NUM TIME COMMENT
1 10:40 Race 1 1400m
ISSHIN (4) showed early speed from a good draw last time and led until they straightened, eventually finishing sixth over 1400m at this track. In the mix. A SHIN CHARMANT (2) was well backed but safely held last start when 3.5 lengths from the winner in seventh at this track and distance after jumping from a wide gate. Deserves another chance. LADY COURT ASK (8) performed above expectations last time over 1400m at this track, finishing 0.6 lengths from the winner in third after starting at huge odds. Top-three aspirations. ALZARD (3) was in contention on the turn and finished third last start over 1400m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Worth plenty of thought.
2 11:10 Race 2 1400m
WISPY SNOW (8) hit the frame two starts ago but ran below par last time when seventh over 1400m at this track. Has her share of talent and finds a suitable race. TOTONOO (4) lines up for the first time since August 20. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1400m at this track. Comes here with definite claims. SNARK STAGE (1) showed good early speed and raced on the pace last start before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. NISHINO DANTE (2) was unplaced last start over 1230m at this track when eighth. Well placed to bounce back.
3 11:40 Race 3 820m
TRANCE RUN (6) did little and finished seventh over 1230m last start, a less impressive effort than her fourth on debut at this track the run before. Fitter and nicely placed to feature in the finish. HONKITO KAITE MAJI (3) wasn't far away on debut last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fourth. Can open winning account this time. CHOGOLISA (8) didn't feature last start when ninth over 1230m at this track. Back in trip and look for an improved run. FULL SHOT (7) turned in another moderate effort last start when 12th over 1400m at this track. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
4 12:10 Race 4 820m
KUKUNA ZINC (9) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when third at this track over 1230m. Going well and is among the top chances. KING BUBBLES (8) is yet to break through after three career starts. Could only manage to finish fifth last time out over 820m at this track following a minor placing at this track over 820m the run prior. Can play a major role. FUKU HUALIEN (1) resumes in a similar race to her last run ten weeks ago when third. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race. ASAMESHIMAE (10) did well last start but found one better over 820m at this track, beaten only a nose. Has his share of ability and could prove hard beat in this suitable race.
5 12:45 Race 5 1230m
JU O (11) did a great job to score by 1.5 lengths over this course and distance when resuming from a spell last time out. Finds a tougher race but this looks well within his grasp. A SHIN HOYUPU (6) was well fancied when resuming last start and proved too strong, scoring by one length over 1230m at this track. Fitter for that last hitout and looks a big threat to the top selection. MEIYU (3) has returned in good order this campaign. Collected his maiden win first-up at this track then backed it up with a solid third over 1400m at this track at the latest outing. Has a low draw and is one of the better hopes. TAMBA AZUKI (8) raced on the pace last start and lifted strongly to hold third over today's journey at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
6 01:15 Race 6 1400m
HIGH RESILIENCE (3) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1400m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. O SHIN ANGEL (1) found the line nicely to grab second last time out over 1400m at this track. Key runner who can get home hard into the finish. ERICEIRA (6) is a nine-start maiden who could only manage to finish fifth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. Solid top-three chance on her best figures. PASADENA DREAM (5) ran a better race last start to finish a close second over 1400m at this track. No surprise to see her in contention here.
7 01:45 Race 7 1400m
BRING JOY (7) was ridden positively and led throughout to score over 1200m at Monbetsu last time. Likely to play a major role. KEY BRISE (4) showed good speed and led for much of the way before being claimed in the straight and fading to finish fourth over 1400m here last time. Will go forward and is expected to be in the finish. PASSION PRIMA (3) ran a better race and finished 1.2 lengths away in fourth last time out over 1200m at Monbetsu. Steps up a level but she is worth another chance. KURINO HERO (8) finished fifth over 1400m at this track last start after lifting strongly to score two back. Top-three chance.
8 02:20 Race 8 1400m
LA LA CEDRATIER (10) landed her maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 3 lengths. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Tricky draw to overcome but she is a leading contender. KEIAI TEA (5) returned from a spell two weeks ago when he was seventh over 1400m at this track. Strips fitter and can find the winner's circle. MYTHOS ODE (2) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Not disgraced last time out when finishing second over 1400m at this track, beaten one length. Nicely placed to take this out. LITTLE GIRL BLUE (3) could only manage to finish eighth at her latest appearance over 1400m at this track. No surprise if she figured in the finish here from the good draw.
9 02:55 Race 9 1230m
MOZU REIRA COCONA (12) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a third most recently over 1230m at this track when beaten 2.75 lengths.

10 03:30 Race 10 1400m
BELLAGIO DREAM (1) was an impressive winner last time over 1400m at this track, leading throughout and putting 5 lengths on his rivals. F Komaki who has five wins when partnering stays on. Should be hard to stop. ALPHA INDI (9) missed the frame last start over 1400m at this track, finishing fifth. Finds a nice race and can play a significant role. SHANA O (5) improved last start but found a couple better over 1400m at this track. Wataru Hirose gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. In the mix.

SCHNELL QUEEN (8) is a genuine five-year-old mare who resumed with a solid fourth last time out at this track over 1230m. Major player. NAMURA EDEN (5) finished seventh last time out over 820m at this track three weeks ago. Steps up in distance today. Among the chances.

12 04:40 Race 12 1700m

MEISHO ALADDIN (9) went forward and proved too strong when resuming last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. AKAKICHINO ELEVEN (1) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing ninth starting at $6.50. Steps up a level but he is good enough to take this out. MASTER LICENSE (7) finished second last time over 1870m at this track when resuming from a spell.
