NUM TIME COMMENT
1 09:55 Maiden Race 1800m
MACAROON BLUE (7) is clearly the one to beat in a weak maiden. Was on speed and fought on well on debut. Sure to take a lot from that experience and makes plenty of appeal. BLUME SUNRISE (3) is the main danger. Boxed on well on debut to hold a place. Has upside and off the low draw should be prominent and run well again. HOLD ME ONCE (9) will be improved on the two runs in the first campaign. Likely to play a major role. QUEEN'S DREAM (13) raced once in the maiden preparation when sixth at Hanshin Dirt over 1800m back on September 28. Will take a lot from that last run and is worth following up.
2 10:25 Maiden Race 1400m
ROYAL SPIRE (13) is honest and deserves to win one. Missed the placings on debut then has been runner-up in four starts since. Fitter and is sure to run well. MEINER TREMORS (12) has placed both starts to date and looks close to a win. Has speed and is a genuine contender in this suitable contest. SEIUN REMEMBER (4) missed the frame fresh but then has placed at last two runs and looks close to breaking through. Strong chance off the low draw. SCHWARZ SCHILD (7) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths. Has upside and worth including.
3 10:55 Allowance Race 1200m
DRAGON TAYLOR (2) looks the one to beat. Effortless maiden winner at only run last campaign. Low draw and expected to measure up again. SYLPH'S MISCHIEF (6) is the main danger. Turned in a nice effort last time and has placed two of last three. Can go on with the job now. SKY BLUE (12) drew wide and boxed pan without threatening fresh. Fitter and expect a forward showing. ONE WAY TO HELL (11) was no threat last time out but this suits. One od the better chances.
4 11:25 Maiden Race 2000m
NOMBRE D'OR (8) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1800m at Kyoto, finishing third and beaten 3 lengths. Kept coming first outing and is an improver who looks a major player. SATONO TRINITY (13) was out of the money on debut two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 2000m at Tokyo, beaten 6 lengths into fourth. Did find the line strongly though. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. GRAINES DE JOIE (9) got back fresh but made good late ground over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. ICE ICE BABY (7) stepped out for the first time last start and was just fair in finishing eighth at Fukushima over 2000m, beaten 4 lengths. Among the better hopes.
5 12:15 Newcomer Race 1800m
WOLF (4) is a son of Nadal from the Group 1 winner Caldine who makes his debut. Profiles strongly and expecting a strong performance. T M TENJIN (6) is a nicely bred two-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Satono Aladdin from Downtown Girl who has a high percentage of winners-to-runners. Promising type who can feature in the finish. BEL SOTEIRA (10) is appearing for the first time. By Hokko Tarumae and comes from the Masayuki Nishimura stable. Any push in betting should be respected. THISAVROS (5) is a well-related two-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By Rey De Oro from Enjoue who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Promising type who can play a big role.
6 12:45 Allowance Race 2000m
TEN MIRACLE STAR (11) wound up strongly last time out to finish one length adrift in third over 1600m at Tokyo when fresh from a break. Will drift back but wind up late. Fitter and looks tough to stop. MARGOT REGINA (4) improved last time out, finishing 1.5 lengths from the winner in second at the end of 2000m at Fukushima. Looks well placed so expect another big run. HIRUNO HLEDAN (2) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break four months ago over 2000m at Sapporo. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Sure to be competitive. ENSUENO (10) resumes from a spell of five-and-a-half months and is having her first outing under new trainer Yuta Sato. Finished fifth at Hanshin over 2200m at the opening run last time in work.
7 01:15 Allowance Race 1800m
TOA KERKYRA (13) resumes from a break. Placed three of four runs before a break. Still a maiden but has ability and expected to measure up here fresh. HISAENO OMOKAGE (7) led throughout for an easy maiden win before a spell. Expected to take catching here fresh. Excellent chance. LUMINEUSE (8) is an honest filly with a good record this trip. Can go on with the job this preparation. CHIGIRI (1) is fitter for two runs back and looks ready to fire. Will drift back off the inside but came with a huge finish.
8 01:45 Allowance Race 1400m
MEIKEI REIN (13) tackled a 1400m race at Kyoto Dirt when fresh from a spell last start and finished fourth, beaten 2.25 lengths. Has never missed the placings at the second run back so he looks sure to be in the finish. SHUREN (12) doesn't have the best strike rate but ran a strong race when resuming from a spell last time out over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt, finishing second and beaten 2.5 lengths. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. KYOEI CANCER (16) doesn't win out of turn but ran a strong race last time out over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt, finishing second and beaten 1.75 lengths. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. DIOGENITE (2) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing sixth at Niigata Dirt over 1800m. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot return to winning ways.
9 02:15 OSU TOKUBETSU 1800m
Looks a good race for RED BOB (5) who goes well here and has placed 2/2 course and distance. Much better draw this time and will give a huge sight. ETERNO LEGAME (6) led and weakened late fresh but will strip much fitter. Has won at the trip and looks a strong winning hope. NOAH VIVACE (8) was well off best at only run last campaign. Has won fresh and form prior to last run was good for this. Can atone. MOMENT CATCH (7) is fitter again and has placed 6/7 at the trip including 2/2 course and distance. One of the top chances.
10 02:50 ICHINOMIYA TOKUBETSU 2200m
Looks a nice race for the talented colt DANON JOKER (7) who has won his last two. Extra trip looks a plus and expected to go close fresh. The danger could well be LAYERED RED (6) who was safely held in the Grade 1 St Leger last time. Big class drop and freshened for this. Gets chance to stone. BARNABAS (5) was a determined winner fresh and fitter again. Extra trip a plus and sure to run well. HORTUS PALATIUM (4) has a great fresh-up record. Should run well.
11 03:25 CHIRYU STAKES 1200m
SOUTH BANK (8) led and just missed fresh. Course and distance winner only try. Speedy filly who will take running down again. ECORO MARS (2) is a talented type resuming. Has two wins to his name while fresh. Low draw and could prove too smart for these. BLACK KELLY (3) went back form a wide gate to the tail and never got into the race. Had won three on end prior to that. Nice draw this time and definitely worth another chance. BABY KISS (4) was less than three lengths from the winner latest despite finishing 10th. Has good speed and a low draw. Right in this.
12 04:10 Allowance Race 1600m
WIN BEATRICE (3) is a promising type who scored at her last run before a break five months ago over 1800m at Fukushima. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Goes well fresh and is sure to be in the finish. FOCAL FLOWER (1) is back at the races for the first time since August 16. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1800m at Fukushima. Has found a suitable race. SNARK PICASSO (6) was out of the money when resuming two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1800m at Fukushima, beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh after being prominent at the corner. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. GOLD BREATH (14) has been in the placings at his last two appearances, finishing third over 1600m at Niigata most recently. Should be involved in the finish.
