NUM TIME COMMENT
1 10:40 Race 1 1400m
WEISSKLEE (4) finished second at this track and distance at her last appearance four months ago. Looks a winning chance fresh. ALZARD (7) finished fifth last start over 1400m at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Expected to be in this for a long way. YUBAE (1) is experiencing a win drought, extended last start when fifth over 1400m at this track. Hard to beat in this suitable race. RUSK MISO (6) made progress last time out, finishing third over 1400m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well.
2 11:10 Race 2 1400m
SAKURA VIGUEUR (6) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 1400m at this track. Placed to advantage so expect another forward showing. YUNA PINK GOLD (10) hasn't made an impression since resuming despite market confidence. Last start could only manage eighth over 1400m at this track. Rates highly on best figures. WISTERIA DADDY (4) finished out of the money when fifth over 1400m at this track two weeks ago. Well placed and in the mix. MAPLE DREFONG (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1400m at this track. Don't underestimate.
3 11:40 Race 3 1230m
DIGNA (7) pushed forward from a wide draw last time out and was prominent for a long way before fading to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Likely to measure up. STABILIZER (1) showed early speed from an outside draw and held a forward position before fading to finish fifth last start over 1400m at this track. Well placed and could be tough to rein in. KOIBITOMISAKI (6) finished fifth last time out over 820m at this track eight days ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Right in this. RYUNO HINAKO (3) finished fourth last time out over 820m at this track. This sets up nicely.
4 12:10 Race 4 1400m
A SHIN NAZARETH (7) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 30 lengths at this track over 1400m. Has a good record here at this journey with two wins and a minor placing from four starts. Major player. IMAGINE LENNON (1) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at this track and distance when first-up from a layoff last start. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is right in contention. COSMO TAISHI (5) turned in a fine effort to score by 3.5 lengths at today's track and distance last start to maintain his good form of late. Meeting a tougher field but on his best form he is good enough to cope. SCENE DE NEIGE (10) led throughout last start to score an effortless 3.5 lengths win over 820m at this track. Expected to feature.
5 12:40 Race 5 820m
GOD AMAVEL (4) showed early speed from an outside draw last time to lead throughout and score by 1.3 lengths over 820m at this track. Has a fine record here with five wins from eight starts. Expected to be in the finish. ALLENATORE (7) turned in a fine effort to win by 5 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to build on a solid first-up result. Key runner. MEISHO KORAN (5) was quickly into stride over 820m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by one length. Finds a tougher race but another big run will not surprise. HOKUZAN CHOUCHOU (2) was comfortably accounted for when fifth last time out over 820m here after a win at this track at the previous outing. One of the main hopes.
6 01:10 Race 6 1400m
URBAN KING (5) was in commission last time out and finished just 0.8 lengths from the winner in second over 1400m at this track. Has a good association with Sakito Yamamoto with a run of three top-three results. Bold showing expected. WAKAGIMI (1) is ready to win after another minor placing last start, finishing second over 1400m at this track when he was always up in the leading division. One of the key runners. YOSSHI STAGE (7) settled well back from a wide draw last time then wound up strongly to finish fourth over 1400m at this track. Well placed and among the chances. MISS TREVI NO (3) was sixth in a 1400m contest at this track two weeks ago. No surprise to see her in the mix.
7 01:40 Race 7 1400m
KICHI FIGHTER (4) went forward last start over 1400m at this track and held on well for second, beaten a head. Should be prominent again from the low draw and expect another big run. MASTER LICENSE (7) did very well to fill a minor placing when resuming at this track but raced below expectations last time over 1700m at this track, finishing sixth. Look for an improved run here. NOBLE LINER (2) finished fifth at his last appearance over 1400m at this track on December 23. Worth including in this suitable contest. DAISY FLASH (5) ran below expectations last time at this track, finishing eighth. Nicely placed to make amends.
8 02:10 Race 8 1400m
LA LA CEDRATIER (6) was an impressive maiden winner last time out, scoring by 3 lengths over 1400m at this track. Is lightly raced and has plenty of scope for improvement. Can go on with it. CORTADO (5) continued the great form last start, scoring by half a length at this track over today's trip. Should measure up again. TENKU WORLD (9) used the rails draw to good effect last start, bouncing straight to the lead and scoring an all-the-way win over 1400m at this track. Another bold showing is expected. EZE VILLAGE (8) is back at the races for the first time since August 13. Worth noting she filled a minor placing when returning from a spell last time in work over 1400m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
9 02:40 Race 9 1230m
KUKUNA ZINC (6) showed good early pace over 820m at this track last time and kept going to score by 0.8 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he deserves plenty of thought. YOSHINO AVANCE (2) went fast early and went on to score by 8 lengths last time out over 1230m at this track. Will take advantage of the good draw. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is capable of testing her rivals. SHARK RYUSEI (9) finished fifth last time out over 820m at this track two weeks ago as $1.9 favourite. Steps up in distance today. Expected to cross from wide out. One of the main contenders. BAISHU (7) got the prize two runs ago but couldn't follow that up last time out when fifth over 1400m at this track. Nicely placed to play a leading role.
10 03:15 Race 10 1400m
M T ESTATE (2) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 1400m at this track. Has been in super form this campaign, finishing in the money at each of his three starts. Bold showing expected. G T TRUE (1) turned in a fine effort to score by half a length at this course and distance last time out to make it two-for-two this prep. Well placed and can repeat the dose. MEISHO KAIKON (10) made progress last time out, finishing second at the end of 1400m at this track. Has his share of talent and finds a suitable race. TSUKIMUSUBI (4) finished seventh at this track and distance at her last appearance three-and-a-half months ago. Worth plenty of thought fresh.
11 03:50 Race 11 1700m
ENA ANIMAL (6) displayed plenty of early toe over 1870m at this track last time and defied all challengers to score by 2.5 lengths. Excellent prospects in this suitable race. LUX ECLAIR (2) made progress last time out, finishing third at the end of 2400m at this track. Back in trip and has the talent to take this out. HOKUZAN GOLD (9) showed good early dash last start and held on well to finish second over 1870m at this track. Nicely placed to go one better. ANTHRACITE (8) should give this a shake.
12 04:30 Race 12 1400m
GAMBARE BEAR (3) scored her maiden win here last time out over today's trip, getting the decision by 1.75 lengths. Nicely drawn and she is sure to go well. ENA FUKUKITARU (5) broke through for a win last start when second up from a spell, scoring by half a length over 1400m at this track. Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so a top-three finish is on the cards. BELLAGIO HARUKA (2) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 4 lengths over 1400m at this track. Should be prominent again from the low draw. Meeting a deeper field this time but she deserves plenty of thought. MARINA SUNRISE (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a second most recently over 1400m at this track when beaten 2 lengths. Should be in the mix again.
