Maiden Race 1800m
SUNRISE KEVIN (10) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing second last time when he was handy all the way over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. Looks well placed so expect another big run. MEISHO NANASHIRO (11) progressed nicely last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just 1.5 lengths from the winner in third over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt after being in the firing line on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. SHONAN SAFIRA (1) debuted three weeks ago when he finished eighth over 2000m at Tokyo, beaten 5.5 lengths. Expected to be right there at the business end. AMETHYST LORD (7) debuted five weeks ago when he finished fifth over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 6 lengths. Can improve sharply. |

Maiden Race 1400m
BATTLE AX (9) tried to lead throughout and wasn't far away on debut last start over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, finishing second and beaten 5 lengths. Has ability and looks sure to measure up. KANATA KONATA (15) is a promising type who was in the placings on debut before a fourth last time over 1800m at Niigata Dirt. Has upside and should feature in the finish. G T PICASSO (7) has been in the betting at both starts but hasn't managed to break through. Most recently finished seventh over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Worth considering. LUX DREAM (12) did a fair job on debut last time out, finishing 4.5 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1600m at Tokyo Dirt. Among the chances. |

Maiden Race 1800m
T O AL AIN (6) was close to a maiden win before a nine weeks break, finishing off with a placing over 1800m at Kyoto. Jockey Kohei Matsuyama back aboard. Well placed to get off the mark and rates as the one to beat. SABLE DIAMANT (8) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 6 lengths. Posted good figures the two starts prior. Strips fitter and can feature. BRIGHT AIRY (9) is yet to break through in three runs. Finished ninth at her last appearance over 1800m at Tokyo on November 23 after she gave away a big start. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. LAPTOP (7) finished 11th two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1800m at Kyoto, beaten 3.5 lengths. Likely improver who looks sure to play a big role. |

Allowance Race 1200m
MONT SAINT GOLDEN (1) impressed last time with a 6 length win at Niigata Dirt over this journey. Should be prominent from the outset. Will give a great sight. T O GLASER (7) recorded his maiden win three back and is ready to score again after a couple of recent minor placings, the latest when third at Kyoto Dirt. Has a good association with Riki Takasugi with a run of three top-three results. Best form puts him right in this. KINDERPUNSCH (6) proved too strong two runs ago at this track. Couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt, beaten 8 lengths. Has the talent to produce another win. SHIRANUI (5) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and found a forward position then knocked up in the straight to finish 11th over 1400m in the G3 Kyoto Sho Fantasty Stakes.

FIDDLE FADDLE (10) missed the frame when resuming from a break last time out, finishing fifth and beaten 2.5 lengths over 1200m at Kyoto Dirt. Overall record is sound when second-up and has plenty of upside with the run under her belt. Expected to run well. THREE PEACE (1) finished second two runs back at Tokyo Dirt then improved last time out to score by 3 lengths over 1400m at Tokyo Dirt. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought.

TAKEDAJO STAKES 2000m
TESTIMONE (2) was far from disgraced to finish 1.75 lengths away in second last start over 1800m at Kyoto Dirt. That followed a first-up win at Kyoto Dirt.

THE HANSHIN JUVENILE FILLIES 1600m
Terrific race. ALANKAR (4) has had two starts for two effortless wins so far. Course and distance winner last time as a hot favourite. Has big upside and can make it a winning hat-trick. ARBANNE (6) was narrowly beaten on debut then unbeaten in two runs since. Will have come on since the break and trip suits fresh. Looks a definite danger. STAR ANISE (9) won maiden in a demolition then dug deep and just missed latest. First try at the trip but can go on to better things this campaign. MARGOT LOVE ME (7) has scored two very good wins from two tries. This is much stiffer test but leading rider goes on and drawn better. Should be right in the finish. GARAVOGUE (5) fought on bravely to score maiden win last run before a spell. Far tougher here but honest and will push forward. |

KOTO TOKUBETSU 1600m
DANON KILAUEA (1) closed off strongly last start to get up for third, beaten 0.8 lengths, over 1400m at Kyoto when coming back from a break. Drawn to stalk the leaders. Has won fresh and looks a leading contender. LUX ZINNIA (9) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1800m at Sapporo. Has ability and should be right in the finish. WATER CLARK (7) lines up for the first time since August 2. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1800m at Hakodate. One to consider. NEVE FRESCA (8) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on October 12, finishing tenth and beaten 4 lengths over 1600m at Tokyo. One to consider. |
