prospects. CHARIS THEIA (3) is a two-start maiden who returned last time and finished ninth at this track over 1300m. Bold showing expected with added fitness this time. PRISM SPECTRE (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1300m at this track. Strips fitter and can turn things around. |

Race 3 1300m
BLACK BEAT (11) is on the quick back up after sitting on the pace and boxing on well to finish third at this track six days ago. Has a wide gate to overcome but shapes as a major threat. KITANO ARTEMIS (8) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 6 lengths when fourth over 1300m at this track two weeks ago after being prominent at the bend. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. ON THE BASARA (10) ran above expectations and got up for third at long odds at his latest appearance at this track over 1300m. Good signs last time and worth consideration. G T BONHEUR (2) could only manage to finish fourth after being in the firing line on the corner at her latest appearance over 1300m at this track. Appeals as a top-four contender. |

Race 4 1300m
HANA HIRAKU (1) again failed to feature last start, finishing sixth over 1300m at this track. Rates highly on best form and should go a lot better. HOROYOI MANGETSU (11) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth after starting at $9.80. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. KARAJISHI (5) finished third at Morioka Dirt two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1300m at this track, finishing back in eighth. Likely improver with strong prospects. STRAIGHT (7) hit the frame two starts ago at this track but ran below par last time when seventh over 1300m at this track. Likely improver with top-three prospects. |

Race 5 1400m
SHINY BLUE (11) showed good early muster and fought on to finish second last start over 1100m at Monbetsu. Has to overcome a tricky draw. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. Z NAKKI (4) ran well on debut last start to finish third over 850m at this track in a tougher race. Sure to take a lot from that hitout so she should be in the finish again. SUGAR STONE (7) has started twice, running a good second on debut then finishing fifth, beaten 5 lengths, last time over 1200m at Morioka Dirt. Will drift back but wind up late. Debut run was good and he looks a great chance to open the account. SALIRE CIMA (5) finished 3 lengths from the winner in fifth at his most recent outing over 1300m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Appeals as a top-four contender. |

Race 6 850m
COURANTE (7) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 5.5 lengths when fourth over 850m at this track two weeks ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. NONG LOM (1) settled towards the rear and failed to threaten in the straight last start when ninth over this course and distance. Toshiya Yamamoto gets the best out of this six-year-old entire. Best figures measure up nicely. Sure to run well. PLAYFULNESS (8) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 850m at this track, crossing the line in fifth. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. I'LL BE THERE (9) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when seventh over 850m at this track. Good enough on her day and can play a prominent role. |

Race 7 850m
TEN FRESH (1) progressed nicely last time out to finish just 1.4 lengths from the winner in third over 850m at this track after being prominent at the corner. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. HEART LOOP (5) finished sixth two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 850m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. LOGAN MOUNTAIN (2) showed little early speed and was always well back last start when ninth over this journey at this track. Finds a nice race and can figure in the finish. LORD AL FINE (6) hasn't been able to break through for an extended period, the latest effort a tenth over 1400m at this track after he was well back on straightening. Well placed and can fill a top-three spot. |

Race 8 1400m
DEN LILLE HAVFRUE (10) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role. EDEL MUT (2) missed the placings two runs back then didn't feature last start sixth over 1400m at Morioka Dirt. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. CORVINA (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1400m at Morioka Dirt, beaten 6 lengths into fifth. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. M T HIBIKI (6) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track, beaten 6 lengths. Looks to be in the right race so expect another big run. |

Race 9 1400m
TAKAICHI NADAL (12) is racing well, scoring two back at Morioka Dirt before finishing a neck from the winner in second last time over 1400m at this track. Tatsunori Sugawara who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Expecting a bold showing. AUFWIND (4) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten a neck. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. In a suitable race and can find the winner's circle. YASUE (10) was well in commission last time out but could only manage to finish seventh over 1400m at this track in a disappointing performance. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. COUNTER ATTACK (11) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a spell on July 6, finishing 11th over 1600m at Morioka Dirt. Looks a strong top-three prospect. |

Race 10 1400m
ACE RAISING (1) took up the running last time and turned in front but faded to finish fourth, beaten 1.4 lengths, over this journey at this track. Will take catching again. ALLEGRO VIVO (4) finished 4 lengths from the winner in fourth last start over 1400m at this track, an improvement on his sixth at Morioka Dirt the run before. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. VIOLET MAUVE (2) fought on for third last start over 1400m at this track, making it two minor placings in a row. Likely improver with strong prospects. SHIRAYURI (12) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1400m at this track. This looks a good race for her and she is one of the key runners. |

Race 11 1400m
VA SAVOIR (12) went forward last start and gave a great sight when second over 1600m at this track. Should be prominent despite the wide draw. Reunites with Yuri Takahashi who has never missed the frame from five rides, including two wins. Well placed and should be in the finish. BUSTER SHOT (2) has switched yards since finishing ninth three-and-a-half weeks ago over 1500m at Kawasaki. Rates highly and makes plenty of appeal. FRIEND SILVER (8) hit the frame two starts ago at Morioka Dirt but ran below par last time when eighth over 1600m at this track. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ABAGNALE (7) drew wide last time and was safely held when fifth over this track and trip. Great chance to bounce back. |

Race 12 1600m
WURAYAH (6) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by half a length over 1200m at Morioka Dirt as favourite. That continued the good form this campaign, with three wins and two minor placings from nine runs. Big chance once again. HIROSHIKUN (8) continues to race well with a win two back at this track before finishing a neck away in second last time over 1800m at Morioka Dirt. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Will play a major role. SUZUKA GOKETSU (7) finished fifth two runs back then improved last start but found one better over 1600m at Morioka Dirt, beaten half a length. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. TAISEI AGAIN (4) bounced back last start and landed the prize by 0.8 lengths over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another big run. |
