NUM TIME COMMENT
1 11:30 Race 1 1500m
MIYAGI ROAD (8) finished out of the money when fresh from a spell two starts back then was sixth in a 1400m contest at this track nine days ago. Fitter with strong prospects. MITEKURE KONO ASHI (5) ran a strong race last time when beaten only 0.8 lengths into second over 1500m at this track. Chihiro Kaneko stays on and although yet to win has been in the money on two occasions. Can play a big role. KAMIYAGA RULER (9) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1400m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. SMART ARION (1) turned in a decent effort last start to finish second over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to feature in the finish.
2 12:05 Race 2 1500m
ANOTHER VITA (6) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when second. Capable enough on his day and is a key runner. SANONO LOVE ME (1) is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over 1400m at this track eight days ago. Has the inside gate and is a definite winning chance. ROBARIA NO KISEKI (9) held on well to finish third last time out over 1400m at this track after leading for much of the way. One of the main contenders. MEISHO KOSHI (8) scored two back here but was below his best last time when ninth over 1400m at this track. Yet to miss the placings in two starts over this course and distance. Nicely placed to feature.
3 12:45 Race 3 900m
PANTS TAISHO (1) returns from the paddock after closing last prep with two consecutive wins, the most recent over 900m at this track. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. A bold showing is expected fresh. MIRACOLO ECLAT (5) is a speedy filly who was a winner first up at this track. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. MARUMO GENIE (3) proved too strong two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when sixth over 1500m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role. EIGHT MILE (4) failed to live up to expectations over 900m at this track last time out when in the market after a good second the run before. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time.
4 01:25 Race 4 1400m
INUBONO YUHI (1) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing 14th over 1700m at Fukushima Dirt. Is very well placed in this inferior company and could prove tough to beat. SQUASH BOY (8) is a seven-start maiden who finished fourth at his most recent outing over 1400m at this track. Likely to be in the finish in this suitable assignment. FINE BLUE (7) has been out of the frame at her last couple of runs, last time finishing ninth over 1800m. Better than recent form suggests and expected to improve sharply in this suitable assignment. SAIMON SOUTHERN (5) ran a better race last time at his second career start when fifth over 1400m at this track. Progressive type with claims.
5 02:00 Race 5 1400m
SOMBRERO (6) is still a maiden after four runs. Was well in commission last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed on this occasion and gets his chance to break the ice. NAC STATE (8) improved last start but found one better over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed and rates highly off that run. Top chance. T MAVERA (3) was in a rearwards position on the turn last time out before finishing seventh over 1400m at this track. Looks to be in the right race to play a big role. STAR OF SKY (4) produced a better run last start when fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely improver with strong top-three prospects.
6 02:35 Race 6 1500m
DAS ORCHESTER (3) has filled a minor placing at both runs to date, the latest when beaten one length into second over 1500m at this track. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Among the leading chances. GLACIARES (4) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth starting at $4.50. Beautifully placed and in the mix. BRICK YARD (8) was well in commission last start over 1400m at this track when third. Worth another chance. SANONO SALVADOR (6) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Winning rider Tatsuya Nakajima stays aboard. Must be respected.
7 03:10 Race 7 1500m
GLIESE (4) improved last start but found one better over 1700m at this track. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. SATSUMA FUJI (5) was prominent from the outset and fought on well for third last start over 1500m at this track, making it three minor placings in a row. Settles close to the speed and is nicely placed to feature in the finish again. QUEEN'S STATE (1) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by 0.8 lengths over 1400m. Among the main chances. MOLTO CARINA (3) improved sharply last time to break through for a maiden win over 1400m at this track. In form and another bold showing is on the cards.
8 03:45 Race 8 1400m
SUNADOKEI (3) is in great form lately scoring two wins in a row, the latest here over 1400m by a neck. Should go close if runs up to latest. LUMINA VICTOR (2) is close to breaking through, last start finishing just a neck away in second over 1400m at this track. Should enjoy a good run just off the speed. Nicely placed to take this out. MISSION RAIL (8) turned in a fine effort to win by 9 lengths at this course and distance last start in a far better run. Taking on a better line-up this time but he can win again. NEW RETRO (4) is backing up nine days after finishing seventh over 1500m at this track. No surprise to see him back in form here.
9 04:25 Race 9 1500m
COSMO IVY (1) finished out of the money when sixth over 1400m at this track eight days ago. Capable enough on his day and is one of the major players. BORSALINO (8) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Looks well placed so expect a big run this time. GLYGLYGLY JIRO (3) did little and finished 11th over 1400m at this track last start. Worth noting Masayoshi Aoyagi goes aboard. Finds a nice race and is well placed to figure in the finish. FESTIVE KAREN (4) produced another moderate effort last start when tenth over 1400m at this track. Best efforts measure up and worth another chance.
10 05:05 Race 10 1500m
MEISHO MAKUJIKI (2) has been in great form with two placings in succession, most recently when third over 1400m at this track when he was prominent throughout. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. A SHIN TIPS (4) turned in a fine effort to win by 3 lengths at today's track and distance last start in a much improved run. Must raise the bar but another win beckons. GINZA TARGET (3) is backing up eight days after finishing fifth over 1400m at this track. Well placed to make amends. LINK ARMS (6) produced a good run two starts back to finish second but failed to live up to market expectations last time when out of the placings at this track over the same trip. Well placed and look for an improved run.
11 05:40 Race 11 1700m
LITTLE SOMETHING (6) got home by 5 lengths here two starts ago then disappointed last time at this track when 5.5 lengths from the winner in fourth. Huge chance on best efforts and worth another try. PRESTO KAISER (5) was prominent at the corner and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1700m at this track. Needs to be at his best to beat this field but he is up to the challenge. DOUBLE ATTACK (4) ran a better race and finished fourth last time out over 1700m at this track. Can play a major role. SISTER ACT (2) produced another moderate effort last start when ninth over 1700m at this track. Has her share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
12 06:20 Race 12 1500m
M T SIEG (1) is rarely out of the money and has four straight wins to his name. Built on his credentials at the most recent appearance when a winner by 6 lengths over 1700m at this track. Major player. K'S KOMAKUSA (2) improved last time out to score by a neck as favourite over 1400m at this track. Facing a tougher assignment but capable of running another bold race. PINK RASPBERRY (6) finished out of the money when fourth in a 1400m contest at this track nine days ago. Goes up a rung or two but she is good enough to turn the recent form around. MO MO CHROME (4) broke her maiden five starts back and has not been far away since, most recently when third over 1700m at this track. Must include.
