Race 1 1400m
MALAIKA (10) is a daughter of California Chrome from the Group 3 winner Major Typhoon who makes her debut. Profiles strongly and expecting a strong performance. BLOOM THE DREAM (4) met with solid support when resuming last start over this journey at this track when sixth. Rates highly and expected to go close. CALLIGRAPHY (5) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when fifth here. Has peaks that measure up and is worth some thought. SEIUN SUPERIOR (8) best of the rest. |

Race 2 1400m
SMART RAVE (5) strode forward early from her wide draw last start over this track and trip then fought on gamely to finish second. Worth noting Yoshiki Kamomiya goes aboard. Placed to advantage so expect a forward showing. MEISHO TEN TEN (6) made progress last time out, finishing third here. Looks well placed so expect another big run. COEUR ET CASSIS (8) lines up for the first time since September 3. Looking to emulate her win at this track to kick off the last campaign. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. HERO F A (1) ran well despite being friendless in betting last time here, finishing third and beaten 1.1 lengths. Settles back early but winds up late. Don't underestimate. |

Race 3 1400m
FORD SPIRIT (8) scored at this track last time out with one length in reserve. Has a decent record at this track with one win and two minor placings. Should park just off the speed despite the draw. Likely to feature. TSUKINOWA (1) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Tackling a deeper field this time but she is up to the task. AILES D'ESPOIR (5) started at $7.10 last time and ran below expectations here after being prominent at the corner. Worth noting Wataru Hirose goes aboard. Should go well in this suitable race. T O PERSONAL (7) has a sound record here with three wins and eight minor placings from 24 starts. Deserves respect. |

Race 4 1400m
ALL THE RAGE (4) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when sixth over this journey at Chukyo Dirt. Under the care of new trainer Tomotaka Morisawa this prep. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Leading contender. BESUPOJI (1) returns after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over this track and trip. Has found a suitable race. KICHI FIGHTER (6) finished fourth two runs back then did well last start but found one better here, beaten only 0.8 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Looks well placed so expect another big run. AOI MERCI (5) resumes in a similar race to her last run three-and-a-half months ago when sixth. Comes here with definite top-three claims. |

Race 5 1230m
CHIARO VELOCE (7) finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second when fresh from a break last start over this track and trip after racing in the leading division. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. SHISHI (11) did a good job last start to finish second here. That run should have him rock-hard fit now. Tomohiro Yoshimura who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Leading contender. DANSUKE (2) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell. Has improvement to come and shapes as a leading player. SCENTED JEWEL (3) was narrowly beaten at her latest appearance at this track over 820m three months ago. Worth thought. |

Race 6 1230m
REVALOIR (3) was prominent throughout when winning fresh over this track and trip. Drawn to enjoy a nice run just off the lead. Best form puts him right in this. GAMBARU FUTOSHI (7) produced a reasonable effort when third last start here, beaten a neck. That followed a win at this track the start prior. Has a solid record at this course and distance, including three wins. Takanori Nagai is a key engagement. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot make amends. MEPHISTO (1) ran well below his best last time. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Will give backers a great sight. KIRAKIRARI (4) was below her best last time, finishing sixth here. Has her share of talent and can do a lot better. |

Race 7 1230m
FUKUNO FEAR NONE (5) met with solid support when resuming last start over 1400m at this track when fourth. Rates highly and expected to atone. ANGLER (11) showed good early dash last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing second over this course and distance. Sure to give a sight. LIVINGSTONE (9) will derive great benefit from that first-up outing and deserves consideration. LILY OF THE HEART (4) resumed from a spell last start when fourth here. Will derive great benefit from that outing and deserves consideration. |

Race 8 1400m
SANTO MONARCA (2) displayed plenty of early toe and went on to score dominantly last time out over 1400m at this track. Drawn to take a nice trail just off the speed. Meeting a deeper field this time but he deserves plenty of thought. HIGH LOVE SONG (9) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over this track and trip. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. CAL BAY CRUISE (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second here. Should park just off the speed.

Race 9 1400m
BOW VOGUE (11) gets out over more ground today on the back of some solid form of late, the most recent effort a sixth over 1200m at Monbetsu. Has the pace to be in a prominent position from the outset. Sure to be in the finish. LONG LASTING (6) impressed when successful as favourite on debut over this track and trip three weeks ago. Sure to be further improved and can make it back-to-back wins. SAZAUKI (8) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing fifth. Perfectly placed and is sure to give this a mighty shake. POISON POLESTAR (2) turned in a decent effort last start to finish third here. Nicely placed to find winning ways. |

Race 10 820m
ANKORO (11) was sent out favourite last time and scored by a head at this track. Yet to miss the frame in seven starts over this course and distance. Expected to cross from wide out. Best form puts her right in this. AGNES SHU (5) has scored at his last two starts, most recently by 1.5 lengths over this track and trip. That continued the good form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from 14 outings. Leading player again. SERIOUS HITTER (2) fought on well for second last start here, making it three minor placings in a row. Capable of a big run. LUNE D'AMOUR (3) ran a better race last start to finish a close second here after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best efforts measure up so capable of another big run. |

Race 11 1400m
A SHIN TEMUJIN (4) scored by a neck last time out over 1230m at this track. Has a very good record here including 12 wins from 19 starts. Best form puts him right in this. MIGRATEUR (8) found the line nicely to grab third last time out here. Takanori Nagai who has scored on him two times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. DRAGON GOKU (5) ran on well to get up for second at big odds at his latest appearance over this track and trip. Backmarker who keeps coming. Among the main hopes. SMART AMBER (7) is back from a break of six-and-a-half months. Raced below par at her only appearance last prep when eighth over 1400m at Kyoto Dirt. Has switched to the Taro Nagashima yard over the break. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. |

Race 12 820m
APOSTROPHE (11) scored by half a length last start at this track over this distance after he was prominent at the turn. Form over this journey is strong, boasting four wins from six starts. Expecting a bold showing. PUSH YOURSELF (4) is usually thereabouts but doesn't win out of turn. Stuck on gamely for fourth over this track and trip. Nicely placed to figure in the outcome. INGENIUM (1) was in the money two starts back at this track but couldn't back it up last time. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time. AFRO GITA (12) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing fourth at Kawasaki over 900m. No tougher this time, so she is worth another chance. |
