NUM TIME COMMENT
1 10:35 Race 1 1400m
CATHPA IMPACT (7) winner two starts back at this track then narrowly missed a repeat last start when third over 1300m at this track. Going well enough to take this out. CHIMU DONDON (3) was well in commission when resuming last start over 1300m at this track when second. Top strike rate at the journey with four wins and a placing from five starts and can get the job done. ARU KANAE (5) broke through for his maiden win over 1400m at this track last time, scoring comfortably. Winning rider Yu Suzuki sticks and he is one of the main chances. MEISHO INTRO (2) turned in a modest performance when third last time out over 1400m at this track after a win at Morioka Dirt at the previous outing. Suitably placed and a threat.
2 11:15 Race 2 1400m
J L LINER (8) met with solid support last start over 1400m at this track when second, beaten 3 lengths. Toshiya Yamamoto stays aboard. Well placed and should be in the finish again. CHERIE AMOUR (2) was sent out favourite last time and scored by 7 lengths at this track. Has started two times at this course and distance and is yet to miss the placings. Winning rider Masatoshi Yamamoto stays aboard. Major player. LEVE CHI AMIGO (7) is on a quick turnaround after a solid second over 1300m at this track seven days ago. Strong run last time and a bold showing is likely. BARU TUUL (3) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
3 11:50 Race 3 1400m
MARUKEI FORTE (10) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. Could be hard to catch today if he gets a soft lead. PEACE ONE JOKER (8) lightly raced colt who was beaten 3.5 lengths into third last start over 1400m at this track. Key chance expected to feature. SHIAWASENO LAMP (2) finished out of the money when seventh over 850m at this track two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a nice race and look for an improved run. AKAI TSUME (9) finished fourth at her last appearance over 1400m at this track on December 2. Should be about the money.
4 12:25 Race 4 1400m
CARITA FELIZ (5) won her maiden over this course and distance last start, getting the verdict by 0.8 lengths. Winning rider Tatsunori Sugawara stays aboard and she should be in the finish. EXCELLENT MAN (1) has returned in good order this preparation. Opened with a second here two starts back then got the job done by 0.8 lengths last time out over 1400m at this track. Well placed and can score again. LOTS OF PLANS (11) did a great job to score by 3 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Can repeat the dose. PURE MAKENA (12) has put together back-to-back placings after scoring three back at Morioka Dirt, most recently beaten half a length into second over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run.
5 01:00 Race 5 850m
FATA FIORE (3) improved last time out to score by 1.5 lengths as public elect over 850m at this track. Major player. COSMO TARRAGON (7) pushed forward last time and battled on gamely to finish just half a length from the winner in second over 850m at this track. Looks well placed so expect another bold performance. FUERTE TESORO (2) did a good job last start to finish second at this track over 850m, only beaten a nose. Nice alley and should run well. MASSILIA (9) was seventh in an 850m contest at this track two weeks ago. Has his share of ability and is a top-three prospect.
6 01:30 Race 6 850m
QUEEN'S PLEASE (7) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over today's course and distance when first-up from a break last start. Strips fitter and is among the better hopes. SAMMARU CEREZO (2) improved last time out to score by a neck over 850m at this track. Likely to be there at the finish again. DAGDA (1) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by a nose over 850m here last time. Among the main hopes.

L'ETOILE D'AMOUR (3) met with solid support last start over 850m at this track when sixth. Masatoshi Yamamoto who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Can play a big role. A SHIN DAHLIA (8) did little and finished tenth over 1400m at this track last start, a less impressive effort than her sixth at Morioka Dirt the run before. Has ability and can run a forward race. LIBERIAN GIRL (5) disappointed last time out when seventh over 1400m at this track. Should get the perfect run from barrier 5 and goes well here. In the mix.
8 02:45 Race 8 1400m
OPTICS (5) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1400m at this track. Tough to beat. MAGNA DOMUS (12) has been in the market at his last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest fifth at this track over 1400m. Last run worth forgiving. Can atone. NOISETIER (4) turned in a modest performance when eighth last time out over 1400m here after a win at Morioka Dirt at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can bounce back. CHIYONO FOREVER (7) was far from disgraced when fourth last start over 1400m at this track after a win at Morioka Dirt the start prior. In the mix.
9 03:20 Race 9 1600m
LIVE ROCKY (4) is back after a break of eight months. Looking to emulate his win at this track when returning from a spell last prep. Rates highly and is likely to be prominent.

12 05:10 Race 12 850m

STAR SHOOTER (5) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fourth over 1400m at this track. Should be peaking now and shapes as a leading player. WHISKY TIME (2) was strongly fancied last time but could only manage ninth over 1400m at this track. Deserves another chance this suitable line-up.
